This was the best $50 I ever spent in New York! Rayza is an amazing guide, host, rapper and group motivator - simply enjoying his company was the tour already paying for itself. Not only could he tell stories about the city with spitting mad bars, he even got the locals in on the tour, and eventually the locals were striking conversations with us in the group and giving us their personal take on each of the sites we visited. Our awareness of the people's struggles with gentrification was also shown very clearly, and the tour does a good job of making you feel invested in the city even more. This tour satisfied so much in me - we danced, joked around, met people in the neighborhood, and all to the unique rhythm or Harlem's hustle and hiphop history. My New York trip would have just been some tourist cliche had I not booked this trip. Luvya Hush!

Reggie Reg was knowledgeable, professional, and had great energy. He was very personable. We started with a comprehensive video about New York. Then we went to parts of the museum and ended up in Harlem. The information we learned could only be gotten from a local, and it was what we were looking for. It was like getting two tours in one. People would stop him on the street to talk to him which was so cool. He makes it fun and interactive. Reggie Reg was the best. Highly recommend!
