Hush Tours

I was not very enthusiastic about my husband suggesting "Birthplace of Hip Hop" tour while we were in New York. I told him that I didn't even like rap music! How wrong I was! Thank you the Chief for starting the tour and Grandmaster Cassanova Fly for an entertaining look at Hip Hop origins and culture. I would recommond this tour to everyone, no matter your age. People of all ages can appreciate art in all forms. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Well where can we start met JDL of cold crush bros before boarding,mixed bunch of very friendly people from around the world on the tour, met by one of the breakers "chief 69" boarded the bus,which was comfy with air conditioning,we made grand entrance for the "GRANDMASTER CAZ". GRANDMAMASTER CAZ was there from the humble beginnings of hip hop, i know i have many of his 12"s with cold crush and solo joints and of course "WILDSTYLE" and showed us all 4 aspects in great detail ,the tour was informative,entertaining,and pro-active, which even my girlfriend who does not like hip hop/rap music thoroughly enjoyed and joined in, honestly no one could have put more effort and enthuiasm into explaining the roots of hip hop. some highlights were seeing the birthplace of first block party kool herc played in the bronx,the graffiti wall of fame,the breakdancing in spanish harlem,the bronx walk of fame, seeing the apollo and where the disco fever & harlem world stood "why no plaques or memorials "(maybe you could sort this). and even the soul food stop which by the way was reasonably priced and very tasty and souvenir t-shirts cd`s weren`t a rip off either. favorite moment personally for me was CAZ explaination of how sugarhill gangs "big bad hank" stealing his rhymes for "rappers delight" and CAZ`s 32 year old answer back which he performed with as much skill as he did his rhymes on wildstyle and early hip hop classics BRILLIANT! Summed up this was great value for money,with a great host and bunch of guy`s that helped CAZ .....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PEOPLE MANY THANKS PEACE! alex (AL-D) & Jenny

My family and I are so glad we decided to take this tour. Grandmaster Caz and Chief 69 were great hosts. If you really want to get up close and personal with the roots of Hip Hop, this tour is a must! GM Caz takes you back to where it all began, he is the prototypical showman and host. His tribute to our 'lost' rappers has to be experienced, he really moved all of us with his performance. Most people would never venture into the areas highlighted on this tour, and most definitely even if you DID, you would not know where to look and what its all about. Trust me, put your faith in Hush Tours, and let them do what they do best. For sure, the next time we are in NYC we will be taking tours with them. Thank you so much guys, we will treasure our time with you all.

Relax and see harlem and bronx in a hiphop atmosphere!

Our family went on this tour and we were very pleased. Our guide was funny and informative and we saw parts of New York that we would have never seen. The history and culture of hip hop is amazing and we learned much more than expected. We recommend it to anyone, whether or not you follow hip hop artists, because this tour provides an opportunity to obtain a greater understanding of the depth of this movement.

Visited NY with my family, including two teenage sons (14 and 16) who love music and Hip-Hop in particular. Saw this tour and decided to give it a shot; very, very glad we did. Met our tour-guide, Hip Hop pionner and un-official Mayor of Harlem JDL, and took off on a two-hour walking tour of everything Hip-Hop. Learned about the music's roots, foundations, leaders and legends. JDL was great and the entire experience was one of the highlights of our trip. Would highly, highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in music, history or New York in general.

Really enjoyed the tour. Had seen little of the Bronx in the past. Very informative about the culture of hip hop.

Interesting in viewing and understanding hip hop, his birth an his style, good option to visit Harlem and Bronx with somebody from the scene. Thanks for the interesting day, very good organization and good entertainment with Grandmaster Caz ;)

This was an outstanding tour -- the history of hip-hop with one of its founders. Our son loves hip-hop, we somewhat less, but the tour was very interesting for us as well from the historical perspective. We left with much more sympathy, respect, and admiration for hip-hop as an art form. I would highly recommend the tour for those who enjoy hip-hop music but also for those who may not understand it. You will learn to appreciate it as well.

A brilliant experience for all the family: Grandmaster Caz was a great MC for the tour and provided a very interesting and humourous history of the bithplace of hip hop, with plenty of audience participation. Only 1 hip hop fan in the family but all of us enjoyed it. Also would recommned Jacob's for soul food lunch.

A great tour with the enthusiastic Grandmaster Caz.

Informative, fun and the food was fab! We got to visit places not normally on the 'tourist map' and enjoyed the full interactive experience with our guide. Would highly recommend this tour!

Wondering if you should spend 4hrs of your time in NYC on a hip hop tour of the boogie down Bronx & Harlem? Do it! I love hip hop so no surprise that i really enjoyed being shown around the area which gave birth to the culure - my wife does n't dig the music so much but found the tour really interesting & enjoyable. Respect due to Caz and crew - peace out

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Hush Tours - Grandmaster Caz was informative, entertaining and the day flew past. Great stop at Jacob's Soul Food for lunch. Would recommend it whether or not you're a fan of Hip Hop - you will be by the end of the afternoon!

This tour really covered all elements. Definitely learned a lot about the orgins of hip-hop. If you love Hip-Hop and want to learn from the real deal not just what was written in some book...this tour is for you. Grandmaster Caz was an excellent tourguide and his love and knowledge of Hip-Hop is coming straight from his pores.
