| Basically Cas on a soapbox. If you already know what comprises Hip-Hop (style, grafitti, MC, and DJ) you'll be bored the first half of the tour. Make sure you eat breakfast because we didn't eat until 2:30 and the tour started at 11am. Definitely learned a lot about history and culture...great tour for kids and adults alike...I just wish someone had told me 1) this covers the BIRTH of hip-hop through 1981 (not clear on the web site), and 2) it's basically Grandmaster Cas telling his personal journey. It wouldn't have deterred me from going necessarily...I just might have chosen a different tour that featured another era I think. |

| I would highly recommend this tour for any serious hip hop head who respects the thought of learning the history/roots of something you love. Grandmaster Caz was great and koo to kick it with. He's very knowledgeable. Listen to his stories, take it all in, and just flow with the tour. You're visiting the Jerusalem of Hip Hop. To visit these actual spots after a lifetime of living/loving hip hop is amazing. Go to the tour you'll love 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. |

| The tour was great. My sister and I have been to New York a few times before but never got a chance to see the parts of NYC that we got to see on the tour, like the South Bronx and Rucker Park. Grandmaster Caz was our tour guide and did a great job of educating those that didn’t really know much about hip hop while keeping the others that did know a little something something interested too. Caz is definitely passionate about hip hop and the history of it; I can’t think of a better person to lead this tour.
If I could change anything, I would say that the bus could be upgraded |

| This tour was fun and I learned a tremendous amount not just about hip hop, but about boroughs that tourists normally don't visit. Gransmaster Caz was our tour guide and not only is he talented at all things hip hop, he's funny and really fun to hang out with throughout the tour! These guys really are the pioneers of hip hop so you get the ground floor story about the beginnings of hip hop. Did you know hip hop started with a party?!??! pretty sweet and you get to see where that party happened! |

| 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 |

| The Hip Hop tour is excellent. - really interesting and well thought out. It is a wonderful way to see parts of the city you might not otherwise and learn about a really interesting part of NYC history. Plus, it was great to see my husband doing break dancing moves. Thanks Hush Tours and GM Caz! |

| You're in good hands with Grandmaster Caz as he shows you where hip-hop got its start at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, as well as other landmarks in Harlem and the Bronx. Caz was one of the pioneers of hip-hop in the Seventies , and he's got tons of great info and stories. Bring some extra money for the wide selection of CDs, including rare live performances from legends like Grandmaster Flash and Kurtis Blow. A great way to spend a Saturday in New York! |
