| We enjoyed the tour very much and choose it because of my son who just turned 16, he had the most interest in it, me having the second most interest in the tour. I think it was informational fun and we all learned something, it was great going thru the city and stoping at different points. I think it was a great day had by all, thanks!!! |

| While you're patiently waiting for the time machine to be invented, the Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers of Rap is the only way you can experience hip-hop history first hand! Being in NYC and not hopping on the Hush Tour bus is like going to Florence and not going to see the Uffizi! If you are a hip-hop fan, or are just curious, just DO NOT miss it! |

| Really enjoyed Caz telling stories about the early days of hip hop! Great to meet Curtis Blow at the soulfood restaurant. I also liked the way Caz involved the group.
Suggestions for improvement:
- more historical facts about hip hop (a handout and/or tipps for literature would have been great)
- more illustration material (photos, books, film)
- tipps for current hip hop clubs as well as record and other stores
- an outlook on current hip hop trends
These are just some ideas : )
Thank you and all the best,

| Me and four friends were lucky to participate in the Hushtours last Saturday.
Grandmaster Caz gave insight in the whole history of hiphop.
The atmosphere was very good. Relaxed. It was really fun.
I will definitely book another tour with Hushtours.

| we would recommend this tour to everybody that has even a slight interest in music and especially hip hop and rap. It was very unique... And the ages that went on the tour were varied from 16 to 42.... And we all loved it! Raheim from grand master flash was incredible, insightful and inspiring! |

| Travelled from the Liverpool in the UK to New York and this was the one tour that would let me see some of New York that you wouldnt see on the normal tourist trips. Also, being a big hip hop and electro fan, I just knew that this tour would not disappoint, especially with originals from the furious five and fearless 4 with us hosting the tour.
The tour was absolutely brilliant. I think the best for me was actually visiting the location where DJ Kool Herc first laid down his first set - the beginning of it all. I felt absolutely honoured to be in the presence of the pioneers from Hip Hop and to hear their stories and see the love they still have for something that happened so long ago.
If you are a fan of music and want to learn something of a culture that is as much a part of New York as the Empire State Building then I recommend this tour to you. There are some major historical landmarks which New York and America need to recognise for their effects on music and culture throughout the world. |
