I went on this tour with my 11 year old daughter who loves Hip Hop. This was her favorite tour of the three that we took (other two not Hush Tours).. The tour guide (maybe Reggie Reg?) was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He watched after his group the entire time. It was fun and fantastic tour....but a bit too short....wish we could have seen more! I would definitely recommend this tour for all ages!

I went on the "Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour" with Reggie Reg from the Crash Crew as the tour guide. The tour was entertaining, gave me a lot of knowledge about Hip Hop, the history of New York, particularly Harlem. Reggie was a great tour guide, who also gave local knowledge, from artists who came from Harlem and history of the environment. I got to soak up the Harlem vibe and went a great restaurant that was recommended by Reggie Reg.

Our tour was hosted by Johnny Famous. His skills as guide are rather disappointing, though. Dropped us off at the sights, made photos, but shared no inside info. The breakdancer who showed us moves at Biggie's courts was the absolute highlight of our tour. Had more to say in five minutes than Johnny Famous in three hours!
