| What can I say...this tour was just completely excellent. Grandmaster Caz was so engaging, so personable, so knowledgable. The other people working on the tour were great too.
To see the projects and other landmarks that I had previously only seen in hip-hop videos...incredible. The soul food lunch was delicious. Another thing about this tour is you see a lot of cool things besides hip-hop landmarks during the bus ride, like Central Park, Apollo Theatre, etc. The history of Harlem was undeniable.
Anyway, to wrap up, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Interesting, comfortable, entertaining...this tour had it all. |

| This tour is the most interesting tour I ever experienced. I'm really interested in the hiphopculture en Grandmaster and his pioneers tell you all you wanna know. The graffity wall of fame is really spectacular and what I liked the most was that it was interesting for any typ of person, even if you don't like hiphop at all. People, you gotta experience this.

| I highly recommend this tour for hip hop fans, music afficionados and culture seekers of all types. This tour is not just about music - it is about history, and to have the legends, the historians who were there lead the tour is what makes it most special. My tour guide, Grandmaster Caz, was (and is) the real thing and absolutely made the entire experience worthwhile. The stories and sites focus on the origins of hip hop and don't go past the early 1980s too too much. If you're not already schooled in the "old school," you might not understand the relevance of some of the tour stops, but fortunately, this tour inspires you to dig deeper and learn more about the history. I enjoyed myself so much that next time I'm in NY, I plan to take the tour AGAIN and bring a friend! djsoulsister |

| I am going to recommend this tour to anyone I know visiting NY, there is such a stigma attached to places like Harlem and its a shame. The tour was excellent and put together with great enthusiasm. Grandmaster Caz made the tour what it was, well worth it.... |

| We thought this was an amazing tour. It was a great introduction for us to New York, the birthplace of Hip Hop.
Grandmaster Caz knew what he was talking about because he was there, he lived it.
If you want the low down on the birth of Hip Hop in New York, this is the tour to check out.
Big thanks to Caz and Debra for making this an awesome tour! |

| The Hip Hop Tour led by Pioneering Legends of Rap was GREAT! You do not only see and hear hip hop, but you feel it with your own body. By experiencing this tour, you are able to get a new, deeper look into Hip Hop. Can't expereince it any where else! |

| My expectations for the tour were exceeded above and beyond. I gained alot of information and alot of issues were clarified in terms of the true birthplace of Hip Hop.
I was ecxcited and at the same time disappointed because the tour couldn't last for another 4 hours. Everywhere we went had a history, a purpose, and a voice. GrandMaster Caz and Debra were professional and polite.
They showed us love, we felt so comfortable and because of this, we have embraced the history Hip Hop alittle more. Anyone visiting NYC should take this tour because not only is it about a cuture that was derived from a time when people were discouraged from having any culture, this tour provides a sense of open-mindedness for life and how something such as Hip Hop has caressed the hearts of individuals from Finland to Scotland.
It was a pleasure talking and vibing with one of the Pioneers of Hip Hop and an honor to share his spirit.
Much respect and Blessings,
Kweilin and Dave |
