| Our tour guide was Raheim from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and he was great at breaking down the orgins of hip-hop culture. My brother said it was one of the best tours he's ever been on and I agree ! If you want to avoid the tourist traps and visit the real New York, this tour is not to be missed. |

| Excellent tour, excellent guides, great value.
I've toured the spiritual home of Opera [La Scala in Milan (Italy)] and been to the home of Ballet [Mariinsky in St. Petersburg (Russia)] ... the hip-hop tour of NYC is much more moving and a better experience ! |

| This was the best tour we took in NYC. My 18 year old daughter and myself enjoyed the authenticity of this tour and the tour guides who gave us one afternoon of Hip Hop history and a wonderful lunch at an authentic Puerto Rican restaraunt in Harlem. The grafitti part of this tour was outstanding as well. GM Caz and Hush tours are providing a wonderful service to both the Hip Hop industry as well as Hip Hop fans. I would highly recommend this tour to all my friends and family who are interested in the Hip Hop culture, music and art.

| Me and my girlfriend were happy to know that Grandmaster Caz was taking our tour. He is a living testament to what real hip hop stands for, his knowledge, enthusiasm and love for it show throughout and he's not bad at a rap or two. We really enjoyed the tour around Harlem and The Bronx although I would have liked to have seen a little more of the areas of The Bronx if there was more time available.
B-Boy Mighty Mouse came across as a warm character and did us a few moves and explained his love and knowledge of breaking.
We saw some nice graff pieces in Spanish Harlem in the school yard and we managed to get a few snaps including a group one with Caz.
The visit to 1520 Sedgwick Avenue where the first hip hop party started in '73 was good to see although it was different to what I expected but it was still good to be there.
The food stop at the soul food cafe was nice, a good selection of everything you could think of to pile into a tray and fill your belly with.
I would strongly recommend this tour as it was a good overall view of where things started in the early days of hip hop and a broad view of things in general over the years by someone who has been there since it started.
Peace to Caz, he's ace! |

| I grew up in FL in a town that was almost 50% NYC transplants. My friends were almost entirely Inner City NY B-Boys. At 17 I finally made the journey to "mecca" aka NYC. I was able to see the borroughs that my crew crew up in. Brooklyn, Bronx, and Uptown.
After high school I did whatever I could to move to the city. It was a great experience. I grew up as a hip hop head and loved every bit of it. It seemed that after high school however, hip hop became too "Gangster". All the artists would talk about was who had the best cars, gear, and who could shoot the best. Hip hop had become too commercial for it's own good. I started to lose interest. For a long time, all I simply lived in the past playing all my old tracks.
The tour was very informative, it was cool to meet Reggie Reg and get first hand knowledge of the origins of hip hop. Reg was passsionate about the culture and was eager to share it with everyone.
I would reccomend this tour to all my old school crew. We grew up reading the source and rap pages and we had a lot of knowledge but no one can pull it all together like the crew that was there.
thanks!

| I went with a 15 year old boy - and think I had more fun than he did. We learned all about the origins of hip hop (and I learned what the four legs of the hip hop table are) as well as visited important geographic sites in the hip hop world. I even got to learn some beat boying moves! (Now that I know what beat-boying is...).Lunch was at a soul food buffet with classics for the picky (mac and cheese) as well as soul food specialties for the more adventurous - like collard greens. Music accompanied throughout added atmosphere and helped set the tone. Lecture tour throughout as well - with stories, history, anecdotes and a bit of rapping (oops, I mean emceeing). Nice mix of on and off the bus experience. |

| Even if you think you know everything there is to know about HipHop, you'll still learn from these guys. We were lucky enough to have Grandmaster Caz and Reggie Reg as our guides. We had such a good day stopping off at famous landmarks, learning all you need to know about the roots of Hip Hop and visiting Harlem and the Bronx.
Live entertainment too .....the lot in four hours!!! |

| Enjoyed the time, wished it went into the Bronx a little deeper. A ride around Yankee stadium was not what I expected. Could have been more about the birthplace and neighborhoods. |

| This brief but informative tour takes you back in the hay day of when Hip Hop was first created. From the Graffiti Hall of Fame to Harlem World. From Bronx Walk of Fame to the Apollo Theater. It was well worth it for Hip Hop appreciators to Hip Hop heads. Thanks again for the dope experience! |
