This tour was well worth it! A lot of walking but such an amazing experience to learn so much about Hip Hop & Harlem. Highly recommend :)
Great Tour
Michelle_P, Mar 2022
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!
Amazing

Don’t Miss This Historical Treat

The most memorable parts of the tour were Spanish Harlem and Black Lives Matter. Reggie is a hip hop historian and is able to transport you back to that place in time as he shares the stories of hip hop history.
Interesting
Caitlin_M, Sep 2021
We joined this tour as a couple. One of us learned a lot. One of us knew a lot already. The neighborhood cultural stuff was the coolest, especially the graffiti wall of fame and the Malcolm X stuff. I would’ve liked a few more hip hop sites.

Barbara B, Jan 2017
This tour focused more on the history and sites of Harlem, more so than Harlem's connection to Hip Hop. The guide was friendly and accommodating, and managed to answer most of the questions from the group, however the information given lent more towards responses from questions about hip hop from the group, rather than an informed tour of Harlem and its specific relations to Hip Hop the only thing relevant on the tour was some graffiti art I gave this tour a 3, as despite it not being relevant to Hip Hop, the guide did give the group a guide to Harlem itself and its history, so for this it was worth it, as I had an interest in Harlem.

Aseye N, Dec 2016
Great, Reggie was amazing with lots of charisma and energy. Think it could have been a bit cheaper but overall was still great and I learnt lots about the New York Hip-Hop and African American scene.

Ellen D, Jul 2016
The tour was fun and informative. Reggie Reg guided us around Harlem and shared his personal knowledge and experiences with us. He showed us photos, played us music and even sang for us. He was friendly and engaging throughout the tour and happy to answer all of our questions. There was plenty of time to stop and take photos and talk about what we were seeing. In the high heat and humidity, this relaxed pace was welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and am eager to return to Harlem on my next visit to NYC.
