Hush Tours

Travelled from the Liverpool in the UK to New York and this was the one tour that would let me see some of New York that you wouldnt see on the normal tourist trips. Also, being a big hip hop and electro fan, I just knew that this tour would not disappoint, especially with originals from the furious five and fearless 4 with us hosting the tour. The tour was absolutely brilliant. I think the best for me was actually visiting the location where DJ Kool Herc first laid down his first set - the beginning of it all. I felt absolutely honoured to be in the presence of the pioneers from Hip Hop and to hear their stories and see the love they still have for something that happened so long ago. If you are a fan of music and want to learn something of a culture that is as much a part of New York as the Empire State Building then I recommend this tour to you. There are some major historical landmarks which New York and America need to recognise for their effects on music and culture throughout the world.

Rahim and Mike C were great. The tour was great. We had a really good time.

we would recommend this tour to everybody that has even a slight interest in music and especially hip hop and rap. It was very unique... And the ages that went on the tour were varied from 16 to 42.... And we all loved it! Raheim from grand master flash was incredible, insightful and inspiring!

Meaningful, powerful and REAL experience. 100% recommended. This is more than a tour, its a deep dive into the world of hip-hop, and it will get you stuck off the realness.

thank you it was great!!!

Great guide (Grandmaster Caz) and interesting sights

Me and four friends were lucky to participate in the Hushtours last Saturday. Grandmaster Caz gave insight in the whole history of hiphop. The atmosphere was very good. Relaxed. It was really fun. I will definitely book another tour with Hushtours. Verena.

Really enjoyed Caz telling stories about the early days of hip hop! Great to meet Curtis Blow at the soulfood restaurant. I also liked the way Caz involved the group. Suggestions for improvement: - more historical facts about hip hop (a handout and/or tipps for literature would have been great) - more illustration material (photos, books, film) - tipps for current hip hop clubs as well as record and other stores - an outlook on current hip hop trends These are just some ideas : ) Thank you and all the best, Caroline

While you're patiently waiting for the time machine to be invented, the Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers of Rap is the only way you can experience hip-hop history first hand! Being in NYC and not hopping on the Hush Tour bus is like going to Florence and not going to see the Uffizi! If you are a hip-hop fan, or are just curious, just DO NOT miss it!

we had a great time and grandmaster caz was totally entertaining. highly reccomended tour!

We enjoyed the tour very much and choose it because of my son who just turned 16, he had the most interest in it, me having the second most interest in the tour. I think it was informational fun and we all learned something, it was great going thru the city and stoping at different points. I think it was a great day had by all, thanks!!!

I work in NYC and booked this tour when my 20-year old son came to visit. My son likes all music genres but is a big fan of hip hop music. He loved the tour - I think it was the high point of his trip to New York. I went along for the ride, but thoroughly enjoyed the venues, history and music. The 4-hour tour went by quickly. Grand Master Caz (Cold Crush Brothers) and Mighty Mike Cee (Fearless Four) were outstanding guides and did a great job with a very diverse tour group. I enthusiastically recommend this tour if you want to learn more about hip hop and the City neighborhoods where the culture arose.

Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. We learned quite a bit about the origins of hip hop and about Harlem. Problems with the mike as I saw on previous reviews.

An excellent tour. Some how they manage to cater to everyone from Hip Hop fans to complete newbies. This really is more than a tour of famous sites and more of a trip for anyone that wants to get out of Manhattan and wants to see where (and how) the rest of New York lives. I took my 14 year old nephew and he had a great time. I will be recommending this to everyone I know that visits the city.

Thanks!
