| I would recommend this tour to any hip-hop enthusiast who is interested in learning more about the origins of the genre. Also a good chance to view the sights of Harlem and the Bronx, including the Apollo Theater and Rucker Park. The tour is probably a bit long, but that can be attributed to having to sit in NYC traffic. |

| When coming to New York for the first time I had two major goals to achieve, next to just getting to know New York better:
1. Buy sneakers
2. Learn about the roots of HipHop
The Hush Hip Hop tour definitely made me achieve the second goal. We did the Harlem and Bronx tour, with Grandmaster Caz as our tourguide. This man is GREAT! The way he told the story of the early days was just perfect. We were shown different important places and (and this was maybe the highlight of the tour), the place where the first HipHop party ever was given. Cool Herc's place. The place where HipHop started.
For anyone interested in HipHop and/or in Harlem and the Bronx, you definitely need to do this tour. A visit to these two boroughs is mandatory if you want a complete experience of New York. Don't just stay in "save" Manhattan!
If you're looking for some cool sneakerstores, keep your pen and pad ready, cause you need to write down some of the streets you pass. You don't have the change to get off and check out the stores, but after the tour you know where you should head next ;-)
But really. If you want to know more about what happened in the past, as far as HipHop is concerned, do this tour! I know I will do another Hush tour when I come back to New York. Fo sho!
CAZ! You da man. Thanks again for the experience! |

| This tour was very informative, even for someone who considers themselves to have alot of knowledge about the origins of Hip-Hop (which I do) Caz is a phenomenal tour guide, funny, passionate, engaging...the tour itself is well paced and takes you to the spots you would want to see...lunch was brilliant! Caz's performance and his explanation of the "Hank" situation was a personal highlight for me...also Caz talking about how the city only revitalises areas for the next people who move in, was another of many keen insights...this was brilliant, the best thing I did in NYC...I did the loop with t-shirt and cd included with the tour...I can report that both the cd and t-shirt are dope and worth the extra money...miss this tour at your peril....

| I will thoroughly recommend the Hip Hop tour I enjoyed along with 7 others last Friday.
Grande Master Caz was a thorough treat to be with for the three hours. He made us all feel very welcome and taught us so much about the social history of New York. We were able to ask questions and to see places we would not normally have seen and put it all into the context of the era and the phenomenon of Hip Hop . He also performed for us . It was the highlight of my trip to the US, Thanks
and the food was great too ! |

| It was a good guide around the town Hip Hop wise, Grandmaster Caz was perfect as a guide through the history of Hip Hop. He's a real entertainer and the perfect man for this type of activity. Nothing but thumbs up for The Hush Hip Hop Tour. |
