| my boy and i took this tour to check out historic places in NYC that were important in the early days of hip hop. As both of us have been down with hip hop for 10-15 years we werent after the beginner class style that the tour was. Would have been dope if the tour have delved deeper into the mindset of the movement (but cant expect much as its more aimed at tourists/people who dont follow hip hop). Caz was the best mc we could have hoped for, entertained us like crazy and we were lucky enough to meet KRS-1 on our tour so u aint gonna catch too much reck from us. Look forward to a tour (if possible) that takes heads deeper into the old stomping grounds of all the elements of this ish'. THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND - U NEVER KNOW WHO U COULD CATCH CRUISIN WITH CAZ IN NYC!! |

| First off I want to thank Hush Tours (Sorry can't remember the helpful lady's name) for giving us a meeting point when our flight was delayed and we were half an hour late. Met the crew at 106 & Park where we walked around this school yard with all this sick graffiti including the "Graffiti Wall of Fame". From there we stopped at multiple historic spots. One being Rucker Park where Mighty Mouse B-Boy master gave us a dose of some NY b-boyin'. Which included a challenge from one of our fellow tour crew which was coo. Even though I may of knew a lot of the history already it was sick to see all the original birth places. Not to mention having Caz as a MC the whole time, #$%!ing sick! MC Delight was jokes " Who put this thing together? Me that's who!" a must see live. My fav moment had to be getting a pic of me and Caz in front of the birth place of Hip-Hop and now a landmark 1520 Sedgwick Ave. Strictly Unforgettable! |

| A guided tour of hip hop landmarks in the city where it all began and guided by hip hop LEGENDS no less! You can't go wrong, people. My friends and I were fortunate to have the pleasure of Reggie Reg and the one and only Kurtis Blow. These two cats guided us through the rich history of old school hip hop while asking us to take in scenery that is legendary. If you know your hip hop, you know pretty much every story these guys will tell, but to hear it from people who helped create hip hop is a wholly different experience. Plus, one of my friends kinda tagged along and wasn't so much into the history of hip hop, but he was really positively surprised and learned a thing or two. Both Blow and Reg are elder hip hop statesmen and act as such. Plenty of smiles and no bad vibes whatsoever. You will not regret it! |

| This was a great tour. Lots of information was given with good detail. The Bus was nice & comfortable & the food we had for lunch was great too. Me & my friends look foward to try out another tour when we visit NY again. |

A BIG CHEAT

| This activity was a big cheat.
First, we stopped in a "graffiti mural" at East Harlem, which wasn't as good as the Long Island City one.
Second stop was to make some basketball shots at Harlem, too. But the best was after, Grandmaster Caz said: "Let's go to the Bronx", and the Bronx which we saw was the Yankee Stadium title from the bridge, and then, back to Manhattan. I was stupefact, but nobody said nothing.
The best thing too was we took a hat and chains around the neck by the staff, but at the end, we must return to them... (The hat was no Kangol, and the chains can be found at Chinatown...)
The paradox is that the other excursion with Hush Tours was in the other extreme, was very dope and interesting. |

| Being a fan of Hip-Hop from the early 80s to todays different sound this tour was a true experience of Hip-Hop culture which defined and still defines New York City. Travelling to the birthplace of Hip-Hop The Bronx as well as Harlem our tour guide 'Reggie Reg' gave all the info anyone who was unaware of what 'Hip-Hop culture' was all about. Knowing my Hip-Hop history it was great to visit The Graffiti Hall of Fame, Rucker Park and other places of Hip-Hop relevence which you wouldn't normally find on that New York tourist map!.
Whether you are a Hip-Hop historian or a novice Hush tours can deliver the info and experience like no other. Massive shout out to Reggie Reg of The Crash Crew , Madness and of course Debra.

| I really liked the tour. Being guided through some of the most important places in hiphop history by one of its first minute participants was certainly an experience not to be missed. I appreciated the stories and the vast knowledge and personal experiences they were based on. Grandmaster Caz entertained us well, and I am sure we all learned a lot.
However, the real tour was over after 2 1/2 hours. Although lunch was excellent, I wished we would have visited a few more places - I am sure there are more than the ones we have seen.
Overall, the concept and its realization worked very much to my satisfaction, and I would recommend going on the tour. |
