| This was a wonderful tour. It is a must if you are planning a trip in the area. We had the benefit of having a smaller group - so the tour was very personal and we were able to really have a unique experience. The person that took us on tour was VERY knowledgeable and made sure we have an opportunity to really appreciate the culture and history of hiphop. The lunch buffet was outstanding and really made the experience significant. Don't hesitiate to take this tour, it is the real thing -- it will be one of the most memorable experiences in New York . |

| I work in NYC and booked this tour when my 20-year old son came to visit. My son likes all music genres but is a big fan of hip hop music. He loved the tour - I think it was the high point of his trip to New York. I went along for the ride, but thoroughly enjoyed the venues, history and music. The 4-hour tour went by quickly. Grand Master Caz (Cold Crush Brothers) and Mighty Mike Cee (Fearless Four) were outstanding guides and did a great job with a very diverse tour group. I enthusiastically recommend this tour if you want to learn more about hip hop and the City neighborhoods where the culture arose. |

| 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! |

| The Hip Hop Tour was excellent and I recommend it to anyone that will be making a trip to New York. The tour provided you with an indebt history of not only Hip Hop, but the Black History of New York. Caz, our tour guide was excellent and enthusiastic. The Hip Hop tour was one of the major highlights of my trip. The additional members of my group stated that they were glad that I chose this tour as one of our activities.
We were also very lucky, because we were able, to tour the Apollo, which was not on our schedule, and there was also a gentlemen on the tour who conducts, some of the major tours of New York. Therefore we received some additional information on landmarks, great places to shop, and locations on where to buy discount Broadway tickets.
I felt like for the money we paid, we received three tours in one, and it was well worth the money.
The only negative thing that I would say about the tour is lunch. I think that the website should state, that, "Although we do stop for lunch it is not included in the tour, and you must have cash."
Besides lunch, everything was great.
Thank You :)

| The tour was excellent. It is amazing to think that you can sit there and tour these historical neighborhoods as the history of hip-hop is orally described to you from the perspective of a real hip hop pioneer. My tour was led by Curtis Blow and included everything from lunch with the man, to an improvisational turn at performing "The Brakes" live on the bus, to a question answer session. The group was small and manageable, but that will surely change as more people hear about this wonderful experience. Overall it was well organized, although a bit more discipline could help make time for a few more spots. The only complaint I would have is that we did not go to Brooklyn or Queens. They should consider lengthening the tour to include at least one of those sites as well as the sites we did cover. I would not mind another 1-1.5 hrs to see those sites, the possibilities are endless. I had a great time. It was the best tour I have ever been on and should be emulated in other cities that have historical or cultural significance that is ignored by the mainstream. |

| Fun and different tour where I learned alot about Hip Hop culture and shared the experience with my 19 yr. old son. It was interesting to see and hear about other parts of New York since my tourist experiences have been pretty much limited to Manhatten - theatre, dance, restaurants and shopping.
Grand Master Caz was charming, engaging and informative. Even the range of diversity of the other tour goers was interesting. I thought the tour was well organized although could maybe be compressed into a little shorter time span, but maybe not considering the miles covered.
I would particularly recommend this tour to families with children ages 12 and older since it is more challenging to find activites that both parents and teenagers can enjoy together.
Lunch was great! |
