Birthplace of Hip Hop Tour - Harlem & The Bronx

As an African American with a teen who loves hip hop, having an opportunity to learn from hip hop pioneers who could articulate the genesis, cultural aspects and history of the art form as well as to tour NYC was a wonderful form of education. Our thanks to all who make the tour possible.

just one word to explain ouR satisfaction. i booked this tour to make mY son happy but we were all enthusiastic. the presenter, the hush tour team are really showing what hip hop means: family feeling, respect, be yourself, positive. we had a special guest in the tour: kurtis blow! i could not believe it! unexpected. Hope this activity will continue for the future enriching programs and i'll continue to be there. the only thing was missing? well, granmaster, but for the rest we had the best of the best. Would i suggest this to other people? absolutely yes. hope to see some photos sooner

I want to thank the Hush Tours team for hosting a fabulous tour! My girlfriend and I were visiting New York from Toronto and I knew I had to partake in this tour before leaving. Jayson Vasquez and Grandmaster Caz were wonderful guides and I felt like I walked away with a better appreciation and understanding of Hip Hop. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with even the slightest curiosity about hip hop. The energy was high, and the reception was warm. Thanks to the whole team, including Deb the organizer for putting together an amazing tour!

We absolutely loved this tour, so different and interesting. Thanks so much to Caz who made the trip fun with lots of interesting info. The tour bus was really comfortable and cool. Jacob's Restaurant is fabulous, best meal we had in New York. Thanks!

for me it was the highlight of our whole 8 day NYC trip. i was interested in hip hop but also my mother (50 yrs) said that it was the best thing in whole NYC and that she learned a lot and i did too. the guide Grandmaster Caz is one of the most funny people i know your laughing all the time and having a lot of fun. you never get bored like in all the other NY tours its all time fun for everybody!! the tour is a must do if you are in NYC ! you wont regret it ! have fun ;)

Me as a hip-hop mom followed my son on this trip and it was one of the funniest things I've done! With great hosts, with a great love for hip hop culture and a lot of humor was this tour a great experience for both me and my son. We saw many places that would otherwise not have come, ate great food and met new people. Wonderful and I recommend it warmly.

Had booked the Brooklyn tour but got a a call two days prior stating the tour was cancelled due to too less participants. They offered money back or other tour and we picked the Birthplace Tour and didn´t regret it. Grandmaster is a terrific guide and I loved to here him on the mic. The break dance event in Harlem was also fab. The bad part was that the tour ended at lunch and then it just felt like transportation back down town. Would have been nice to end it in the same spirit as it started out. Soul Food for lunch was also a good stop. The over all best thing was Grandmaster Caz himself. He really is a great story teller! And you can tell he knows what he talks about. Over all a great experience!

A friendly and interesting look into real New York. A must if you've ever nodded your head to a New York hip hop son.

Everyone on staff was friendly and did an excellent job making everyone feel welcome. You can tell that the staff is truly passionate about hip hop. Please check this tour out, it is great for hip hop lovers and those who are willing to learn more.

Grandmaster Caz is an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable, having been hugely I nfluential in hip hop since the 70s. The tour was a lot of fun, and I felt privileged to have seen a side of New York not all tourists take the time to experience. Highly recommended to hip hop heads and Joe public alike, 5 stars!
