| Me and four friends were lucky to participate in the Hushtours last Saturday.
Grandmaster Caz gave insight in the whole history of hiphop.
The atmosphere was very good. Relaxed. It was really fun.
I will definitely book another tour with Hushtours.

| Really enjoyed Caz telling stories about the early days of hip hop! Great to meet Curtis Blow at the soulfood restaurant. I also liked the way Caz involved the group.
Suggestions for improvement:
- more historical facts about hip hop (a handout and/or tipps for literature would have been great)
- more illustration material (photos, books, film)
- tipps for current hip hop clubs as well as record and other stores
- an outlook on current hip hop trends
These are just some ideas : )
Thank you and all the best,

| While you're patiently waiting for the time machine to be invented, the Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers of Rap is the only way you can experience hip-hop history first hand! Being in NYC and not hopping on the Hush Tour bus is like going to Florence and not going to see the Uffizi! If you are a hip-hop fan, or are just curious, just DO NOT miss it! |

| We enjoyed the tour very much and choose it because of my son who just turned 16, he had the most interest in it, me having the second most interest in the tour. I think it was informational fun and we all learned something, it was great going thru the city and stoping at different points. I think it was a great day had by all, thanks!!! |

| 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. |

| An excellent tour. Some how they manage to cater to everyone from Hip Hop fans to complete newbies. This really is more than a tour of famous sites and more of a trip for anyone that wants to get out of Manhattan and wants to see where (and how) the rest of New York lives. I took my 14 year old nephew and he had a great time. I will be recommending this to everyone I know that visits the city. |

| Well, What can I say.
I am a hip hop "head" from England and was well looking forward to this tour. Me and my girlfriend didn't really know what to expect but were going in the knowledge that we would see some sights that you wouldn't usually see doing usual tourist stuff, and also learn new stuff about Hip Hop. We were'nt disappointed.
From start to finish everything about the tour was first class, the way it was run (Hush Tours Stand Up!!!!) company on the coach, the importance and general knowledge learnt from every site, the amount of time taken to explain where we were and how relevant the sites were and just the general overall feel of everything involved in the day.
As i said Hush Tours were brilliant in every aspect of the day, and the whole tour for me (and my girlfriend) exceeded our expectations, however special mention needs to go to our tour guide on the day, the amazing JDL (Jerry Dee Lewis) form the pioneering Cold Crush Brothers. He was on point everywhere he took us, describing everything brilliantly and telling us his experiences and insights and what it was like back in the day. His passion and love of Hip Hop was apparent (obviously he was there, and had a big part to play) and it felt like he was loving this as much as we were. He was the perfect tour guide, always willing to answer questions and also willing to have a photo taken. Good lookin' JD!!!
Overall, I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone. If you are well into your hip hop, you will fully appreciate everything here (and going to 1520 Sedgewick and meeting a legend is worth it anyway!!!)
If you're slightly into hip hop, you get to see where it all started and learn more about the culture from a legend who was there.
If you're not into hip hop (why not!? Only kidding!!) this is a chance to not only learn about the essence of an important component of not only American, but also Popular Culture, but also to see parts of New York that you wouldn't neccesarily have otherwise seen, with a great group of people, an excellent tour guide and a well organised friendly company.
What are you waiting for....see where it started and where its at!!!!! |

| My husband is a big hip hop fan & I went along for the ride! But this was great for both of us - he was able to ask questions about things he already knew aswell as finding out new things & getting to see legendary hip hop sites, & I was able to get an understanding of some of the background to hip hop culture.
It was also a great way to see some different parts of new york. |
