| Being a fan of Hip-Hop from the early 80s to todays different sound this tour was a true experience of Hip-Hop culture which defined and still defines New York City. Travelling to the birthplace of Hip-Hop The Bronx as well as Harlem our tour guide 'Reggie Reg' gave all the info anyone who was unaware of what 'Hip-Hop culture' was all about. Knowing my Hip-Hop history it was great to visit The Graffiti Hall of Fame, Rucker Park and other places of Hip-Hop relevence which you wouldn't normally find on that New York tourist map!.
Whether you are a Hip-Hop historian or a novice Hush tours can deliver the info and experience like no other. Massive shout out to Reggie Reg of The Crash Crew , Madness and of course Debra.

| it was good to see many spots that you've heard about over the years in different songs and interviews, graffiti hall of fame was a nice stop off, visiting the building that hip-hop started in will always stay in my mind, recommend this to anyone involved in the culture or for anyone wanting to learn more about it, caz was a great tour guide |

| 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! |

| All I can say is this was the best tour I have been on!!! Our guide was Grandmaster Caz....what more do I have to say??!!! Caz was cool, down to earth, entertaining and informative. Even with the hectic traffic and detours due to the Mets/Yank game we still enjoyed ourselves completely. Also helping guide was Madness....he was bananas!!! Loved every bit of it. Lunch set it off too...delicious!! This was a wonderful way to bring our vacation to an end!!
Much Luv,

| I'm going home to look up details on the whole genre .. names in my memory coming back to me....exciting to be shown round by Mr. Blow, I looked him up on the internet and realised how pioneering he was and what he stands for now.
and that restaurant was unexpected and just right. Our 10 year old has started making up rhymes
A really good, memorable tourist experience, thanks |

| This is a TOP NOTCH tour! It was very organized, well planned and ON TIME!!!! We were fortunate to have Kurtis Blow and Reggie Reg. They are knowledgeable and passionate about Hip Hop Culture which made the tour truly worthwhile. Although my husband and I experienced the Hip Hop movement first hand, our 11 year old son did not. We feel that it's important for him to learn history and he did. We all enjoyed it!!! The lunch was great, the group was small and overall if you're a fan of Old School this tour is not to be missed!!!!!!!

| The tour was great. Grandmaster was awesome and very enthusiastic. He provied lots of information. The organizer of the tour, Debbie (I think) was also very helpful and very nice. We had a great time. Lunch in Harlem was cool as we got to eat collard greens and black eyed peas. The only thing I would suggest is that if we could see more of the actual sites that Grandmaster Cass talked about--the actual block where some of the partys occurred, etc.
But, the tour was a blast and we have already recommended it to lots of friends, both who live in NYC and who don't.
