We had a great time at the tour! Uncle Reggie Reg was our host - he was amazing!!! Good stuff! We did the Harlem walking tour, even as a hip hop artist myself, and for a German hip hop crew, this tour took us back and schooled us on one of the most imperative elements of hip hop: knowledge! If you are in NYC - definitely do this tour - this tour set the tone for a GREAT hip hop trip in the birthplace of hip hop in America, New York City.

This tour was the best guided sightseeing tour I've ever experienced. The guides Grandmaster Caz and Rayza were doing a great job - it was informative, funny and most of all it was so obvious that they love what they do and that hiphop is not only music to them but their way of life. For a big hiphop fan like myself this was heartwarming to see and I had an amazing time. I also want to point out that you get to see such interesting landmarks - nothing a "normal tourist" would get to see. To me riding through Spanish Harlem was the best part of it. Don't think about booking this tour - just do it!! You will love it for sure.

I took a Mentorship group of teens, tweens, and adults on this Tour this past Saturday. Our tour guide, Reggie, was engaging, knowledgeable, and very skilled at working with children. It's so hard to find that combination, and it was much appreciated by our group. We learned all about break dancing (breaking) from BBoy Spyderman, who was such a talented performer and teacher. The kids absolutely loved learning to dance together. Everyone was so impressed with the Tour and we had so much fun! Thank you, HUSH Tours, for a wonderful afternoon! Highly recommend.
