| I'd enjoyed the Tour very much...I learned a lot about the Hip Hop culture and I met Grandmaster Caz :) It's very interesting for all Hip Hop fans and also for people who don't know that much about Hip Hop. |

| Great day, very informative, very fun, and led by one of my childhood heros. I would highly recommend this tour to any hip hop enthusiast, of any age from any corner of the world. All the sights, all the history, and a wonderfully friendly team. Grand Master Caz was an absolute star. Thanks guys, i will remember this for years to come. |

| An excellent tour. Some how they manage to cater to everyone from Hip Hop fans to complete newbies. This really is more than a tour of famous sites and more of a trip for anyone that wants to get out of Manhattan and wants to see where (and how) the rest of New York lives. I took my 14 year old nephew and he had a great time. I will be recommending this to everyone I know that visits the city. |

| Went on this tour with my two sons aged 18 and 16 expecting just to go along for the ride. I was pleasantly surprised as Grandmaster Caz tok us all back to the days when hip-hop began. It was quite an education for all of us and I would recomend it highly to anyone with an interest in the roots of hip-hop and the new rap artists! |

| Grandmaster Caz proved that hip hop ain't dead, and if this tour continues, it probably will never die. We had to leave for Switzerland on that Saturday evening on the last day of our week long trip and looked forward to the tour ALL week.
We were not disappointed, from the start of the tour opening with the invincible Grandmaster Caz and crew rapping live on the bus right up to the cool ending of the Blackbirds "Rock Creek Park".
The hiphop bus crew had the whole setup running slick, fast and totally engrossing for the four hours, which just flew past.
We felt the history standing in the playgound where DJ Kool Hurk started the movement. We saw the once-scary streets of Harlem and the Bronx, which we never have visited alone (Great .... another typical European false stereotyping smashed!!)
Not too sure if my back will recover from the impromptu breakdance lesson, but my wife had a great laugh watching me try to follow the resident expert Mighty Mouse.
We'll treasure the experience as piece of the REAL New York. Peace ! |

| 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!

| A brilliant tour, I think me and my friends will all agree this is one of the best we have ever done and we've travelled all over the world. Grandmaster Caz was a trully great tour guide and to have someone who was there right at the birth of hip hop to show you round where it all started felt like a real privillege.
Was a great start to our holiday in New York and took us to areas we might not have otherwise gone to. |

| First off I was really excited about this tour way before it even began. It was also the clincher that brought myself and my friend - another hip hop fan from the early 80's (when it hit the UK in a massive way) over to New York, so I was hoping for a real insight into the roots of hip hop and I wasn't disappointed.
Grandmaster Caz is a legend. he lived and breathed hip hop from the very beginning, so I was made up to see him take our tour. He's also got a large personality and he's a funny entertaining guy, so there wasn't a dull moment on the tour and every single one of us were listening to his every word while occasionally asking him questions, which he was happy to answer.
He also dropped his rhymes live on the bus, so made it all feel very special.
I don't want to give anything away, but I highly recommend this tour if (like us) you lived through the scene and feel a strong bond to it .
You love the Beatles...... you go to Liverpool and take the tour.
You love Elvis...... you go to Gracelands.
You love hip hop. then you need to go to the birthplace of hip hop in New York and take the Hush Tour - with a legend of hip hop. |

| This tour provided me with so much history about how hip hop originated, where, and with whom. I would have loved to have seen some actual photographs of this--the first party, how people dressed, etc. "MASTER CASANOVA FLY" was outstanding, extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. So was "MADNESS". I also would have liked to have seen more people hip hop dancing. I loved visiting the building where the first hip hop party took place. I wanted to hear more about how hip hop has changed and what it is like today. I also wanted to know more about the message that the hip hop culture shares with the world. It was so inspiring to hear about how people who loved hip hop would do anything to get the chance to dance. It seems as though hip hop is a way of life. |

| i thought it was a fantastic tour with a true legend who knows and was part of
hip hop history, the only downside was the school where the grafitti hall of fame
is was closed. apart from that it was well worth it !!! |
