Rayza was a fantastic tour guide! - We had an incredible experience with Hush Tours! Our guide, Rayza, was fantastic—he kept us entertained the entire time while sharing fascinating insights into New York's hip hop history. We visited so many iconic spots, and Rayza's knowledge and enthusiasm made the 3-hour tour fly by. John, our driver, was not only a safe and skilled driver but also shared some historical tidbits along the way—and we later found out he's the owner! I can't recommend this tour enough for anyone who wants a fun, informative, and unique look at New York's hip hop culture.

Best Wedding Anniversary Ever! This Tour was the Truth! - This is the best tour I've ever experienced. It really exposes the beauty of Hip Hop and the tour guides, Rayza and Tuffy, were simply top notch. They know ALL things Hip Hop and my wife and I felt like we were those giddy kids back in Junior High in 1988 when we fell in love with Hip Hop. Hush Tours, thank you you for representing the Culture and keeping Hip Hop alive. Your VIPs (Michael and Shelice)

Hip Hop Justice - Mike C was a knowledgeable, energetic, and awesome tour guide. Learned quite a bit of the elements & history of hip hop, cinematic trivia, and the appreciation for Harlem, the Bronx, & NYC.🫶 Thank you!

Okay but too many group photos - I was looking forward to this tour but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Pros: Nice people and a couple of cool stops like 106 & Park with the Breaker and the Apollo. Cons: Way too ambitious and too loud. It was the nonstop yelling on the mic in the bus that gave me a headache. We stopped at so many places where we were told to get off take a group picture and get back on the bus. Felt like we were only there as content for the Hush Instagram. Recommendations: Take out some of the stops, especially the basketball court. Add more info and time at the Apollo. Cut down on some of the talking/yelling and if you're gonna yell don't use a mic, or if you use a mic don't yell. Finally the forced group picture taking everywhere was annoying and disruptive. We weren't allowed to just be in the moment.

Bus tour - Nice to see the neighborhoods of Harlem and the Bronx and hear the stories about the origins of hip hop. It is annoying that every time they had to pose for a group photo. And a pity that in the end there was not so much to see and hardly any music to hear.
