| The guy who lead the tour on Friday, October 31 was a faded out hip hop star,
he really didnot give much information on the subject. People on the bus seemed
to know more about the subject then he did. He kept getting off the subject. He
really needs to bone up on the subject. Aslo most people are not interested in
his personal political opinions. He really didn't make too much sense.
The raps he shared with us were good. But really I think he need to tell us moreabout the whole culture of HIP HOP.
Tour was not worth the price. |

| I would recommend this tour to any hip-hop enthusiast who is interested in learning more about the origins of the genre. Also a good chance to view the sights of Harlem and the Bronx, including the Apollo Theater and Rucker Park. The tour is probably a bit long, but that can be attributed to having to sit in NYC traffic. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| 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 |

| we would recommend this tour to everybody that has even a slight interest in music and especially hip hop and rap. It was very unique... And the ages that went on the tour were varied from 16 to 42.... And we all loved it! Raheim from grand master flash was incredible, insightful and inspiring! |

| I work in NYC and booked this tour when my 20-year old son came to visit. My son likes all music genres but is a big fan of hip hop music. He loved the tour - I think it was the high point of his trip to New York. I went along for the ride, but thoroughly enjoyed the venues, history and music. The 4-hour tour went by quickly. Grand Master Caz (Cold Crush Brothers) and Mighty Mike Cee (Fearless Four) were outstanding guides and did a great job with a very diverse tour group. I enthusiastically recommend this tour if you want to learn more about hip hop and the City neighborhoods where the culture arose. |
