| This tour provided me with so much history about how hip hop originated, where, and with whom. I would have loved to have seen some actual photographs of this--the first party, how people dressed, etc. "MASTER CASANOVA FLY" was outstanding, extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. So was "MADNESS". I also would have liked to have seen more people hip hop dancing. I loved visiting the building where the first hip hop party took place. I wanted to hear more about how hip hop has changed and what it is like today. I also wanted to know more about the message that the hip hop culture shares with the world. It was so inspiring to hear about how people who loved hip hop would do anything to get the chance to dance. It seems as though hip hop is a way of life. |

| You are not going to get a more authentic tour in New York. Even though I grew up in the second generation of hip-hop it was a great history lesson not only of hip-hop but of New York as well. The tour guide did a great job of giving in depth first person information with regards to hip-hop - I would highly recommend this tour. |

| It was a good guide around the town Hip Hop wise, Grandmaster Caz was perfect as a guide through the history of Hip Hop. He's a real entertainer and the perfect man for this type of activity. Nothing but thumbs up for The Hush Hip Hop Tour. |

| First off I was really excited about this tour way before it even began. It was also the clincher that brought myself and my friend - another hip hop fan from the early 80's (when it hit the UK in a massive way) over to New York, so I was hoping for a real insight into the roots of hip hop and I wasn't disappointed.
Grandmaster Caz is a legend. he lived and breathed hip hop from the very beginning, so I was made up to see him take our tour. He's also got a large personality and he's a funny entertaining guy, so there wasn't a dull moment on the tour and every single one of us were listening to his every word while occasionally asking him questions, which he was happy to answer.
He also dropped his rhymes live on the bus, so made it all feel very special.
I don't want to give anything away, but I highly recommend this tour if (like us) you lived through the scene and feel a strong bond to it .
You love the Beatles...... you go to Liverpool and take the tour.
You love Elvis...... you go to Gracelands.
You love hip hop. then you need to go to the birthplace of hip hop in New York and take the Hush Tour - with a legend of hip hop. |

| I am not into Hip Hop at all. I took this tour with 3 teenagers because they wanted to take it. I came away with a different point of view. I have so much more respect for the original Hip Hop artists!!!!! WOW. I was blown away! Very professional and amazing! Thank you! The best tour I have ever taken |

| 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. |
