Hush Tours

The Hip Hop tour was very knowledgeable, interesting and extermely fun. The comentator "CAZ" was the bomb and nontheless Deborah we really do appreciate you waiting on us due to the Dumb taxi driver. I will most definetly take the tour again. My people the tour is well worth your money not only is it fun it's a learning tour of our roots back in the day when Hip Hop started and you will also get a chance to see some memorable landmarks. Caz don't leave the hats at home next time!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha :)

Grandmaster Caz and Debra gave us more than we could ask for. We had a chance to be with one of the founders of hip hop and that in its self is priceless. I will always remember Caz's passion and dedication to the art of Hip-Hop and I can't thank Debra enough for HUSH productions and her commitment to the experience. Thank you!

Understanding the begins of Hip-Hop and Rap. One recommendation: Add more of the newer rappers as part of the tour. So, you'll get more young people involved in the understanding of the beginning of Hip-Hop.

OMG!! I absolutely loved it. I have been on MANY NYC tours and this was completely different. It was interesting, fun, interactive and educational. I currently live in Brooklyn and love when I have opportunities to see other parts of the city. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to hip-hop lovers and people who just want an exciting/different experience in NYC. All of the landmarks were historical and the Graffiti Wall of Fame was amazing!! Grandmaster Caz was the guide and what a lucky woman I was to have a forefather of Hip-Hop giving me a tour and history lesson. He was VERY funny and honest. And now I can't stop seeing him on every show and documentary of hip hop....He is even my MySpace picture right now :)

A most informative tour with and excellent tour guide, Yo Caz! Highly recommended to anyone who thought they knew everything about Hip Hop, you may have seen the documentries and read the mags and books but to be able to see it all in person is the total experience!!

What an amazing experience to be part of the congregation at the Hip Hop Church. Debra very kindly escorted me herself, and introduced me to Kurtis Blow on arrival. The night was full of energy, and wonderful entertainment. I almost forgot I was in a church! The Pastor has created a great thing, and I hope it continues to be as strong as it is, with whoever replaces him. I was made to feel very welcome, and enjoyed taking part in the singing and dancing in the pews. An experience I will always remember fondly, and something I will never experience anywhere else!

Knew a fair bit about hip-hop's origins before we went on this tour, but found out ALOT more! Grandmaster Caz is a superb host, filled with knowledge and alot of humour and happy to take questions at any point... It's amazing to see the many spots that you just wouldn't be able to find ithout a dedicated tour-guide pointing them out. Seeing the hall of fame, Spanish Harlem, Malcolm X's Mosque #7, the Apollo and so on was amazing. RECOMMENDED!

I really enjoyed the tour, especially the way GM Caz presented it. that was great. I liked the places we went to, perhaps lunch was a little too long,

All in all, had a great informatve and day and got a lot of good information about the roots of HipHop

Hip Hop is a rich culture and social movement that has sprung from the streets of NY and exploded into a global phenomenon. Hip Hop is a positive movement that gave an identity and voice to those who previously had no voice in our culture. It's important to understand the history of Hip Hop and ALL the facets of Hip Hop, not just the commercial versions seen on TV or heard on the radio. Who better to learn from than one of the pioneering groups, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Rahiem hosted our tour and he was amazing. I could have talked to him for hours. He has lived Hip Hop and seen it flower and change over the years. If you get Rahiem as your tour guide, LISTEN TO HIM, he has some really thought provoking ideas that I largely agreed with. He is a teacher who is willing to share more about the culture than just the sites on the tour. Take advantage of his time and learn as much as you can. As you walk through the streets of Harlem, use all your senses to take in the beauty and culture of this neighborhood. It's well worth the $25 ticket price...the best part of my 6 day trip.

The tour was great... Am not as deep in my knowledge as my husband and found it just as entertaining as he did! Grandmaster Caz was totally engaging, held the floor of the bus as it was his stage... Taking you through from the roots of hip hop (thank god no jiggy ish), and where it all began... The food wasnt as bad as a previous poster described, its a soul food buffet, take what you like, leave what you dont... Was dope to get a pic with Caz at the end as well, definitely one for the album!!!

A good tour with lots of talk about hip hop. Nice lunch in Harlem.

First, we were very happy that the Hushtour people found an alternate tour guide on the same day our guide was ill. Our alternate guide was Reggie Reg from the Crash Crew who experienced and knew everything about the early hip hop days and personally knew most of the other people who are the hip hop pioneers (as well as half the people we met on the street!). He was very kind to us, directed comments to all of us, asked us questions about what we already knew, etc. We walked from 106th street up to 125th street with the narrative going non stop about the chronology of hip hop events starting back in the 70's. When the tour was over, Reggie Reg helped us figure out our transportation back and personally escorted us there. My 18 year old daughter was loving it. Lots of opportunities for great pics too. Recommended highly.

We really enjoyed the tour. It was nice to hear more detail about the history of Hip Hop and how Harlem contributed to its creation. Raheim was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the elements of Hip Hop. He made everyone feel comfortable as the tour progressed. Just as a suggestion, it would be nice to have a way for the tour guide to project his voice. We were a group of only 7, but will all the traffice on the streets, it was sometimes difficult to hear his remarks. We would definitely encourage others to participate in the tours, if visiting NYC. Thanks, Kyle, Kim and Dasja

Ordered this tour without my son (age 20) knew it. He's into hip hop - me too! It was an enourmous interesting tour with a fantstic guide. Thank you!
