| This tour was very informative, even for someone who considers themselves to have alot of knowledge about the origins of Hip-Hop (which I do) Caz is a phenomenal tour guide, funny, passionate, engaging...the tour itself is well paced and takes you to the spots you would want to see...lunch was brilliant! Caz's performance and his explanation of the "Hank" situation was a personal highlight for me...also Caz talking about how the city only revitalises areas for the next people who move in, was another of many keen insights...this was brilliant, the best thing I did in NYC...I did the loop with t-shirt and cd included with the tour...I can report that both the cd and t-shirt are dope and worth the extra money...miss this tour at your peril....

| It was a good guide around the town Hip Hop wise, Grandmaster Caz was perfect as a guide through the history of Hip Hop. He's a real entertainer and the perfect man for this type of activity. Nothing but thumbs up for The Hush Hip Hop Tour. |

| Me and four friends were lucky to participate in the Hushtours last Saturday.
Grandmaster Caz gave insight in the whole history of hiphop.
The atmosphere was very good. Relaxed. It was really fun.
I will definitely book another tour with Hushtours.

| Well, What can I say.
I am a hip hop "head" from England and was well looking forward to this tour. Me and my girlfriend didn't really know what to expect but were going in the knowledge that we would see some sights that you wouldn't usually see doing usual tourist stuff, and also learn new stuff about Hip Hop. We were'nt disappointed.
From start to finish everything about the tour was first class, the way it was run (Hush Tours Stand Up!!!!) company on the coach, the importance and general knowledge learnt from every site, the amount of time taken to explain where we were and how relevant the sites were and just the general overall feel of everything involved in the day.
As i said Hush Tours were brilliant in every aspect of the day, and the whole tour for me (and my girlfriend) exceeded our expectations, however special mention needs to go to our tour guide on the day, the amazing JDL (Jerry Dee Lewis) form the pioneering Cold Crush Brothers. He was on point everywhere he took us, describing everything brilliantly and telling us his experiences and insights and what it was like back in the day. His passion and love of Hip Hop was apparent (obviously he was there, and had a big part to play) and it felt like he was loving this as much as we were. He was the perfect tour guide, always willing to answer questions and also willing to have a photo taken. Good lookin' JD!!!
Overall, I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone. If you are well into your hip hop, you will fully appreciate everything here (and going to 1520 Sedgewick and meeting a legend is worth it anyway!!!)
If you're slightly into hip hop, you get to see where it all started and learn more about the culture from a legend who was there.
If you're not into hip hop (why not!? Only kidding!!) this is a chance to not only learn about the essence of an important component of not only American, but also Popular Culture, but also to see parts of New York that you wouldn't neccesarily have otherwise seen, with a great group of people, an excellent tour guide and a well organised friendly company.
What are you waiting for....see where it started and where its at!!!!! |

| My husband is a big hip hop fan & I went along for the ride! But this was great for both of us - he was able to ask questions about things he already knew aswell as finding out new things & getting to see legendary hip hop sites, & I was able to get an understanding of some of the background to hip hop culture.
It was also a great way to see some different parts of new york. |

A must for all the "real" Hip-Hop fans

| You just feel that you have seen a real important part of the history that has effected millions and that you have just become a part of it. Great tour, recommended highly. |
