| Well, What can I say. I am a hip hop "head" from England and was well looking forward to this tour. Me and my girlfriend didn't really know what to expect but were going in the knowledge that we would see some sights that you wouldn't usually see doing usual tourist stuff, and also learn new stuff about Hip Hop. We were'nt disappointed. From start to finish everything about the tour was first class, the way it was run (Hush Tours Stand Up!!!!) company on the coach, the importance and general knowledge learnt from every site, the amount of time taken to explain where we were and how relevant the sites were and just the general overall feel of everything involved in the day. As i said Hush Tours were brilliant in every aspect of the day, and the whole tour for me (and my girlfriend) exceeded our expectations, however special mention needs to go to our tour guide on the day, the amazing JDL (Jerry Dee Lewis) form the pioneering Cold Crush Brothers. He was on point everywhere he took us, describing everything brilliantly and telling us his experiences and insights and what it was like back in the day. His passion and love of Hip Hop was apparent (obviously he was there, and had a big part to play) and it felt like he was loving this as much as we were. He was the perfect tour guide, always willing to answer questions and also willing to have a photo taken. Good lookin' JD!!! Overall, I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone. If you are well into your hip hop, you will fully appreciate everything here (and going to 1520 Sedgewick and meeting a legend is worth it anyway!!!) If you're slightly into hip hop, you get to see where it all started and learn more about the culture from a legend who was there. If you're not into hip hop (why not!? Only kidding!!) this is a chance to not only learn about the essence of an important component of not only American, but also Popular Culture, but also to see parts of New York that you wouldn't neccesarily have otherwise seen, with a great group of people, an excellent tour guide and a well organised friendly company. What are you waiting for....see where it started and where its at!!!!! | ||||||

| My wife and I took our two teenage sons on the tour when we were on holiday in New York. We had expected to endure the tour rather than enjoy it. The opposite was certainly the case. The day we went it was very very cold. New york was just getting over it's biggest ever single snow fall. The warmth of the greeting we received along with the burning enthusiasm made sure it was all worthwhile. The guides, Rahiem and Red Alert gave us a lot of good information with passion and humour. There was loads of interaction with us. I was personaly struck by the fact that neither of these guys needed to be there. It was not a chore for them. They were obviously keen to impart their love of Hip-Hop and Rap to a wider audience. The highlights for me were the performance on the bus by Rahiem and the meal in the very good restaurant in Harlem. The boys loved it all. There are only two small points I would like to make that might improve things slightly: firstly it may be an idea to forget the hat and bling, give them to the guests to keep, or at least let them know when they are given out that they are only on loan. The other thing is that I'm sure an arrangement could be made to allow the tour guides to get a key for the graffiti wall, particularly as this tour promotes such a positive image of the art.

| My 15-year-old son and I have a somewhat limited interest in hip hop per se, but we dig the culture, graffiti, origins of all black music styles, including jazz, old style R&B, soul, funk, etc. Our charming tour guide, 'Reggie Reg' from the legendary 'Crash Crew' (authentic Sugarhill Records act, known for their 1980 debut 'High Powered Rap' ) met our 8-strong walking group at an uptown museum, and walked us to deepest Harlem, via the Graffiti Wall of Fame, Apollo Theatre and Happyhouse Record Store Reggie spun the sounds on a portable speaker, including S Wonder, J Brown and Fatback Band and explained how hip hop came about through young R&B fans in the Bronx wanting to make their own noise, DJ-ing, scratching, rappping, taking it all the way to Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill Gang, etc. By recording live DJs direct onto their boom boxes and recycling cassettes to the new young hip hop market, pioneers like the Crash Crew virtually invented the illegal download (!) and today's multi million dollar hip hop industry. Reggie finished the two hour walk on 125th Street - an area us whiteys would have avoided even five years ago - but no worries, it was as calm as Downtown Disney, with loads of great record and clothing stores, and for a thrilling remnder of the past, the Hotel Theresa building where Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke and every black superstar stayed when they played the Apollo in the glory days. A dignified subway ride on the A-train took us back to midtown. A highly recommended tour to anyone who digs black music. | ||||||

