| I really really enjoyed the Hip Hop Tour. Grandmaster Caz was AMAZING! It was the first time I'd heard about the start of Hip Hop and the tour really gave me an amazing insight into the history. I wish we'd had longer!!! Lunch stop was great - lovely food, great variety. I was extremely impressed with the tour and everyone involved in the day. Thank you all very much. Kind regards

| Excellent and entertaining tour. Great fun, informative and done with great humour.
Bought 6 of Grandmaster Caz's CDs and NONE work on any cd player I have tried so far. It it because I live in Scotland, and we are backward? I think not! $55 wasted!
Tour highly recomended - just don't buy the CDs!

| The tour was excellent. Caz is an amazing tourguide, providing you indepth information on how hiphop got started mixing it with a good dosis of humor. It's a true honor to have been able to hear this all from one of the great pioneers of hiphop. I just got back to the Netherlands (my home country) and this experience left with me with a unique story to tell of my own. |

| The tour guides were excellent and gave a lot of background detail (Debbie and GM Caz). They always gave us enough time to look at the stop offs and take photos and also ask questions. You get to see a lot in the 4 hours without feeling rushed. The restuarant where we stopped for food was out of this world. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. This is the 2nd time I have done this tour and each time has been slightly different. |

| The 3 of us who went along on the tour were pretty well schooled on the origins of hip hop, but no matter how much you think you know, this tour is absolutely worth it! It was such an inspiring tour, we definately left feeling re invigorated and inspired, cannot recommend this tour enough!!! And that Soul Food was damn good too! Thanks for such a memorable day :o) |

| I have never been very interested in Hip-Hop, but my husband has been brought up on the music, so I booked this for him.
What a great excursion this was. We both thouroughly enjoyed it, learning about where it all started from someone who was there at the beginning.
This is a MUST DO TRIP. There was a mixture of ages and nationalities and every one all seemed to enjoy it.
It also gave us a chance to see a part of Harlem and the Bronx which we may not have ventured into before, being tourists in a different country.
All in all it was a great day.

| My son is an aspiring hip hop DJ and he has brought this music form to me by our attending concerts and other hip hop related events the past few years. So participating in the Hip Hop Tour in NYC was a "must see" for him and turned out to be one of the best things we did during our visit.
The tour was well run and well organized and led by a very gifted tour guide/storyteller/legend of hip hop Grandmaster Caz. Caz brought the story of the history of hip hop to life with his enthusiasm, humor and engaging rapport with the participants.
The tour itself brought us to parts of NY that few tourist visit- Harlem, Spanish Harlem, the Bronx, but it was Caz' relaying of the importance of each area to the creation of the hip hop culture that made visiting these sites relevant and enjoyable.
Grandmaster Caz emphatically made it known to the group that hip hop is alive on the streets of NYC, and demonstrated that when we made an impromptu stop to watch and cheer on a group of break dancers near Central Park.
As we were heading back near the end of the tour, Caz was rapping and had all of us into it- clapping and moving to the beat and his words. We pulled up alongside a city bus and an older woman could not believe what she was seeing and hearing on the tour bus next to her- eventually smiling and waving her approval.
Don't hesitate to take part in this unique New York experience. |

| I had a blast on this tour. It took me around NYC to places that I hadn't been, harlem and the bronx. Grandmaster Caz was an awesome guide, friendly and full of knowledge. We saw a b boy do some dancing for us, the graffiti hall of fame, the place of the first hip hop party, etc. |
