| This tour was one of the highlights of our honeymoon in New York. Our tour guide, grand master Caz with his big personality and his legendary status within the realms of Hip hop made this tour interesting, fun and equally accessible to those with an interest in the music and those with little or no knowledge. The tour takes you through Harlem and the Bronx, both areas that have to be experienced if you want to get a real flavour of the city . Overall, this 4 hour tour is packed with historical information about hip hop with visits to significant sites, guided by a legend who shares his incredible memories and experiences of the birth of the music. It was a true priviledge to be in his company and we left feeling that it was the real deal. We would like to extend a big thanks to Hush tours for providing what has been an excellent experience. |

| We had a great time. We are a family of four. Two adults and a 22 and 16 year old. We all had a great time. We learned , we laughed, we ate and we took a lot of pictures. It is safe and worth the money. It is the next step beyond the tourist traps.
Good Luck

| The guy (grandmastercash...or something) was a sort of celebrity in new york's hip hop world. He knew lots of rappers and lots of significant places and he was funy too! There was a nice and relaxed atmosphere in the bus and there was also some cool old school rap.
The cons are: The bus was old and without air conditioning. They sold to many tickets so that there wasnt enough space for all of us. At the end of the tour we all stopped in a restaurant/take away......crowded, dirty and, because we were running out of time, we had to eat in the boiling hot bus!
In the end the tour made a good impression...try it! |

| Basically Cas on a soapbox. If you already know what comprises Hip-Hop (style, grafitti, MC, and DJ) you'll be bored the first half of the tour. Make sure you eat breakfast because we didn't eat until 2:30 and the tour started at 11am. Definitely learned a lot about history and culture...great tour for kids and adults alike...I just wish someone had told me 1) this covers the BIRTH of hip-hop through 1981 (not clear on the web site), and 2) it's basically Grandmaster Cas telling his personal journey. It wouldn't have deterred me from going necessarily...I just might have chosen a different tour that featured another era I think. |

| I would highly recommend this tour for any serious hip hop head who respects the thought of learning the history/roots of something you love. Grandmaster Caz was great and koo to kick it with. He's very knowledgeable. Listen to his stories, take it all in, and just flow with the tour. You're visiting the Jerusalem of Hip Hop. To visit these actual spots after a lifetime of living/loving hip hop is amazing. Go to the tour you'll love it. |
