| We enjoyed the tour very much and choose it because of my son who just turned 16, he had the most interest in it, me having the second most interest in the tour. I think it was informational fun and we all learned something, it was great going thru the city and stoping at different points. I think it was a great day had by all, thanks!!! |

| It was such a good day out. Plenty of information about everything hip hop delivered in a fun way. Reggie is really passionate about everything hip hop and this rubs off on the people on the tour. Lots of opportunities to ask questions and chat
There are also some fun surprises and I had a briliiant time even though I went on my own as my friends felt it was too 'hip hop' for them. They were wrong even if like Hip Hop but are not that knowledgeable about it you will still have a great time.

| One of the friendliest and enjoyable tours I've been on. An informative and entertaining trip. Got to meet some of the legends of early hip-hop who gave a unique personalised view of the roots of hip hop. Would highly recommend this trip to everyone!! |

| I will thoroughly recommend the Hip Hop tour I enjoyed along with 7 others last Friday.
Grande Master Caz was a thorough treat to be with for the three hours. He made us all feel very welcome and taught us so much about the social history of New York. We were able to ask questions and to see places we would not normally have seen and put it all into the context of the era and the phenomenon of Hip Hop . He also performed for us . It was the highlight of my trip to the US, Thanks
and the food was great too ! |

| This is an awesome tour, i thought i knew a lot about hip hop before this tour, but i knew nothing. I learned so much about the history of hip hop where it grew from and all of this was from the guys that were there when it started. Grandmaster Cas was an awesome host, his personal insight was great, he was entertaining, answered so many questions and we loved his live performance! |

| I really enjoyed the tour. Most of the information was totally new to me but very interesting. This was a great tour and I recommend anyone visiting New York for the first time to check it out. |

| I thought the tour was fun and informative. My husband and I are huge Hip Hop fans so this was a great way to spend the afternoon. We did have a couple of suggestions to make the tour look more professional. The speaker box that was used could be update and of better quality, it kept blinking in and out. The explaination of hip hop was great but we would have like to hear and see more relevant facts regarding hip hop and its relevance to NYC.
We thought that they could put the Hush Tour sign on an A-frame so it would be easier to display and take with them during the tour rather then trying to hook it up to the door (which was rolled up while were there) or hooked to a fence in the park.
It would have been nice to be given some time at the graffity wall to take pictures rather then running after the group and having to miss the speakers remarks to take them.
I realize the tour is regarding the history of rap starting with it's pioneers but I think it would be of value to show the connection of how those individuals influenced modern day rappers or show some connections through time, from one generation to the next. sort of a 6 degrees of seperation thing.
Those are my suggestions.
Thanks for a great day. |

| I took my brother on this tour because we are both advocates of the hip-hop culture, and have enjoyed the majority of hip-hop music for many years. Grandmaster Caz was a great guide with an extensive knowledge of the culture's history. I had a really good time on the tour, and learned a lot about the inaugural generation of hip-hop that I had no idea lasted for as long as it did. The tour sustained an educational theme for hours about the growth of the culture in the 70's and before the mainstream appeal of rap music was relevant. I would recommend this tour to anyone that has a fascination with the roots of the culture beyond the rap music itself. |

| Getting a down-to-earth tour of the suburbs of NYC was just what I was looking for. I you want to get away from the regular tourist-machine and talk to real people that are passionate about what they do, you should try this tour. |

| We had a tour last Saturday and it was a real blast. Not so much about what you see, but about the stories Grand Master Caz told us during these 4 hours. He knows all from first hand, still remembers everything and can prove that he is still the best MC of his time. He is a great entertainer, very sincere (we were wondering why he was doing that tourist thing: guess he earns his living, but obviously he enjoys doing it , too). Best part: his rap in the bus, before the lunch in a Harlem cantina. Advice: Buy his disk during this stop.
Peace,
