Austin was a fabulous tour guide. His energy and passion for hip hop’s history and culture made for a most fun, interesting and educational tour! His explanation of gentrification and its effects was vivid. We would definitely recommend him and this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Harlem and its past and present!

As a fan of hip hop, I was very interested in this tour and what I could learn. Rayza is a very energetic and engaging guide, as well as being very knowledgeable about everything Harlem and hip hop. Would recommend 100% to every hip hop fan and also to everyone who wants to learn about the rich history in Harlem.

The tour was actually AWFUL! We we went directly into a 20 minute movie. The guide left us waiting for him 15 minutes after. Then it rained very hard after about 3 blocks. We all went under a shelter full of rats. After that we decided the tour was busted and time to go. Hush offered us to join the tour again the next day. Then the guide, Reggie Reg, tried to sell us $20 hats. I called Hush Tours and left a message. No call back yet. Reggie Reg was very nice in a SUPER CREEPY WAY!🥺
