| We thought this was an amazing tour. It was a great introduction for us to New York, the birthplace of Hip Hop.
Grandmaster Caz knew what he was talking about because he was there, he lived it.
If you want the low down on the birth of Hip Hop in New York, this is the tour to check out.
Big thanks to Caz and Debra for making this an awesome tour! |

| Very interesting to hear a hiphop pioneer tell about his own experience and the origins of the culture. But the tour also gives a unique possibility for tourists to get an insight in Harlem and the Bronx, which is not easily done on your own.
It would be an important asset to the tour if the stereo or the sound in the bus were of better quality. It would also make the tour a "must" for visitors if it could be combined with a little museum located in Harlem or the Bronx, where pictures/movies could be shown, information given and music played.
Keep up the good work, and God bless! |

| Great tour - both for me and the students. If I could ask for one more thing, I could ask for a little more information on the impact the Hio Hop movement had on the society, |

| Grandmaster Cas is a great tour guide and Hip-Hop historian. My wife and I booked several tours while in New York, however, this Hip-Hop tour was by FAR the BEST!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, it should be a requirement for all who are interested in Hip-Hop. The city of New York has and continues to benefit from Hip-Hop. The least it can do is mark the historic sites which are visited during this tour. AWESOME! AWESOME and MORE AWESOME! If you are reading this and think that it may have been posted by someone who works for this tour, your are WRONG!!!!! I am a regular person who traveled from the South who experienced this fantastic tour. I have not had the chance to see the other tour guides in actions, I have witnessed Cas and he is excellent. |

| The tour was great. My sister and I have been to New York a few times before but never got a chance to see the parts of NYC that we got to see on the tour, like the South Bronx and Rucker Park. Grandmaster Caz was our tour guide and did a great job of educating those that didn’t really know much about hip hop while keeping the others that did know a little something something interested too. Caz is definitely passionate about hip hop and the history of it; I can’t think of a better person to lead this tour.
If I could change anything, I would say that the bus could be upgraded |

WOW! I would do it again!

| This tour was fun and I learned a tremendous amount not just about hip hop, but about boroughs that tourists normally don't visit. Gransmaster Caz was our tour guide and not only is he talented at all things hip hop, he's funny and really fun to hang out with throughout the tour! These guys really are the pioneers of hip hop so you get the ground floor story about the beginnings of hip hop. Did you know hip hop started with a party?!??! pretty sweet and you get to see where that party happened! |

| What an amazing tour in New York City. Grandmaster Caz was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable with loads of stories from the moment the coach started!
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone into 80's hiphop, you get to see areas that as a tourist you would never find!
Cheers

| Caz was excellent as a guide! I will definately recommend this tour to my friends! The only thing I missed was to vist some more oldschoolplaces like RocksteadyPark or maybe the tour could have went to South Bronx too. |

| ...but nothing beats being shown around the culture's birthplace by Grand Master Caz. 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, the building where Harlem World used to be, The Apollo etc are all to be experienced 'live' - this cannot and should not be only experienced on the pages of a book or on a DVD.
Caz is a legend, an orginator, a great guide and really friendly - he's my kind of hero. Even my wife enjoyed the experience (we were on our honeymoon!)
If you love hip hop or have a serious interest in cultural history, book up.

| Whether you're into hip hop or not this tour is a MUST on a trip to NYC, if you want to go beyond the coventional tourist stuff. We were taken around for four hours by one of the legends of the old skool. The one, the very only ... Grandmaster Caz. In English parlance this man is the "dog's bollocks". He's a brilliant guide and raconteur. Not only does Caz educate you about the music, the grafitti, the clothes and the moves, he also tells some pretty funny stories too. Go on this tour and go back to the roots of hip hop. Sedgwick and Cedar '73 is what it's all about. |
