Since we're from Connecticut and we pass through the Bronx often we opted for the Queens tour, and loved it! We did a private tour for my nephew's graduation and it was phenomenal! Grandmaster Caz and JDL were wonderful and very welcoming, they were able to keep the attention of 5 teenage boys for the length of the tour. They...

I will start off by saying that we had a brilliant time on the tour, we were in NYC for 10 days and it was the highlight of our trip. JDL and Caz are superb hosts, very entertaining and charismatic; they make the tour thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining. What is also great about this tour is that you will see...

I NEVER write reviews on things I do because I don't have time... But let's just say I made the time to write this one! I have been to NYC sooo many times, and I've done all of the other touristy activities (insert long yawn here) and let's just say this was a completely different experience! There was music the...

My sister found this tour and we chose it because we wanted to do something a bit different and she was into the hip hop scene in the 80s. We were entertained from the first minute and Grandmaster Caz is such a charismatic, funny and knowledgeable guide. We loved the graffiti, the dancing and touring through areas of New York...

We are sure Hush Tours are amazing which is why we booked a tour for our last day in NYC. We planned out our final day, leaving our hotel at 9:30am for breakfast and to check out some sights before making it to the meeting spot for the 3:30pm Hush Tour we had booked online. When we showed up, we...

I think it was great! It wasn't too basic, nor too advanced. Caz and JDL really kept it going for the whole trip. I learned much although I consider myself quite into the history of hiphop. It was great to visit the locations and feeling the history of hiphop throughout the whole tour. Even my girl, who isn't that into...

I went in July when it was hot. Thankfully not too much walking and standing in the sun. We went around in an air-conditioned minibus. I didn't know too much about hip-hop. I definitely walked away knowing a lot more about the hip hop culture, where it all started and grew and other expressions of hip-hop. Grandmaster Caz (and I...

By far the most entertaining, informative and authentically real New York tour out there (led by real Hip Hop pioneers like Grandmaster Caz). Even if you've never even heard of hip hop (and I doubt that), you won't regret or forget this experience. This is New York history like you've never heard it before! Did I mention how much fun...
