| We had a blast. I would recommend that the person waiting for us at the p/u spot have a printed sign or badge on with the tour name. When we got to the spot we didn't know if we were at the right place and approach a couple people before we got to the right person. Also, our tour was on 7/1/06. I had my confirmation but was not on the list. There was no problem we were welcomed on the tour. The information was very informative and the time on the bus was filled with music, fun, and hip hop trivia. The stops were interesting. We had a problem getting to the Bronx due to a baseball game. Prior planning could have allowed for another route to be taken. We spend a lot of time sitting in traffic. It was also a little disappointing that we had to return the "bling bling". It would have been a nice souvenir. The food was good and allowed for the foreigners to experience "soul food". Keep up the good work. I would recommend the tour to others that visit NY. |

| It was very informative and at the same time lively - it was nice to get to know the narrators on a personal level. We got to see every hidden corner of Harlem and the true roots of hip hop which made you really appreciate it to it's fullest and get behind the whole movement. Lunch is fantastic! I didnt feel like I needed to eat again for a whole week, the food was that good - real soul food! Stops on the tour included the Graffiti Hall of Fame which oozed vibrance and character, Rucker Park where a few of us shot hoops!,The Walk of fame in the Bronx...awesome. Interaction was great and everyone was involved. Definately is a must do if visiting New York. |

| Most viewing is done from within the bus (not a luxury bus as stated) and too many insignificant pieces of information. Would expect a proper soul food restaurant rather than an "all you can eat "type for $ 4.99 |

| Grandmaster Caz was part entertainer, part educator, and part cultural icon. The tour bus was comfortable, the tour staff respectful and knowledgeable, and the tour was both educational and entertaining. |

| I really enjoyed the tour. Most of the information was totally new to me but very interesting. This was a great tour and I recommend anyone visiting New York for the first time to check it out. |

| The 3 of us who went along on the tour were pretty well schooled on the origins of hip hop, but no matter how much you think you know, this tour is absolutely worth it! It was such an inspiring tour, we definately left feeling re invigorated and inspired, cannot recommend this tour enough!!! And that Soul Food was damn good too! Thanks for such a memorable day :o) |
