| Hi
I'd just like to thank the tour organisers and our guide for the day, Kurtis Blow! Due to the snow tour was delayed( understandable) but was well worth the wait for a very personal tour through hip hop culture from its humble beginnings.. great to get stories from one who was there 1st hand .. funny witty and very educational. You could tell all who are involved in the tour have put their heart and soul into the project. Very good that they keep it to small numbers ( 12 on my tour) - making it a very personal touch.
tour was ended by Kurtis freestyling on the coach back to manhattan... awesome. Was my 1st time in New York and this was definitely the highlight for me.. Recommend this to anyone who likes to delve into music culture and, anyone who just wants a tour a little bit different to the normal tourist trips! Well done one and all for a briliant tour - damn sure i will do it again on my return ---- Keep the vibe alive, peace

| I grew up in FL in a town that was almost 50% NYC transplants. My friends were almost entirely Inner City NY B-Boys. At 17 I finally made the journey to "mecca" aka NYC. I was able to see the borroughs that my crew crew up in. Brooklyn, Bronx, and Uptown.
After high school I did whatever I could to move to the city. It was a great experience. I grew up as a hip hop head and loved every bit of it. It seemed that after high school however, hip hop became too "Gangster". All the artists would talk about was who had the best cars, gear, and who could shoot the best. Hip hop had become too commercial for it's own good. I started to lose interest. For a long time, all I simply lived in the past playing all my old tracks.
The tour was very informative, it was cool to meet Reggie Reg and get first hand knowledge of the origins of hip hop. Reg was passsionate about the culture and was eager to share it with everyone.
I would reccomend this tour to all my old school crew. We grew up reading the source and rap pages and we had a lot of knowledge but no one can pull it all together like the crew that was there.
thanks!

| It was such a good day out. Plenty of information about everything hip hop delivered in a fun way. Reggie is really passionate about everything hip hop and this rubs off on the people on the tour. Lots of opportunities to ask questions and chat
There are also some fun surprises and I had a briliiant time even though I went on my own as my friends felt it was too 'hip hop' for them. They were wrong even if like Hip Hop but are not that knowledgeable about it you will still have a great time.

| My friend wanted to book this tour, and I was interested but worried that 4 hours would be too long. I was wrong -- the 4 hours flew by! Our tour guide was Reggie Reg from the Crash Crew, and he was very entertaining and knowledgable. I also loved the interactive nature of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone remotely interested in hip-hop! |

Wassup,
A review straight outta Amsterdamned! The hush tour was legendary and a lot of fun! A great honour to talk and eat with Caz and Reggie Reg. Inspiring, never forget it and will pass on the Hush Tour message! Big up.
Some postive critics to improve the tour:
- maybe an extra stop to look at a freestyle battle (beatbox, streetcorner)
- some more Hush-tour stuff (shirts, caps) for tourist to buy during tour
With love,
Ray & Pum |

| 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. |

| The tour was an authentic one with wonderful tour guides (what's up Caz and Reg!!) that kept the tour exciting and fun. I got to see parts of NY that I otherwise would not have gone to, and got to learn the history and stories behind where it all started. The four hours that the tour lasted were just not enough. Nobody wanted it to end. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves hip hop, wants to learn about hip hop, or anybody that just wants to have a good time! |

| The tour was great. Grandmaster was awesome and very enthusiastic. He provied lots of information. The organizer of the tour, Debbie (I think) was also very helpful and very nice. We had a great time. Lunch in Harlem was cool as we got to eat collard greens and black eyed peas. The only thing I would suggest is that if we could see more of the actual sites that Grandmaster Cass talked about--the actual block where some of the partys occurred, etc.
But, the tour was a blast and we have already recommended it to lots of friends, both who live in NYC and who don't.
