| Being a fan of Hip-Hop from the early 80s to todays different sound this tour was a true experience of Hip-Hop culture which defined and still defines New York City. Travelling to the birthplace of Hip-Hop The Bronx as well as Harlem our tour guide 'Reggie Reg' gave all the info anyone who was unaware of what 'Hip-Hop culture' was all about. Knowing my Hip-Hop history it was great to visit The Graffiti Hall of Fame, Rucker Park and other places of Hip-Hop relevence which you wouldn't normally find on that New York tourist map!.
Whether you are a Hip-Hop historian or a novice Hush tours can deliver the info and experience like no other. Massive shout out to Reggie Reg of The Crash Crew , Madness and of course Debra.

| hip-hop 101 on the bus, passing landmarks and stopping off to see graffiti hall of fame, break dancing and other important spots. the stop in harlem is especially good (soul food restaurant, too). bronx was only a brief drive-thru, but i guess it's important to at least go there. what makes this tour good is that it's led by an early hip-hop artist, in this case grandmaster caz, who was very entertaining. |

| I really liked the tour. Being guided through some of the most important places in hiphop history by one of its first minute participants was certainly an experience not to be missed. I appreciated the stories and the vast knowledge and personal experiences they were based on. Grandmaster Caz entertained us well, and I am sure we all learned a lot.
However, the real tour was over after 2 1/2 hours. Although lunch was excellent, I wished we would have visited a few more places - I am sure there are more than the ones we have seen.
Overall, the concept and its realization worked very much to my satisfaction, and I would recommend going on the tour. |

| It was awesome. Caz a true legend in the game, much respect, keep on represent NY, Bronx that is my defenition off hip hop as a 35 year old male from Copenhagen, Denmark. This culture has been my great joy in life since 1985, i was 13 years old when i for the first time on danish TV saw the acrobatic dance from the streets of NY. Since that i was hooked. Though I am getting older i still go to jams, concerts and sometimes on a club called Hip Hop Kontoret (The Hip Hop office). This culture has giving me so much, and are much more than MTV. I can only recommend Hush tours, even iff you are not interested in the culture of Hip Hop, it is still a big history off New York. Hope to come back soon. I am out. NaS is here in Copenhagen 31. may 2007, and over here in europe we are going to show him Hip Hop is not dead, she is here to stay. Hell yeah!!! |

| Pros:
- Grandmaster Caz really knows what he's talking about
- Caz brings you back in the late 70ies when all began
- You'll get an impression why and how they started to create their own thing called hiphop
- You'll get out of Manhattan, into Harlem and Bronx
- You'll get to know the real story behind the Sugarhill Gang
- You'll spend a nice afternoon worth every single dime you spent
Cons:
- You move around and see many places, but of course it's not the same like when you're visiting old Egypt. New York changed in the last years. You'll see graffitys but of course you won't see the original ones.
- You don't go to deep into the real Bronx
Once again, it's been a great tour, we enjoyed every single minute!!

| Everyone tell's you all the things you have to do when going to NYC. Well, this is one of them it's just a shame not many people know about it! The tour was superb, informative and entertaining and relevant to both hip-hop fanatics and novices alike. Grandmaster Caz was quality from start to finish. We heard some great stories, had some great food, saw some great sites and were lucky enough to witness Caz perform first hand! If you want to do something completely different from the usual tourist stuff then make sure you do this!!! |

| Quite simply the highlight of me and DJ Prin-ce's four day visit to NYC from the UK. It surpassed my expectations in terms of the depth of knowledge and love for the roots of Hip Hop from the Hush Tours team, but especially the guide Grandmaster Caz. I thought I knew something about Hip Hop, but soon realised that I didn't know a lot...and still have a lot to learn. Quite simply, this Hip Hop tour is an essential part of your visit to NYC regardless of whether you are into Hip Hop culture or not. Respect to the four elements of Hip Hop...Peace!
