| Fun tour guide and many interesting places to visit. The soul food restaurant where the lunch stop takes one is great. Then Bronx part could have been larger, though, and the price of the tour is quite high. However, great way of seeing those corners of New York a regular tourist itinerary usually doesn't take you! And of course, lots to learn about Hip Hop... |

| As a fan of hip hop this is something that everyone needs to do. Just the fact that you can spend a few hours with a hip hop legend is well worth it. Grand Master Caz was awesome and provided the coolest information ever. The places we went were great and was sort of like a pilgrimage. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about hip hop history, you will be surprised some stuff you don't know AND you actually go to specific spots that you have always read/heard about....goodtimes fo sho! |

| i thought it was a fantastic tour with a true legend who knows and was part of
hip hop history, the only downside was the school where the grafitti hall of fame
is was closed. apart from that it was well worth it !!! |

| 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.

| 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. |
