| I have been into Hip Hop since the late 80's - among loads of other musical styles and was looking very much forward to this tour (after being told about it by a friend who did it a few years back).
I was on the tour with my wife (whom is not THAT into hip hop), but we both learned so much! Not only about Hip Hop and the origins, but also about American history (although it might "only" be 30 year old history)
We were fully entertained throughout the entire trip! Grandmaster Cas was the perfect host for this. Friendly, witty, knowledgeable and fresh!
I have a few friends that will be going to New York and this tour will be highly recommended! |

| Despite long times on the bus and spending the last quarter of the 4 hours tour for lunch break and driving back to manhattan , i can recommend that off the beaten path experience, especially if you are into hip hop. Caz is such an charismatic and authentic guide that you should do this tour just listen to his involvement into the rap game which is by the way also one of the best introduction to the early days of hip hop out there. his storytelling alongside the sights made this to one of the most memorable experience of my nyc adventure. enjoy! |

| With the tour kickking off with Grandmaster Caz, it could'nt get any better, seeing the sites and understanding the roots of Hip Hop, we all learned a very valuable lesson that day. ! Thank you very much for an insight on the music, culture, fassion and knowledge.

| I highly recommend Hush Tours NYC, if you are looking for a guided cultural tour with a difference. If you have time, you may want to consider at least two tours. I booked this tour using the online booking system, as I am from Australia. Hush Tours is not the run of the mill guided tour. It is much more and you are bound to learn something new, even if you are an avid hip-hop fanatic and expert yourself. I found the company to be prepared, on time, upbeat and host Grandmaster Caz is a natural talent, who will ensure you are guided tour an interactive experience of his backyard, NYC. I toured in Aug 2009. It is a positive experience. |

| Caz was great! We are long time fans of Hip hop from NY and knew much of the info already but still learned a lot and were very entertained. The tour description emphasizes "celebrity guides" so we had anticipated that we would be meeting Kurtis, Rahiem, Reggie or others as well. We loved the sites but wish we could have toured places inside too. The Apollo Theater; for example, was a cool stop but we couldn't see it well from inside the bus. While the lunch was fine, we would have preferred skipping it and having more actual hip hop tour time. The stop killed the momentum and was a distraction from the tour. Overall it was a really interesting tour though that we would reccomend and would definately take another Hush tour. |

| i am originally from NJ and now live with my wife and 3 sons in Nebraska and saw this on the internent when looking for things to do on our trip to New York. This ws one of the best things we had dome on our trip. Grandmaster Caz was great and very informative. The tour was exactly what I had hoped ot would be and more. I highly recommend this for anyone who would like to see sights throughout NY that you would normally not see and the background of Hip Hop. I opnly wish we could have taken another one of the tours they have as well. WELL WORTH IT!!!!!!! |

| Well, I was really disappointed since the focus of the tour was so narrow and there was no information about political reasons that started Hip Hop. It was just a tour in a bus showing us the house where the first "hip hop party" took place and a short drive through Harlem to show us an area used in some old movies, but nothing about the real start of hip hop.
So, in my opinion it was kind of a rip-off and nothing to really inform about the beginning of Hip Hop. Moreover, Caz just happened to be bragging about his involvement in the birth of Hip Hop and nothing more. |

| 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. |
