An absolute must for anyone in New York- this tour is amazing for both tourists and locals! Gives you a great idea of not just the birthplace of hip hop, but other culturally important and relevant places that hold important pieces of history! Our guide was amazingly energetic, talented, and knowledgeable. I even brought my parents (who have limited interest or experience with hip hop) and they learned a ton, enjoyed their time, and definitely didn’t feel ou of place at all. I did the Harlem tour this trip, but I will absolutely be doing the Brooklyn tour on my next visit. Seriously do yourself a favour and book this tour!

The tour guide was the best and he kept the group hype while dropping so many gems. The tour even kept my daughter who can care less about hip hop entertained.
-
The guide was so informative about Harlem and its culture. I loved it! The tour gets a 10/10. I wish we could’ve done more with them but I will recommend it
-
Harlem is a place that I’ve always wanted to visit, but never found the opportunity to do so. This tour was so much more than a tour. Our tour guide is himself a hip-hop artist and he not only immersed us in the history of Harlem but shared his own musical experiences and constantly burst out in to song as we went along. There was a brilliant surprise halfway through and although the tour was scheduled for two hours, he took it upon himself to extend that substantially for those interested. I honestly cannot recommend this enough….book it!
-
Despite the heavy, heavy rain everyone stayed in high spirits because of our guide Mighty Mike C who from the off made it enjoyable, personable and educational. My highlight is that I'll never forget when Hip-Hop was born: August 11th 1973. "Am I right?"
-
Great walking tour of some important neighbourhoods with a lot of culture and history. Our guide was knowledgeable and super engaging, performing original pieces as well as some classics and freestyling too! Definitely recommend for an authentic NY experience away from the tourist traps of midtown and downtown.

This was one of the best, if not the best things we did in New York. RayZa was amazing and the whole tour was inspiring, educational and so much fun. I’ll be recommending this to everyone! It’s a must-do!
-
This was a great tour. I went with my 23 year old son who LOVED! What made it even more enjoyable was our tour guide Rayza. He loves his job and made it so much fun even in the rain. Definitely book your tour with him. He has so much incredible energy and is very knowledgeable about Harlem as well as Hip Hop!

We expected to learn some history but learning some break dance moves was fun and unexpected. Mike C was a great tour guide with authentic street cred. He gave us the unknown facts and showed us some key landmarks. It was a great way to see Harlem.
