Reggie Reg hosted the tour my son and I went on, great to be shown round by a real authentic Hip Hop artist! He shredded light on his experience as the hip-Hop world was just starting out and gave his take on what’s happened to Hip-Hop since. Great character who brought it to life. Be warned for a potential light hearted grilling as he’s prone to putting people on the spot, but if you’re willing to not take yourself too seriously you’ll have a great time. An added bonus was seeing the video that describes the development of NYC through the ages, at the City of New York museum, where the tour starts.

Went on the tour with my husband and two daughters. My husband and I are both in our 40s, big hip hops fans - and remember the birth of the music and culture. It was so awesome to see and touch the elements that mean so much to us. The tour guide and special guest were phenomenal. They brought hip hop history and culture to life in every part of the tour. If you want to know what REAL hip hop is, take this tour!!!!
