Great Hip Hop tour - I did this tour with my teenage son.
It is an excellent tour exploring the origins of Hip Hop in Harlem and the Bronx with Mike narrating on this day.
Mike is a Hip Hop artist and lived through that era so his depth of knowledge was second to none. His energy and humour was contagious making it a wonderful experience.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in Hip Hop and the history of Harlem.

Super cool, 100% recommended to do! - Great experience! Mike was a super fun storyteller, he brought a lot of ulcer to the group and could talk about bronx/harlem and hip hop with a lot of passion. Really cool to do and fun because they are how the music / dance plays a role within the culture. By chance I also ran into the granddaughter of one of the celebrities and listened to a story of hers!

AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE - The family and I thoroughly enjoyed the Birthplace of Hip-Hop Tour, which took us through the Bronx and Harlem.
Our tour guides, John and RayZa did an incredible job of explaining what the landscape was like back in the 70's, 80's and 90's, showing us the important landmarks and answering our many questions.
I strongly recommend Hush Tours to anyone who wants to learn more about the origin and progression of Hip-Hop culture.
BIGGG love to Debra, John, Monique and RayZa for an unforgettable experience.

Loved this hip hop tour and so did my 13 year old daughter. - So happy we signed up for this cool hip hop tour.. The main tour guy RayZa is super energetic, professional and knowledgeable. He’s a rapper himself and he’s talented.
We had a great time, covered a lot of territory and learned a whole lot about hip hop music.
