| 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!!!!!!!

| I enjoyed it a lot. Everyone went out of their way to be helpful. I was disappointed we didn't get into the graffiti place. It was a lot of fun.

| We were 2 adults and 2 teenage boys( 13 and 15) with a limited knowledge of hip hop. It was the perfect activity to please eveyone and took us to places that we never would have visited otherwise. We were very excited to meet Rahim! He was a great guide : informative, entertaining and just a really nice guy. Good lunch. We all loved it - a great day which I would thoroughly recommend. |

| we were in NY for 1 week with my husband's 2 teenaged brothers. my husband and i are both in our late 20s. this tour was really great. i love music and listen mostly to rock and alternative. so getting informed about hip hop history and culture was quite a treat! this tour is good for all ages, there were grandparent-y types in our tour too who enjoyed it. our tour guide was engaging and he even performed a few rap songs in the end of the tour. it makes me appreciate rap as poetry and not some mindless recitation of words. to top it all off, the soul food lunch we had was awesome. the 2 teenagers we were with said it was the best meal we had in our whole trip! it's really a good tour to join if you have time. it beats joining typical touristy double-decker tours since you get exposed to the other side of new york. |

| It was great to meet a legend Grandmaster Caz, he was very enthusiastic, entertaining and had a vast insight to the history of Hip Hop. It was good to visit places like Bronx and Harlem which as tourist you are generally put off visiting. This tour made you feel quite safe going to these areas and highlighted the transformation that has taken place. Time flew by on the tour and you felt like you wanted it to last longer. Our 9 year old daughter and 5 year old son really enjoyed it; their best part was wearing the bling and the kangol hats. Visiting Rucker Park & the Graffiti Hall Of Fame was of special interest to my husband. For my 19 year old nephew, the soul food at the restaurant was the highlight of the tour. Great value for money and would recommend it to anyone visiting NYC with an interest in Hip Hop.

| A delightful tour that really captures the flavour of the early days of hip hop. All first hand experience - you can't get this stuff any other way. My 16 year old and I had a great time. |

| Our family which included parents in their 40's and our three teenagers had been to
New York several times and try to do something different each time we visit the city.
We are from the Midwest. Found the Hip Hop tour while visiting a New York City website with a link to "Teen Scene in NYC". All of us thoroughly enjoyed the hip hop tour. The history, sightseeing around Harlem, the soul food lunch, the historical stops the tour made and of course our host, Master Caz right on the bus jammin was very cool.
Our teenagers did not know what to expect and absolutely loved the tour and the time
flew by! To be honest, us parents really didn't know much about the origin of the hip hop movement and it was fascinating and entertaining. Highly recommended for anyone who likes adventures a bit out of the box. |

| Fun and different tour where I learned alot about Hip Hop culture and shared the experience with my 19 yr. old son. It was interesting to see and hear about other parts of New York since my tourist experiences have been pretty much limited to Manhatten - theatre, dance, restaurants and shopping.
Grand Master Caz was charming, engaging and informative. Even the range of diversity of the other tour goers was interesting. I thought the tour was well organized although could maybe be compressed into a little shorter time span, but maybe not considering the miles covered.
I would particularly recommend this tour to families with children ages 12 and older since it is more challenging to find activites that both parents and teenagers can enjoy together.
Lunch was great! |
