| This tour was one of the highlights of our honeymoon in New York. Our tour guide, grand master Caz with his big personality and his legendary status within the realms of Hip hop made this tour interesting, fun and equally accessible to those with an interest in the music and those with little or no knowledge. The tour takes you through Harlem and the Bronx, both areas that have to be experienced if you want to get a real flavour of the city . Overall, this 4 hour tour is packed with historical information about hip hop with visits to significant sites, guided by a legend who shares his incredible memories and experiences of the birth of the music. It was a true priviledge to be in his company and we left feeling that it was the real deal. We would like to extend a big thanks to Hush tours for providing what has been an excellent experience. |

| Basically Cas on a soapbox. If you already know what comprises Hip-Hop (style, grafitti, MC, and DJ) you'll be bored the first half of the tour. Make sure you eat breakfast because we didn't eat until 2:30 and the tour started at 11am. Definitely learned a lot about history and culture...great tour for kids and adults alike...I just wish someone had told me 1) this covers the BIRTH of hip-hop through 1981 (not clear on the web site), and 2) it's basically Grandmaster Cas telling his personal journey. It wouldn't have deterred me from going necessarily...I just might have chosen a different tour that featured another era I think. |

| The Hip Hop tour is excellent. - really interesting and well thought out. It is a wonderful way to see parts of the city you might not otherwise and learn about a really interesting part of NYC history. Plus, it was great to see my husband doing break dancing moves. Thanks Hush Tours and GM Caz! |

| My intentions for participating on this tour were to expose my family to everything that I always talked about and to put visuals with stories I'd heard or things I'd read. I didn't actually expect to learn very many new things, but I learned SO much. My mother (in her sixties) enjoyed everything also. Although, she wasn't raised in a community where hip hop was, she understood the stories of the discos and the funk and the jazz that contributed to hip hop. She also learned quite a bit about the culture. Being in North Carolina and only hearing radio rap, the tour opened her eyes to many more aspects of hip hop. My sister also went. She enjoyed everything quite a bit and learned a lot. She absorbed more of the graffiti art/breakdancing elements and on this tour, there was a lot directed towards the two. Grandmaster Caz is a phenomenal person and I would recommend this for anyone. There's so much that everyone can get out of it. |

| My husband is a big hip hop fan & I went along for the ride! But this was great for both of us - he was able to ask questions about things he already knew aswell as finding out new things & getting to see legendary hip hop sites, & I was able to get an understanding of some of the background to hip hop culture.
It was also a great way to see some different parts of new york. |

| Excellent tour, excellent guides, great value.
I've toured the spiritual home of Opera [La Scala in Milan (Italy)] and been to the home of Ballet [Mariinsky in St. Petersburg (Russia)] ... the hip-hop tour of NYC is much more moving and a better experience ! |

| This trip with its information and especially with the explanations from Caz Fly was surely one of the best things of our 5ht New York trip and we strongly recommend it for all people who are interested in HipHop. All the stops were interesting and we also loved the food and the CDs we bought. We really had a lot of fun. Back home we listened to our old vinyl records and found one "Wild style" with Grandmaster Caz, is this Caz Fly?
