For hip hop fans of all ages. Well worth the money. The tour was informative, interactive, amusing and so much fun. Learned so much and had a blast. The tour bus was very comfortable and enhanced the tour experience. Grandmaster Caz is the man! I would recommend this tour and plan on booking another tour.

The young hip hop artist/tour guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about his subject. I have learned so much and have a new respect for graffiti art. I didn't realize that hip hop covered graffiti art, rap music, fashion and dance. It was so fascinating to see that culture through his eyes. Great tour!!!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised, a real insight into the birth of Hip Hop. Grandmaster Caz was awsome, funny and entertaining from start to finish. He even tried to make me look Hip Hop, didn't really work but made everyone laugh, ah well. Not the cheapest tour but for 4 hours of entertainment and... More

Thanks for spending the afternoon with Hush. We're glad all apprehensions were out the window 2 minutes into the tour. Although Hip Hop and New York City are ever changing...there's always room for a trip down memory lane. More
