| You're in good hands with Grandmaster Caz as he shows you where hip-hop got its start at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, as well as other landmarks in Harlem and the Bronx. Caz was one of the pioneers of hip-hop in the Seventies , and he's got tons of great info and stories. Bring some extra money for the wide selection of CDs, including rare live performances from legends like Grandmaster Flash and Kurtis Blow. A great way to spend a Saturday in New York! |

| I always said if I ever visited NYC id do a HipHop Tour! Caz was brilliant he has and is LIVING the HIPHOP lifestyle. He was very informative and of course obviously knowledgeable! A real nice bloke and i felt it was a really very personal tour, the streets the jams the battles and of course the graffiti too. I told him about the time as a kid my friends and I went to see Grandmaster Mel at a gig in our town. Caz said “Hell I got Mel on speed dial on my cell!” Amazing, the Harlem streets where Dougie Fresh lives and the apartment where it all started and topped with the soul food restaurant - Manna's in the Bronx - Amazing. The story of the SugarHill Gang too & the B-Boy demo!!….So glad I did the tour! Caz if you are ever in the UK be sure to look me up! Even posted some pix on facebook! Ha! Paul Mitchell UK |

| 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 !!! |

| ...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.

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 |
