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!!! More

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

Met our tour-guide, Hip Hop pionner and un-official Mayor of Harlem JDL, and took off on a two-hour walking tour of everything Hip-Hop. Learned about the... 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

As in the multi-dimensional and fresher look at New York City. If you want to experience a part of New York City culture that has had as much impact on the world as any other feature (hip-hop is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide) then you must take this tour.
