Hush Tours

A very entertaining tour, it was awsome to see some of the sites from the early days of hip hop.... This is definitely a tour i'd recommend to anyone and everyone interested in the hip hop culture.

...but nothing beats being shown around the culture's birthplace by Grand Master Caz. 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, the building where Harlem World used to be, The Apollo etc are all to be experienced 'live' - this cannot and should not be only experienced on the pages of a book or on a DVD. Caz is a legend, an orginator, a great guide and really friendly - he's my kind of hero. Even my wife enjoyed the experience (we were on our honeymoon!) If you love hip hop or have a serious interest in cultural history, book up. Pete (England)

Kelsi and I had a great time. I sure my son would like to come check it out this summer. Thank again.

I was a little hesitant at first to order tickets for the Hip Hop tour with Hush Tours; but they provided great directions and it was so easy to print up the tickets. The tour was awesome! I learned so much about Hip Hop, and love it even more now than ever. It is one of the greatest highlights of our first trip to New York from Hawaii. I highly recommend it!

Not knowing much about the history of Hip Hop, I had to be persuaded to go on this tour. However, I have to say that it was the highlight of my great week in New York. Casanova Fly, our tour guide and member of Hip Hop history, is really brilliant: he knows his stuff (as well he should, being part of it) and on top of that, is a real entertainer. At one point on the tour, someone driving past recognised him, stopped his car, jumped out, embraced him and then explained that "this guy was the source" (presumably of Hip Hop). At first I thought that it had to be staged, but it seemed way too random to be so. I would go back on this tour any day of the week.

Having heard about the Hush Hip Hop Tours I had high expectations but the minute Grandmaster Caz stepped on the bus and we drove around Harlem and the Bronx these expectations were met, if not exceeded! Dope tour with great knowledge and a humble/friendly guide. Wish I was in town long enough to do the Queens Rappers Row tour... next time!!! Peace from Melbourne, Australia

Whether you're into hip hop or not this tour is a MUST on a trip to NYC, if you want to go beyond the coventional tourist stuff. We were taken around for four hours by one of the legends of the old skool. The one, the very only ... Grandmaster Caz. In English parlance this man is the "dog's bollocks". He's a brilliant guide and raconteur. Not only does Caz educate you about the music, the grafitti, the clothes and the moves, he also tells some pretty funny stories too. Go on this tour and go back to the roots of hip hop. Sedgwick and Cedar '73 is what it's all about.

I REALLY ENJOY IT. BEFORE OF THAT, MY FRIENDS THEY WEREN'T TOO MUCH INTO THE HIP HOP WORLD, AND AFTERWARDS THEY ARE INTERESTED ON IT. I'M GOONA RECOMMENDED IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN SPAIN AND OTHER PLACES, !!! THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFULL TIME !!!! SILVIA RENDO

I planned this tour for my husband and myself while in the NYC for the Calzaghe vs. Jones Jr. fight. We both really love old skool hip hop and music as a whole. We weren't sure what to expect on the tour, but really, how could it not be cool when dealing with old skool roots and history. The group was small which was cool. We got to see the 5PTZ Wearhouse, LL's grandmothers house and stopming grounds along with many other artists. Mikey Dee and Googles were great tour guides, they even took us to Sybil's for some Jamacian food. Which was awsome, thanks guys. We recommend this tour for anyone, and will be back to check out the other tours. OLD SKOOL music is where is starts.

What a great experience this was i am from Melbourne Australia my friend and i had a ball on the tour. Great to see something different from the normal NYC tours, small group made the tour very personal and a lot of great infomation, Grandmaster Caz was a great host on the tour. Well worth doing the tour will be telling friends and family to do the tour when they come to NYC. Many thanks to Grandmaster Caz 10 out of 10

I had a blast on this tour. It took me around NYC to places that I hadn't been, harlem and the bronx. Grandmaster Caz was an awesome guide, friendly and full of knowledge. We saw a b boy do some dancing for us, the graffiti hall of fame, the place of the first hip hop party, etc.

I thought this tour would hit a few hip hop highlights, teach me a few things, but it went way beyond that. It renewed my love for NYC and the old school scene. Raheim from Grandmaster Flash had a lot of insight and wasn't afraid to get controversial. There was a whole lot of love on our tour bus -- the leaders totally encouraged the budding rapper and b-boy in our group to share their talents. This is a tour company with heart and a lot of respect for its customers. Whether you are a hip-hop know-it-all or just curious about a fundamental part of what makes this city great, you should go on this tour.

Rap is something you do. Hip Hop is something you live. This tour highlights and explorers the origins and history of this essential culture in a extremely thorough fashion. I would recommend it to any Hip Hop Head. Peace, B-Boy SikMik

an amazing and exciting tour! Rahim was informative and entertaining - really fun stuff. live breakdancing in spanish harlem and soul food in the bronx, loved every rockin' minute! congrats on an excellent tour. holly fletcher-kirsten

Raheem was an excellent guide - he really knew his stuff, the boom box with "The Message" blaring out down the street was a nice touch. The tour was relaxed, but very informative and we learnt a lot about Harlem and the Bronx -so I would recommend this tour for anyone and not just Hip Hop heads! We were in NYC on our honeymoon and I have to say that this tour really was the icing on the cake! Ben and Rachel Allen Bristol UK
