| I’d recommend the Hush Tour to anyone going to New York for several reasons.
First of all it’s a great way to see the city so you can explore the sites further on your own afterwards.
Secondly you’re sure to have a great time no matter if you know some of the stuff beforehand, because it’s told in such an entertaining and personal fashion.
But mainly you get to see the real sites, hear the real stories and hang out with the actual pioneers. If you go on a tour of Pompeii, you can get a guide that’s knowledgeable and can even make the history seem alive, but you can’t get a guide that’s lived the history.
Reggie Reg and Grandmaster Caz were incredible guides and we commend them for their work. Hush Tour is the best tour I’ve ever been on, and the one that I’ve taken the most away from. |

| the greatest thing about the tour was definitely the guide, grandmaster caz. he was very funny and inspiring - and he told some funny anecdotes about the birth of hiphop. if you can live with the awkward feeling of going on a safari into places where regular people live (you'll - rightfully - catch some bitter comments from the people living in harlem and in the bronx) i can definitely recommend it. bless up! |

| Grand Master Caz was our host for this day tour...Very informative and a great deal of knowledge - as to be expected.
I grew up in the Bronx in the early days of hip hop (mid 70s) -- (in the bronx - near cratona park). Of course - it was not called hip hop at that time.
I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to connect with the origin and learn more about the roots of hip hop.
Grand Master Caz made this tour fun, provided a good deal of knowledge - Thanks.
Thanks,
Jose |

| This trip with its information and especially with the explanations from Caz Fly was surely one of the best things of our 5ht New York trip and we strongly recommend it for all people who are interested in HipHop. All the stops were interesting and we also loved the food and the CDs we bought. We really had a lot of fun. Back home we listened to our old vinyl records and found one "Wild style" with Grandmaster Caz, is this Caz Fly?

| ...but nothing beats being shown around the culture's birthplace by Grand Master Caz. 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, the building where Harlem World used to be, The Apollo etc are all to be experienced 'live' - this cannot and should not be only experienced on the pages of a book or on a DVD.
Caz is a legend, an orginator, a great guide and really friendly - he's my kind of hero. Even my wife enjoyed the experience (we were on our honeymoon!)
If you love hip hop or have a serious interest in cultural history, book up.

| Raheim was very down to earth and not uptight like most of the pioneers from our era (I'm from that era too). It seems like every time I listen to one of the old school dudes, they are very hostile and have nothing good to say about the new generation. Personally, I have nothing good to say about the new generation either with exception to a few artists and I definitely understand where they come from with the hostility and all but, there's better ways to educate the youth and this tour is one of them. Raheim was cool (tight shirt and all...ha,ha). He provided us with some cool background of the origins of hip hop and was very informative about some of the locations, characters and situations that they had to deal with in order to make it happen. My only complaint is that he seemed to space out from time to time but thanks to the lady that was with him....she kept things rolling when he had his lapses. Other than that, he had good knowledge of what happened....just needed to work on the delivery a bit. My kids and myself had a good time though and the lunch was great. I definitely recommend it. |

| Despite long times on the bus and spending the last quarter of the 4 hours tour for lunch break and driving back to manhattan , i can recommend that off the beaten path experience, especially if you are into hip hop. Caz is such an charismatic and authentic guide that you should do this tour just listen to his involvement into the rap game which is by the way also one of the best introduction to the early days of hip hop out there. his storytelling alongside the sights made this to one of the most memorable experience of my nyc adventure. enjoy! |
