| I was in NYC for a day and was fortunate enough that I could fit this tour into my schedule. The tour was fantastic. There's no better way to see NYC than on a bus that plays classics like Kurtis Blow's "Basketball" at Rucker Park and Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" while driving through the Bronx. Grandmaster Caz is a living legend. As one the the pioneers of hip hop, his knowledge is beyond old school, it's pre-school. Had a great time. If you are trying to decide what tour to take while visiting NYC, I highly recommend this one. |

| as a fan of hip hop or not, this tour is a great way to learn and see parts of NY without having to deal with public transport etc.
full of laughs and plenty to see i felt special to be able to partake in what ended up being a thoroughly enjoyable tour.
Caz was a very loveable guide.
recommend to all, even if you are on your own as i was. |

| As one who takes the culture of hiphop deeply,
i believe that what this tour offers is essential.
i feel that the first hand experience and
chaperons to the actual sites is an
inspiring feat. It is as if one can go
and intake the essence of hip hop.
i also liked how mighty mike
projected hip hop as a movement
that promotes unity.
It is a culture that has touched all
corners of the world and has influenced
and taken from many cultures as well.
To me, new york is the mecca of hiphop
and that my visit has reinforced that
it is still alive. Within individuals such as
myself who can congregate and share
ideas of any proportion, as i did with mightymike.
i really recommend this tour because
as of late, hip hop has received
connotations different for what it is known for.
And in my generation, it is far-branched alien
to what its essence was.
Overall,
for those who want the first hand experience
and the foundation.
This tour is a must to do.
Much Love from
San Francisco, California.

| We meet Grandmster Caz, who is a very friendly and funny person. After we got on the bus he told us some things about hip hop`s history and we meet a B-Boy in Harlem, who showed us some moves and some of the visitors had the opportunuity to learn some B-Boy moves. We visited also some historic spots of Harlem and the Bronx and had lunch at a soul food restaurant.
I can recommend this tour to everybody, who likes to see NYC from a different side and everybody, who is interested in hip hop culture. This tour is organized very good and informative. The tourguides are very friendly. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| This is the best tour I have ever been on; the rise of hip-hop delivered with great social/political context, and lots of fun surprises. |
