	Educational and informative Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
	Sat, Sep 10, 05 11:00 AM	pingus66	Male	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
	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.
	An Awesome Pilgrimage to the home of Hip-Hop Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx

	From Arriving in New York on Thursday I had been looking forward to the Saturday for the Hip-Hop tour and it didn't dissappoint. From being a die hard fan of the music and culture this was my highlight. Going back to the birth place of Hip-Hop was only right and with hush tours they know where to take you. With a legend like Kurtis Blow leading the tour and Heading down to the Boogie Down Bronx and seeing where it all started was a real experience. Heading up to Harlem 125th St and Malcolm X Blvd & seeing the 'Real New York' is a must. With Kurtis knowing everyone in Harlem we were able to go into the Appollo Theater and have our photo's taken in the world famous theater. Cheers Kurtis!!. Not forgetting an all you can eat Soul Food Lunch. We also headed down to the world famous Rucker Park. All in all this is a great tour. And not many tour companies would still let you on the tour even though you had accidentally booked for the next week by mistake!!( always double check the date take it from me!!) So if your in New York and love Hip-Hop check this tour out!!! Simon Weir aka DJ Si
	A must do in NYC!!! Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
	Sat, Aug 6, 05 11:00 AM	Melissa1980	Female	20-29	International Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
	This tour was off the hook!! Grandmaster Caz and Rahiem were so engaging and the best tour hosts you could ask for. Their wealth of knowlegde about the beginnings of rap was unbelievable and it was such a privilege to be in the company of 2 founders of the whole hip hop game. Not to mention how cool it was to have a tour takes you thru Harlem and the Bronx to see the real NY and not just your typical Manhattan tourist sites. All the sites we saw were amazing and damn, that soul food lunch, yum yum!!! This tour was the highlight of my trip for real and I would recommend this to anyone visiting NYC. If you don't love and have an appreciation for hip hop now, it's guaranteed you will after this tour!!
	Grandmaster Caz-Master Storyteller Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
	Sat, Aug 6, 05 11:00 AM	lathrop4	Male	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
	My son is an aspiring hip hop DJ and he has brought this music form to me by our attending concerts and other hip hop related events the past few years. So participating in the Hip Hop Tour in NYC was a "must see" for him and turned out to be one of the best things we did during our visit. The tour was well run and well organized and led by a very gifted tour guide/storyteller/legend of hip hop Grandmaster Caz. Caz brought the story of the history of hip hop to life with his enthusiasm, humor and engaging rapport with the participants. The tour itself brought us to parts of NY that few tourist visit- Harlem, Spanish Harlem, the Bronx, but it was Caz' relaying of the importance of each area to the creation of the hip hop culture that made visiting these sites relevant and enjoyable. Grandmaster Caz emphatically made it known to the group that hip hop is alive on the streets of NYC, and demonstrated that when we made an impromptu stop to watch and cheer on a group of break dancers near Central Park. As we were heading back near the end of the tour, Caz was rapping and had all of us into it- clapping and moving to the beat and his words. We pulled up alongside a city bus and an older woman could not believe what she was seeing and hearing on the tour bus next to her- eventually smiling and waving her approval. Don't hesitate to take part in this unique New York experience.
	A Must Do!!! Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx

	My family and friends couldn't stop talking about the Hip Hop Tour. Grandmaster Caz and Raheem were funny, entertaining, insightful, and most of all good roll models for my children. We went to parts of New York that we would never had ventured to. They changed our views on Harlem and the Bronx. We learned about the history of hip-hop and have a better appreciation for it. I would recommend this tour to any family coming into New York. You will want to go out dancing after.
	Honest introduction to the roots of Hip Hop Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx

	For those of us who are too young to know (and that should include most of the people interested in the Hip Hop culture today) the roots of Hip Hop and how it came about this is an exciting tour. Personally, I would have liked to know more about the pioneering Graffiti artists and the environment that spurred them. Nevertheless this tour is highly enjoyable for anyone who ever wanted to know anything about the infancy of Hip Hop and what it was like back in the days ....

