| First off I was really excited about this tour way before it even began. It was also the clincher that brought myself and my friend - another hip hop fan from the early 80's (when it hit the UK in a massive way) over to New York, so I was hoping for a real insight into the roots of hip hop and I wasn't disappointed.
Grandmaster Caz is a legend. he lived and breathed hip hop from the very beginning, so I was made up to see him take our tour. He's also got a large personality and he's a funny entertaining guy, so there wasn't a dull moment on the tour and every single one of us were listening to his every word while occasionally asking him questions, which he was happy to answer.
He also dropped his rhymes live on the bus, so made it all feel very special.
I don't want to give anything away, but I highly recommend this tour if (like us) you lived through the scene and feel a strong bond to it .
You love the Beatles...... you go to Liverpool and take the tour.
You love Elvis...... you go to Gracelands.
You love hip hop. then you need to go to the birthplace of hip hop in New York and take the Hush Tour - with a legend of hip hop. |

| I work in NYC and booked this tour when my 20-year old son came to visit. My son likes all music genres but is a big fan of hip hop music. He loved the tour - I think it was the high point of his trip to New York. I went along for the ride, but thoroughly enjoyed the venues, history and music. The 4-hour tour went by quickly. Grand Master Caz (Cold Crush Brothers) and Mighty Mike Cee (Fearless Four) were outstanding guides and did a great job with a very diverse tour group. I enthusiastically recommend this tour if you want to learn more about hip hop and the City neighborhoods where the culture arose. |

| An excellent tour. Some how they manage to cater to everyone from Hip Hop fans to complete newbies. This really is more than a tour of famous sites and more of a trip for anyone that wants to get out of Manhattan and wants to see where (and how) the rest of New York lives. I took my 14 year old nephew and he had a great time. I will be recommending this to everyone I know that visits the city. |

| Awesome and recommendable! Taking u back to the roots in the Bronx and Harlem.
Sometimes, especially in the end there was a long time of no talking/information on the bus. Could be improved! Peace |

| Laughed, learned, participated and had 4 of the most interesting hours i've ever had in my time on this planet so far.
Amazing hosts...sites and history all rolled into 1. Highly recommended even if you dont have an interest in the culture, because when you step off the bus at the end you will do !
Thanks Hush |

| it was good to see many spots that you've heard about over the years in different songs and interviews, graffiti hall of fame was a nice stop off, visiting the building that hip-hop started in will always stay in my mind, recommend this to anyone involved in the culture or for anyone wanting to learn more about it, caz was a great tour guide |

| The tour guides were excellent and gave a lot of background detail (Debbie and GM Caz). They always gave us enough time to look at the stop offs and take photos and also ask questions. You get to see a lot in the 4 hours without feeling rushed. The restuarant where we stopped for food was out of this world. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. This is the 2nd time I have done this tour and each time has been slightly different. |

| I really enjoyed thsi tour, it was everything I wanted it to be. My husband and I could not stop talking about this. This was something we decided to do for our 1 year anniversary of marriage and we were more than satisfied. A memoriable time. We recommed this to others, especially those who think they know about hip hop, but have no idea of the real thing... |

| I'd enjoyed the Tour very much...I learned a lot about the Hip Hop culture and I met Grandmaster Caz :) It's very interesting for all Hip Hop fans and also for people who don't know that much about Hip Hop. |
