| Even if you think you know everything there is to know about HipHop, you'll still learn from these guys. We were lucky enough to have Grandmaster Caz and Reggie Reg as our guides. We had such a good day stopping off at famous landmarks, learning all you need to know about the roots of Hip Hop and visiting Harlem and the Bronx.
Live entertainment too .....the lot in four hours!!! |

| The tour was an authentic one with wonderful tour guides (what's up Caz and Reg!!) that kept the tour exciting and fun. I got to see parts of NY that I otherwise would not have gone to, and got to learn the history and stories behind where it all started. The four hours that the tour lasted were just not enough. Nobody wanted it to end. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves hip hop, wants to learn about hip hop, or anybody that just wants to have a good time! |

Interesting but a bit superficial four hours.

| I can recommend this tour, but I have to say that I already knew most of the things the tourguide told us before. It's interesting but maybe not deep enough into HipHop culture. So if you want to know about it, read a book. |

| 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.

| I thought I knew all about the birth of hip hop, but it turns out I knew little to nothing. That's why I loved this tour; it was educational and entertaining. The vibe was laid back and fun. Our group was quite diverse; Japanese tourists, British hip hop fans, and even visitors from Montana. Our guide, Grand Master Kas, was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, funny, and most importantly, he kept it real.
I had a friend visiting me from Scotland, who also loved the tour. I would take any of my future out-of-town visitors on this tour, just so that I could go again! It really was that good.
Thank you Hush Tours! |

| The Hip Hop Tour was excellent and I recommend it to anyone that will be making a trip to New York. The tour provided you with an indebt history of not only Hip Hop, but the Black History of New York. Caz, our tour guide was excellent and enthusiastic. The Hip Hop tour was one of the major highlights of my trip. The additional members of my group stated that they were glad that I chose this tour as one of our activities.
We were also very lucky, because we were able, to tour the Apollo, which was not on our schedule, and there was also a gentlemen on the tour who conducts, some of the major tours of New York. Therefore we received some additional information on landmarks, great places to shop, and locations on where to buy discount Broadway tickets.
I felt like for the money we paid, we received three tours in one, and it was well worth the money.
The only negative thing that I would say about the tour is lunch. I think that the website should state, that, "Although we do stop for lunch it is not included in the tour, and you must have cash."
Besides lunch, everything was great.
Thank You :)

| The Hip Hop tour was very knowledgeable, interesting and extermely fun. The comentator "CAZ" was the bomb and nontheless Deborah we really do appreciate you waiting on us due to the Dumb taxi driver. I will most definetly take the tour again. My people the tour is well worth your money not only is it fun it's a learning tour of our roots back in the day when Hip Hop started and you will also get a chance to see some memorable landmarks. Caz don't leave the hats at home next time!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha :) |

| Grandmaster Caz and Debra gave us more than we could ask for. We had a chance to be with one of the founders of hip hop and that in its self is priceless.
I will always remember Caz's passion and dedication to the art of Hip-Hop and I can't thank Debra enough for HUSH productions and her commitment to the experience.
Thank you! |

| OMG!! I absolutely loved it. I have been on MANY NYC tours and this was completely different. It was interesting, fun, interactive and educational. I currently live in Brooklyn and love when I have opportunities to see other parts of the city. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to hip-hop lovers and people who just want an exciting/different experience in NYC.
All of the landmarks were historical and the Graffiti Wall of Fame was amazing!!
Grandmaster Caz was the guide and what a lucky woman I was to have a forefather of Hip-Hop giving me a tour and history lesson. He was VERY funny and honest. And now I can't stop seeing him on every show and documentary of hip hop....He is even my MySpace picture right now :) |
