| This was an experience that I would not only recommend to Hip Hop enthusiast but to anyone that appreciates the history of the USA. Hip Hop is not just a black thing, it’s for everyone. Hip Hop defines a major accomplishment in history and has a place like other great accomplishments. This tour far exceeded my expectations and I have HIGH expectations! Grand Master Cass is the real deal and not only gives you the history behind Hip Hop but makes you proud of him as an individual. I would do this tour again and again. I have already started planning my next trip to NYC for my children to enjoy this wonderful experience. Keep up the fantastic work! |

| It was something I could enjoy with my children. I enjoyed the on/off bus breaks... Participant involvement was a nice touch. I especially enjoyed the stop by the Nike tribute to Men's Basketball while in Harlem. My children who are bb enthusiasts also enjoyed that quick break. Caz was entertaining; as well as a turn off. The group and their questions also add to the tour, along with attendee’s personal experiences. I would do the tour again with a new group. It would be good at the beginning of one’s visit to NYC to set the tone for other excursions while in NYC. Lunch was the best food I had while in NYC, with much variety; being a diabetic I appreciated the lunch stop. A give-a-way would add to the tour! |

| This tour provided me with so much history about how hip hop originated, where, and with whom. I would have loved to have seen some actual photographs of this--the first party, how people dressed, etc. "MASTER CASANOVA FLY" was outstanding, extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. So was "MADNESS". I also would have liked to have seen more people hip hop dancing. I loved visiting the building where the first hip hop party took place. I wanted to hear more about how hip hop has changed and what it is like today. I also wanted to know more about the message that the hip hop culture shares with the world. It was so inspiring to hear about how people who loved hip hop would do anything to get the chance to dance. It seems as though hip hop is a way of life. |

| we would recommend this tour to everybody that has even a slight interest in music and especially hip hop and rap. It was very unique... And the ages that went on the tour were varied from 16 to 42.... And we all loved it! Raheim from grand master flash was incredible, insightful and inspiring! |

| We enjoyed the tour very much and choose it because of my son who just turned 16, he had the most interest in it, me having the second most interest in the tour. I think it was informational fun and we all learned something, it was great going thru the city and stoping at different points. I think it was a great day had by all, thanks!!! |

| 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. |

| Grandmaster Caz proved that hip hop ain't dead, and if this tour continues, it probably will never die. We had to leave for Switzerland on that Saturday evening on the last day of our week long trip and looked forward to the tour ALL week.
We were not disappointed, from the start of the tour opening with the invincible Grandmaster Caz and crew rapping live on the bus right up to the cool ending of the Blackbirds "Rock Creek Park".
The hiphop bus crew had the whole setup running slick, fast and totally engrossing for the four hours, which just flew past.
We felt the history standing in the playgound where DJ Kool Hurk started the movement. We saw the once-scary streets of Harlem and the Bronx, which we never have visited alone (Great .... another typical European false stereotyping smashed!!)
Not too sure if my back will recover from the impromptu breakdance lesson, but my wife had a great laugh watching me try to follow the resident expert Mighty Mouse.
We'll treasure the experience as piece of the REAL New York. Peace ! |

| The tour was good fun and I thought first of all that my son would enjoy it more than me but that was not the case. I really enjoyed listening to the histoy of Hip-Hop and it's roots. The soul food was fab too! |
