| I am not into Hip Hop at all. I took this tour with 3 teenagers because they wanted to take it. I came away with a different point of view. I have so much more respect for the original Hip Hop artists!!!!! WOW. I was blown away! Very professional and amazing! Thank you! The best tour I have ever taken |

| 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. |

| It was a good guide around the town Hip Hop wise, Grandmaster Caz was perfect as a guide through the history of Hip Hop. He's a real entertainer and the perfect man for this type of activity. Nothing but thumbs up for The Hush Hip Hop Tour. |

| You are not going to get a more authentic tour in New York. Even though I grew up in the second generation of hip-hop it was a great history lesson not only of hip-hop but of New York as well. The tour guide did a great job of giving in depth first person information with regards to hip-hop - I would highly recommend this tour. |

| 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 will thoroughly recommend the Hip Hop tour I enjoyed along with 7 others last Friday.
Grande Master Caz was a thorough treat to be with for the three hours. He made us all feel very welcome and taught us so much about the social history of New York. We were able to ask questions and to see places we would not normally have seen and put it all into the context of the era and the phenomenon of Hip Hop . He also performed for us . It was the highlight of my trip to the US, Thanks
and the food was great too ! |

| 'Tour leader' was very knowledgeable and able to answer all the questions put to him. Covered a large area of New York and saw a number of sights en route to the following destination. Highly recommended for hip hop enthusiasts (especially fans of old school hip hop) |

| It was great to have Grandmaster Caz, someone who was around at the time, tell us all about the birth of Hip Hop, and visit locations where it happened, as well as other great experiences every Hip Hop fan would love. There was a guy on the tour who came for the second time, and I'm thinking next time I'm in New York, I will too! |
