| Our tour guide Reggie Reg was funny, congenial and a living history of Hip Hop! The tour began at the Museum of New York City and the video history of New York provided a good introduction to the tour. Reggie was open to any and all questions and suggestions. In particular we enjoyed the real experience of Reggie, he grew up in the community - Harlem and Hip Hop and it is clear that he is passionate about both. We found the heat a bit daunting and would've loved to have dined at the restaurant we visited at the end of the tour, but we were too hot and tired to indulge! We will return! Thanks Reggie! |

| My son and I took this tour after I read about it on line. I'm not a hip hop fan but knew my son listened to it often. We both enjoyed it very much. Me as new to the music and learning to appreciate it's background and importance to it's fans. My son as learning about the history and development of some of his favorite artists.
Our tour guide John did a great job and made the walk very interesting. And fun.
We agreed that during our next trip to NYC we will take the whole day bus tour and see even more next time. |

| Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. We learned quite a bit about the origins of hip hop and about Harlem. Problems with the mike as I saw on previous reviews. |

| John was terrific. I brought 4 Ca. friends, basically four demanding "president" types. All chiefs, no indians. He sized up the situation very accurately and was able to keep them all happy -- practically an impossiblity. I've known these ladies for 37 years. and this was not an easy task. I, as a musician, loved learning what he said about Hip Hop, something all of us classicists have a hard time understanding. I would very much like to know of a very good tour to hear Gospel singing and some of the the musicians John told me lead your tours. Pls. write me about these. |

| Hey folks,
you have already seen the empire state building, 42nd, the statue of liberty, the Met? Allright then the Harlem Walking tour might be just right for you. It brings you back to the roots of Hip Hop. Our tour guide had a lot of Charims, was always open for questions and new A LOT! Explore Harlem and Hip Hop, I would fully recommend this unusual NYC experience.

| Actually, to tell you the truth it isnt so much about visiting places, even though you see some really cool and great things (which are a must),
My host, hip hop pioneer Reggie Reg, was really cool, and fun to be with, what he said was more 'before my time' (Im 14)- my dad knew what he was talkin about! It was interesting, all of what he said, its all realy about wat he says. You should really experience this, whether you addicted to hip hop like me or just enjoy learning about that music.

| This is a fun thing to do in NY and my ten year old son particularly enjoyed it. However, it does rely on the energy of the rest of the group to be really successful - which is something out of the hands of the tour guide. On our tour were approximately 20 people from a group, plus myself , my son and two others. I did feel that the large group overwhelmed the tour, excluded others and monopolized the tour. If you are in a group made up of friendly individuals/couples/families you'll have fun. That said though, Reggie Reg was great - if a little unprepared regarding his batteries (as mentioned by another person's review who was in this group), and I really feel that the film at the Museum of the City of New York was superfluous to the tour. It was great to see interesting historical sights of Harlem, especially BOBBY (it wasn't Smokey) ROBINSON'S Harlem Happy House record store, Malcolm X Mosque and the Graffitti wall of fame. An interesting way to while away a Sunday afternoon. |
