| If you have any interest in music this tour is a must for you. Grandmaster Cas, our tour guide, was superb and to think he was at the forefront of this music revolution is amazing. This tour will take you to parts of New York you will not otherwise visit, and you will also get an excellent history lesson long the way. A fun informative tour that will probably be the highlight of your holiday. Also great for teenagers if they are into hip hop. |

| The tour was excellent. A faultless history lesson in New York history expertly and enthusiastically told by the legendary Grandmaster Caz sticking to the facts and telling it like it was. Slightly marred by the initial choice of music (nobody want to hear Puff Daddy/P-Diddy/Diddy or LL Cool J past his prime - sticking to the better, non-commercial stuff would have been a far better choice) and the selling of bootleg CDs at the end (especially as this happened directly after Grandmaster Caz's tale of getting denied royalties from Rapper's Delight - a touch hypocritical if you ask me). These minor gripes aside, this is highly recommended especaially if Grandmaster Caz is your guide on the day. |

| First off I want to thank Hush Tours (Sorry can't remember the helpful lady's name) for giving us a meeting point when our flight was delayed and we were half an hour late. Met the crew at 106 & Park where we walked around this school yard with all this sick graffiti including the "Graffiti Wall of Fame". From there we stopped at multiple historic spots. One being Rucker Park where Mighty Mouse B-Boy master gave us a dose of some NY b-boyin'. Which included a challenge from one of our fellow tour crew which was coo. Even though I may of knew a lot of the history already it was sick to see all the original birth places. Not to mention having Caz as a MC the whole time, #$%!ing sick! MC Delight was jokes " Who put this thing together? Me that's who!" a must see live. My fav moment had to be getting a pic of me and Caz in front of the birth place of Hip-Hop and now a landmark 1520 Sedgwick Ave. Strictly Unforgettable! |

| This tour was much more that I expected....I am a local dj out of Texas that has some knowledge of "Old School" Hip Hop but not a lot since I cater to a different style of Music (Tejano)....This was an extremely educational tour...I learned so much from this expierence....I would highly recommend this tour for everyone...I took my wife and daughter with me and they had a good time also.....The only draw back if you can say this to be a draw back was that we had to eat our lunch on the bus since we were running short on time....To me this was the highlight of my visit to New York!!!!!!! |

| A guided tour of hip hop landmarks in the city where it all began and guided by hip hop LEGENDS no less! You can't go wrong, people. My friends and I were fortunate to have the pleasure of Reggie Reg and the one and only Kurtis Blow. These two cats guided us through the rich history of old school hip hop while asking us to take in scenery that is legendary. If you know your hip hop, you know pretty much every story these guys will tell, but to hear it from people who helped create hip hop is a wholly different experience. Plus, one of my friends kinda tagged along and wasn't so much into the history of hip hop, but he was really positively surprised and learned a thing or two. Both Blow and Reg are elder hip hop statesmen and act as such. Plenty of smiles and no bad vibes whatsoever. You will not regret it! |

| Being from the Canadian Prairies I wanted to see some Hip Hop landmarks while visiting NYC but I was not sure how to go about it. As I surfed the net I came across Hush Tours and immediately booked a Hip Hop Tour. The tour could not have been better. The 4 hour tour flew by as we ventured through areas of Manhattan, Harlem and the Bronx checking out various culturally important sites.
Our "Hip Hop Legends Tour" included the delightful and modest Reggie Reg from the legendary Crash Crew. Other legends came along for the ride as well. Grandmaster Mele Mel from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five and Easy Mo Bee were also on the bus. We also has the president of the Sedgwick & Cedar clothing line in our attendance.
Reggie Reg was a fantastic host and described the history and culture of Hip Hop well. My wife, who doesn't know as much as I do about Hip Hop, found the tour to be very informative. I also learned knew details that I did not know about before. Mele Mel was hilarious on the tour and always had something to say. The bus was treated to a mini-concert as Mele Mel played emcee and performed "The Message" to us. Amazing!
I highly recommend this tour because this is the best chance to meet some real Hip Hop artists and to understand the whole Hip Hop culture and it's history in NYC. This tour is equally entertaining for Hip Hop heads and people who would like to learn about Hip Hop.
I would go again if I visited New York City just to see who I might get a chance to meet.

| One of the friendliest and enjoyable tours I've been on. An informative and entertaining trip. Got to meet some of the legends of early hip-hop who gave a unique personalised view of the roots of hip hop. Would highly recommend this trip to everyone!! |
