Amazing - Hush tour was an absolute blast! From start to finish, it's a journey through the beats, rhymes, and culture that define hip hop. Expert guides, banging beats, and iconic stops make for an unforgettable ride. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just curious, this tour is a must. Rayza was soo knowledgeable and enthusiastic, he is the living definition of hip hop culture embracement. I loved when he freestyled, that was amazing!!

Where hiphop started, great experience - We has an excellent guide, who has worked in the hiphop scene for years. We saw all the places where hiphop started. It was well organized with great stops. We took many pictures.

A Hip Hop tour de force! - What a great tour - probably the best thing we did in our 5 days in NYC. Mike C and RayZa were incredible hosts; original, legit, knowledgable and superb MCs! We had our 14 year olds with us (who listen to hip hop) and both hosts were mindful of their age. They were so passionate about hip hop and even more passionate that we understood and remembered the information they provided. Our favourite was the breakdancing class (don’t worry - it was dead easy!) but to be honest even cruising in the bus listening to hip hop and hearing Mike / RayZa’s stories was just great. Only feedback is a wee bit more time at Sedgwick Ave would have been nice but it’s a very minor point across a superb tour.

Birth of Hip-Hop Bus Tour - Amazing!!! I surprised my fiancé with this tour since he’s a big hip-hop head, and he loved it! I loved it as well. He even rapped a couple bars on the bus. Rayza and Mike C were the absolute best. Keep doing what yall are doing because it’s important! August 11th!

Best tour ever - I had a blast today with Rayza, we learned a lot about the NY Hip hop culture, he is full of energy and he really involved us! I felt part of a group and I've really enjoyed my time with Hush tours. If you like Hip hop and you are in NY you have to take this tour! You won't regret it :)

Spend the Day With HUSH Tours - Without a doubt, a must see tour! Ask for Rayza - the best hip hop guide to get all of the history, back stories and in depth knowledge you need. Our family of six drove from Garfield Heights and Lakewood, OH just to take the tour with Rayza. Debra made sure we got our tickets and directions, and even made suggestions about parking. Once we settled into this sold out tour, we went to so many iconic places (excellent driver, btw), talked about so many originators and innovators - and listened to great music in between. What a fun day. Thanks, Debra and Rayza, it was a great experience!

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!

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.