| It was an excellent day, something you must experieance if you have had any interest at all in the roots of hiphop. Covering every aspect of the culture I found the tour very informative and entertaining. This was largely due to having Grandmaster Caz as our host, it was great to hear his unbiased and detailed story of the early days of hiphop and the part he played in it. Higlights of the day included visiting 106 and park grafitti hall of fame, somewhere I have wanted to visit for many years - Excellent pieces by Dez, Ink76, Pink and Tats Crew. We also enjoyed visiting Rucker Park where we were given an exhibition in b-boying by some of the locals. Another highlight was visiting the Apollo theatre in Harlem, where we had the oppotunity to get off the bus and take photos. The only disappointing thing on an otherwise excellent day was not being able to actually enter the Hall of fame which was locked - although still managed to get some excellent photos. Just being able to visit places I had only ever seen in films and books was a truly amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone. | ||||||

| The Hip Hop Tour led by Pioneering Legends of Rap was GREAT! You do not only see and hear hip hop, but you feel it with your own body. By experiencing this tour, you are able to get a new, deeper look into Hip Hop. Can't expereince it any where else! | ||||||

HIP HOP CHURCH COMMENTS

| WE EXPECTED TO BE PICKED UP BY A BUS LIKE THE SATURDAY ACTIVITIES AND ACTUALLY SEE HARLEM BUT INSTEAD WE WENT BY SUBWAY AND GOT OUT RIGHT AT THE CHURCH AND SAW NOTHING. WOULD HAVE PREFRRED A BUS TRIP AND THAT WAY WE COULD HAVE SEEN THE AREA. I THINK $25 IS EXPENSIVE TO HAVE TO CATCH A SUBWAY TO A CHURCH THAT IS ACTUALLY FOR FREE TO GO TO. APART FROM THE ABOVE COMMENTS, I AM GLAD I WENT AND HAVE RECOMMENDED IT TO OTHERS | ||||||

| I would highly recommend this tour for any serious hip hop head who respects the thought of learning the history/roots of something you love. Grandmaster Caz was great and koo to kick it with. He's very knowledgeable. Listen to his stories, take it all in, and just flow with the tour. You're visiting the Jerusalem of Hip Hop. To visit these actual spots after a lifetime of living/loving hip hop is amazing. Go to the tour you'll love it. | ||||||

| as a fan of hip hop or not, this tour is a great way to learn and see parts of NY without having to deal with public transport etc. full of laughs and plenty to see i felt special to be able to partake in what ended up being a thoroughly enjoyable tour. Caz was a very loveable guide. recommend to all, even if you are on your own as i was. | ||||||

Not worth the money

| Well, I was really disappointed since the focus of the tour was so narrow and there was no information about political reasons that started Hip Hop. It was just a tour in a bus showing us the house where the first "hip hop party" took place and a short drive through Harlem to show us an area used in some old movies, but nothing about the real start of hip hop. So, in my opinion it was kind of a rip-off and nothing to really inform about the beginning of Hip Hop. Moreover, Caz just happened to be bragging about his involvement in the birth of Hip Hop and nothing more. | ||||||

Grandmaster caz is awesome !!!

| My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves, Caz was great to be around. He was really down to earth and real. If you desire knowing the history of hip hop this is the tour to go on. 1love | ||||||

| Our guide was very knowledgeable & pointed out various landmarks, however, the tour was to have lasted two hours & only lasted one. Also, the ad mentions photo opportunities with legends of hip hop & the chance to purchase c.d.'s, etc. We never got either of these. I enjoyed the tour & would certainly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in hip hop, but doesn't necessarily know much about its history. However, our particular guide only brought us up to the late 1980's/early 1990's & didn't continue to discuss the evolution up to the present. | ||||||

| Great tour by people really in the know - not just about hip hop but about Queens too. A brilliant way to see a different borough and learn about what it really means to live there. The graffiti at 5 points is worth the trip alone. Highly recommended! | ||||||
