| Laughed, learned, participated and had 4 of the most interesting hours i've ever had in my time on this planet so far.
Amazing hosts...sites and history all rolled into 1. Highly recommended even if you dont have an interest in the culture, because when you step off the bus at the end you will do !
Thanks Hush |

| Grandmaster Caz proved that hip hop ain't dead, and if this tour continues, it probably will never die. We had to leave for Switzerland on that Saturday evening on the last day of our week long trip and looked forward to the tour ALL week.
We were not disappointed, from the start of the tour opening with the invincible Grandmaster Caz and crew rapping live on the bus right up to the cool ending of the Blackbirds "Rock Creek Park".
The hiphop bus crew had the whole setup running slick, fast and totally engrossing for the four hours, which just flew past.
We felt the history standing in the playgound where DJ Kool Hurk started the movement. We saw the once-scary streets of Harlem and the Bronx, which we never have visited alone (Great .... another typical European false stereotyping smashed!!)
Not too sure if my back will recover from the impromptu breakdance lesson, but my wife had a great laugh watching me try to follow the resident expert Mighty Mouse.
We'll treasure the experience as piece of the REAL New York. Peace ! |

| The tour was good fun and I thought first of all that my son would enjoy it more than me but that was not the case. I really enjoyed listening to the histoy of Hip-Hop and it's roots. The soul food was fab too! |

| I'm going home to look up details on the whole genre .. names in my memory coming back to me....exciting to be shown round by Mr. Blow, I looked him up on the internet and realised how pioneering he was and what he stands for now.
and that restaurant was unexpected and just right. Our 10 year old has started making up rhymes
A really good, memorable tourist experience, thanks |

| it was good to see many spots that you've heard about over the years in different songs and interviews, graffiti hall of fame was a nice stop off, visiting the building that hip-hop started in will always stay in my mind, recommend this to anyone involved in the culture or for anyone wanting to learn more about it, caz was a great tour guide |

All the rest is perfect, long live Hip Hop! |

| Having been to New York City many times, I would have to say that the Hip Hop Tour Led by the Pioneering Legends of Rap was one of the most enjoyable, interesting and authentic experience I've ever had there. The guides were engaging, passionate and excellent and both my 19 year old son and myself thouroughly had a blast. In fact, it was the only part of our 3 day N.Y. trip we kept talking about days afterwards.
Thanks to Debra the organizer, Grand Master Caz , JDL, and Puerto Rico. A good time was had by all. |
