| i am originally from NJ and now live with my wife and 3 sons in Nebraska and saw this on the internent when looking for things to do on our trip to New York. This ws one of the best things we had dome on our trip. Grandmaster Caz was great and very informative. The tour was exactly what I had hoped ot would be and more. I highly recommend this for anyone who would like to see sights throughout NY that you would normally not see and the background of Hip Hop. I opnly wish we could have taken another one of the tours they have as well. WELL WORTH IT!!!!!!! |

| We had a great time. We are a family of four. Two adults and a 22 and 16 year old. We all had a great time. We learned , we laughed, we ate and we took a lot of pictures. It is safe and worth the money. It is the next step beyond the tourist traps.
Good Luck

| The guy (grandmastercash...or something) was a sort of celebrity in new york's hip hop world. He knew lots of rappers and lots of significant places and he was funy too! There was a nice and relaxed atmosphere in the bus and there was also some cool old school rap.
The cons are: The bus was old and without air conditioning. They sold to many tickets so that there wasnt enough space for all of us. At the end of the tour we all stopped in a restaurant/take away......crowded, dirty and, because we were running out of time, we had to eat in the boiling hot bus!
In the end the tour made a good impression...try it! |

| Really enjoyed the tour. Grandmaster Caz is amazing and very entertaining with his stories and experiences. He definitely exudes sincerity about hip hop culture. I come to New York often, but saw some places I've been meaning to check out. Now, I'll definitely go on my own. The lunch spot (Jacob's Restaurant) was an excellent choice. Thanks for a very entertaining tour. |

| Grand Master Caz was our host for this day tour...Very informative and a great deal of knowledge - as to be expected.
I grew up in the Bronx in the early days of hip hop (mid 70s) -- (in the bronx - near cratona park). Of course - it was not called hip hop at that time.
I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to connect with the origin and learn more about the roots of hip hop.
Grand Master Caz made this tour fun, provided a good deal of knowledge - Thanks.
Thanks,
Jose |

| Grand Master Caz is a very interesting man who is part of the Hip Hop culture from its earliest days back in the 1970's.
He gave us a fascinating insight into the roots and the pillars of the Hip Hop culture and took us on a tour of parts of New York we would otherwise not have seen. He is not just a tour guide, he is genuinely an important part of the Hip Hop scene.
I would recommend this tour for anyone with an interest in Hip Hop and for any family on holiday in New York with teenage kids. |

| My family and I enjoyed this tour so much we look forward to our next family vacation to New York so we can enjoy some of the other ones Hush Tours provides. Grandmaster Caz was the icing on the cake for a unforgettable hip-hop tour like this. Being one of the pioneers of hip-hop, Grandmaster Caz's knowledge and real life experiences exuded his love of the culture in his interaction with the people on the tour bus. He provided a great setting for all walks of life regardless if you knew a thing about hip-hop or who the people he was telling you about. Stopping at some of the starting points and corner stones of hip-hops heartbeat was educational and exhilerating. To be somewhere where great things were created and shared with many generations was inspiring and moving. The Graffiti Wall of Fame and The Bronx Walk of Fame were some of the great highlights of the tour, as was 1520 Sedgwick Ave. We recommend this tour for those who love hip-hop or anyone who wants to learn more about it. |

| It was something I could enjoy with my children. I enjoyed the on/off bus breaks... Participant involvement was a nice touch. I especially enjoyed the stop by the Nike tribute to Men's Basketball while in Harlem. My children who are bb enthusiasts also enjoyed that quick break. Caz was entertaining; as well as a turn off. The group and their questions also add to the tour, along with attendee’s personal experiences. I would do the tour again with a new group. It would be good at the beginning of one’s visit to NYC to set the tone for other excursions while in NYC. Lunch was the best food I had while in NYC, with much variety; being a diabetic I appreciated the lunch stop. A give-a-way would add to the tour! |
