| One gets an overview of the early history of hip-hop. The guides are very friendly and interact a lot with people. I would have wished more stops and more music in the bus, though. The food was excellent. |

| Universally excellent - anyone who cares for hip hop enough to see past the cristal and the grills needs to spend an afternoon with Caz and his memories.. goes a long way to pass on some much needed cultural pride re this phenomenon.
What Debra is doing is worth everyone with a beat in their soul's attention - the outreach to the NYC community is also to be commended.. make it a stop on your NYC visit..
oh and Mannas chicken is the s***!

| Coming from London, and listening to hip hop for well over a decade now, we really wanted to see all the places it originated from. This tour gave us a great insight into how it got started and we could picture the scenes of the early days due to a great running commentary as we passed these places on our tour bus. These guys know what they are talking about, and tell you in an amusing and inspiring way.
The graffiti hall of fame was a highlight for me, as I had always wanted to see this.
The food in the restaurant was lovely and gave us a great chance to chat to our fellow hip hoppers on the tour.
All in all we really recommend it, and when we come back to New York, will be taking the other tours available. We cant wait to return!!! |

| The tour guide was very energetic & passionate about what he was doing & did his best to answer questions throughout the tour. Eating in Harlem was a good experience to get a feel of the place, the experience could have been enriched if this part of the tour was combined with a mini walking tour taking in Spanish Harlem aswell. The Bronx part of the tour didnt really explore the area in the same way as the Harlem part but the breakdancing part of it was good & getting some of the tour party involved in the dancing & MC ing on the bus was good. Maybe an oppurtunity to try some scratching would have been good.
Overall goodee good tour, but dont expect too much in the 4hrs & you shouldnt be dissspointed. The tour guide was good but maybe if he was a little more open-minded about the different contributions made by different artists rather than his view then this would have been nice.

| I am a 32 year old B Boy from England, my whole reason to go to NYC was to see first hand where Hip Hop began.
When i found out about the tour online, i thought yeah right like im going to meet a real pioneer....well how wrong was i!.
We found the meeting place easy, Debbie was really nice to meet, the group was a mixture of races ages and religions-the way real hip hop is.
When our guide arrived i was shocked to meet the one and only "Grandmaster Caz" from the hip hop legendary group the "Cold Crush Brothers".
I was shocked after seeing him on tv, movies and listening to his music for over 25 years of my life-there he was in front of me!!!! this guy is a legend no doubt, he really broke it down for everyone and explained in a fun way about hip hop-he really is such a nice person who answered all the questions even my annoying show of hands as i knew the answers to so many of his questions!!!.
The whole tour really did make my holiday to NYC complete and i would like to thank Caz and Debbie for that.
No matter if you know everything or nothing about Hip hop go and see a true master at work....i recommend this tour 110% for anyone.
Real Hip hop lives on!. |

| We were 2 adults and 2 teenage boys( 13 and 15) with a limited knowledge of hip hop. It was the perfect activity to please eveyone and took us to places that we never would have visited otherwise. We were very excited to meet Rahim! He was a great guide : informative, entertaining and just a really nice guy. Good lunch. We all loved it - a great day which I would thoroughly recommend. |