	This brief but informative tour takes you back in the hay day of when Hip Hop was first created. From the Graffiti Hall of Fame to Harlem World. From Bronx Walk of Fame to the Apollo Theater. It was well worth it for Hip Hop appreciators to Hip Hop heads. Thanks again for the dope experience!
	Best Tour in NYC! Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
	Sat, Jul 16, 05 11:00 AM	VeldaSue	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
	This was the best tour we took in NYC. My 18 year old daughter and myself enjoyed the authenticity of this tour and the tour guides who gave us one afternoon of Hip Hop history and a wonderful lunch at an authentic Puerto Rican restaraunt in Harlem. The grafitti part of this tour was outstanding as well. GM Caz and Hush tours are providing a wonderful service to both the Hip Hop industry as well as Hip Hop fans. I would highly recommend this tour to all my friends and family who are interested in the Hip Hop culture, music and art. Velda and Fransheska Saldana
	oldschool Hip Hop rocks Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
	Sat, Jul 9, 05 11:00 AM	aiasmartakis	Male	20-29	Combination	Other
	The tour was excellent, the amount of knowledge and insiders information the tour guides (Kurtis Blow and the Crash Crew) could provide is unparalleled to any tour I've ever done in the US! We saw a lot of the great historic hip hop sights NYC has to offer and the tour was well balanced: It gave enough insight into the culture to understand how it must've been like in the old days, we made a couple of interesting stops at famous locations which made the knowledge touchable and last but not least we ate chicken with great rap legends :-) . If you repect hip hop (or even cultures in general) you'll find this tour amazing, Aias

	My English is bad, but i must say, that me (44 years old) and my son (15 years old) enjoyed the tuor very much. The New York trip was a present for my sun for his graduation at scool, and as special surprise for him the firs day was the hiphop tour. He enjoyed every minut of it. He is stil talkimg about the tour .He remembered every details of it. I am yust an Eminem fan but the tour realy gives me all the informations about the begining of hiphop, about the importance of some people, musicials and so on. WE realy enjoed it. The organisation was good, the bus and lunch too. The best of the best was of course the guy who lead the tour. He did not introuduce himself so I do not know his name. He is living enciklopedia of hiphop. Thanks, Mojca from Ljubljana, Slovenija, Europe
	A MUST FOR THE MISINFORMED HIP HOP HEAD Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
	Sat, Jul 2, 05 11:00 AM	telephoneman	Male	30-39	Local	Family With Children
	My family and I really enjoyed the Hush Tour experience. It was a must for those who think they know about the origins of Hip Hop, especially the young ones. Rahiem was mad cool and insightful. Get the real meaning and feel of Hip Hop and be ready to be a real Hip Hop head because you have to know and embrace where it started to fully understand Hip Hop! WORD!!!!

	This trip was one of the best trips in New York, I ever did. I'm a big Hip Hop Fan for many years, but I really learned a lot at this tour and I'm so glad that I did it.

	When I reserved my tickets for the event, the customer service representative was extremely helpful. My group and I enjoyed the Hip Hop Tour very much. Grandmaster Caz is charismatic and humorous and made the tour extremely interesting in spite of the lack of music and DVD that are normally featured during the tour. I'm vegetarian and I was accomodated with a delicious vegetarian option for lunch. I enjoyed viewing the graffiti wall, but would have liked for someone to be available to explain the history and meaning of graffiti to the hip hop culture. It would have been great to talk to the artists directly, but it was the changing of the wall and some of them were busy finishing up their artwork.
	The Best Tour in all of New York Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
	Sat, Jun 18, 05 11:00 AM	nieveMC	Unspecified	20-29	Domestic Tourist(s)	Individual
	My best time in New York , by far, was being a part of the Hip Hop Tour, Raheim (original member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five) was the illest tour guide I could ask for. The tour heightened my awareness and love for hip hop, not to mention giving me a glimpse inside a part of New York I might never of seen. If you are a true hip hop head, dont miss this tour ...it's a classic. --NIEVE
