We hebben de "Walk this Way" tour gedaan in Harlem & Bronx. Mike Cee was onze gids, een enorme aanrader! Je ziet op 2u tijd zeer veel bezienswaardigheden en krijgt veel verhalen en feiten mee van de gids, ook niet hiphop gerelateerde verhalen (vb. de moskee van Malcolm X, de kerk van Martin Luther King en bepaalde jazzclubs). Zeker een must als je in New York bent!

We just returned to the UK from a first time 7 night trip to NYC. We had Harlem and Bronx on our intinery but when we saw Hush tours advertised on Google, we booked us onto the Harlem Walking tour. The tour was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The tour was led by the legendary Mighty Mike Cee and his lovely cousin, who provided a great musical backdrop throughout the route and was very helpful. Mike has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Harlem, not only the hip hop scene but more generally, and he provided us with tons of information on all the sites of historical interest in the neighbourhood. He is such a talented and articulate story teller, and we did not want to miss a single word! We stopped off for photo shoots next to a backdrop of gorgeous graffiti, he even let us stop off for a quick coffee break, very considerate. I mean it when I say that this was probably the highlight of our entire trip to NYC. And that’s saying a lot because we had a truly magnificent holiday from start to finish. My only regret is that due to our schedule, we were unable to book onto the longer Bronx/Harlem tour. But honestly, I thoroughly recommend you make this a must-do on your NYC trip.
One thing: please do remember to take cash to tip your hosts. We did, but the others who came on the tour (who were also late) didn’t, that is just really not good manners because for a tour of this standard, and a one of a kind tour at that, you really should take a tip to show your appreciation, even if it’s only a few dollars.
Myself and my husband would like to convey our gratitude to Mike and all at Hush tours for making our trip so special. We recommend this tour 100%.
