Great experience - Razor was awesome - always on, being the absolute best MC. The tour really takes you to all the different places in NYC, so you get a great overview of this history of hip hop. They also had a breaker come demonstrate some moves, which was really fun!

Greatest Tour ever to the Birthplace of Hip Hop - Harlem & The Bronx! - The 3-hour tour through the history of hip hop was the best during my New York vacation. The guide, a New York MC, has told great background stories about the places visited. In addition, he was able to entertain people perfectly with his way! During the bus trips, an ingenious soundtrack ran. For friends of hip-hop culture, or pop culture, this tour is a must and a clear recommendation! Gladly again! Best regards from Germans.

One of the best things to do in NYC. - This was probably the best thing we did in NYC. The guide is just great - so much positive energy, knowledge about hh culture and skill at rapping! I and my teenage kids (all big hh fans) and even my wife (less of a hh fan) were supper happy with the tour. Highly recommended!

Fun tour through Hip Hop History - The tour was a lot of fun and guide Rayza was very energetic. The tour group was global bunch with folks from US, Europe, Canada, UK and New Zealand. There were frequent photo stops and a good break dancing demo. The bus was very comfortable. I just wish the group photos were sent to the ticket holders instead of having to check Instagram. Very enjoyable tour. Recommended!

Hush The Birthplace of Hip Hop Tour - Hush The Birthplace of Hip Hop Tour. A decent tour 3hrs, but at ÂŁ65 each, expensive for what it is. The tour guides are MC's and ex MC's so adds authenticity. We had rayzr. He had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, but at times it could be a bit to much. We had the bus tour. So first stop is Harlem the Graffiti Hall of Fame and Rucker Park Basketball Court Harlem. I was more interested in the early days of Hip Hop not the more modern day artists. So for me I would of rathered seeing more old school stuff. We went to Sedgewick Avenue and a few murals in the Bronx, but felt we should of seen a lot more here than we did. Razyr is only young, so he wasn't involved when I was into the early stuff in the 80s. He also came over very friendly but think its quite fake. He asked us to come to his gig in London , so we swapped numbers. But after briefly seeing him in Crotona park later on. He never responded after that. I mean why say things you dont mean. Very odd. Also the bits where you are made to participate in breakdancing and rapping. Think for some that could be embarrassing, and that part should be voluntary. As not everyone wants to do it. Especially trying to breakdance on basketball court in Harlem that the ladies of the night had used, we a used condom on the floor at the time and it smelt of urine. We did enjoy but ÂŁ65 each it was very pricy for what it was.
