| It was very informative and at the same time lively - it was nice to get to know the narrators on a personal level. We got to see every hidden corner of Harlem and the true roots of hip hop which made you really appreciate it to it's fullest and get behind the whole movement. Lunch is fantastic! I didnt feel like I needed to eat again for a whole week, the food was that good - real soul food! Stops on the tour included the Graffiti Hall of Fame which oozed vibrance and character, Rucker Park where a few of us shot hoops!,The Walk of fame in the Bronx...awesome. Interaction was great and everyone was involved. Definately is a must do if visiting New York. |

| This tour was exactly what I needed from my first NY visit. Being that I'm from Los Angeles and grew up in Watts/Compton/South Central and being able to witness the growth of Hip Hop on the west coast, your tour was exactly what I need to balance out my experience. I would have never knew where to start looking had I tried to go and find these spots on my own. Props due and given for giving me a broader vision and deeper respect for how hip hop has grown from Sedgwick and Cedar. Your tour was the highlight of my visit. Peace.

| I enjoyed it a lot. Everyone went out of their way to be helpful. I was disappointed we didn't get into the graffiti place. It was a lot of fun.

| The Hip Hip Legends tour was excellent!
I was a little apprehensive before the tour, but there was no reason to worry - this is a 100% professionally organised tour, with safety and enjoyment at it's heart.
Everyone on our bus had varying degrees of knowledge about Hip Hop and where it all began, but the tour catered for everyone. Everyone who went on the tour came away learning something new (even those that lived through the early days in New York!)
This was solely down to the excellent Grandmaster Caz! He was the ultimate host - funny and factual, with an energy and enthusiasm that was infectious.
My highlight was the Graffiti Hall of Fame in Spanish Harlem (the main reason for me going on the tour), but there wasn't a dull moment.
Getting the opportunity to attempt to breakdance in Rucker Park or try some genuine Soul Food in Harlem. Seeing the venue of the first ever Hip Hop party - where it all began!
And above all, you get to be shown round by a real legend!
Thanks Hush Tours for a great day out - I will be back! |

| 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 would recommend this tour to any hip-hop enthusiast who is interested in learning more about the origins of the genre. Also a good chance to view the sights of Harlem and the Bronx, including the Apollo Theater and Rucker Park. The tour is probably a bit long, but that can be attributed to having to sit in NYC traffic. |

| You're in good hands with Grandmaster Caz as he shows you where hip-hop got its start at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, as well as other landmarks in Harlem and the Bronx. Caz was one of the pioneers of hip-hop in the Seventies , and he's got tons of great info and stories. Bring some extra money for the wide selection of CDs, including rare live performances from legends like Grandmaster Flash and Kurtis Blow. A great way to spend a Saturday in New York! |
