Harlem Hip-Hop walking tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Highly recommend the Harlem Hip-Hop walking tour. It explains the history of Harlem and the birth/rise of hip-hop. We had the very charismatic and energetic tour guide RayZa, a talented artist himself who performs brilliantly during the tour. If you’re in New York, a hip-hop fan or not, do the tour you won’t be disappointed! (Good luck in the UK RayZa, it was a pleasure to meet you).

Fun tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

Mike Z is an awesome tour guide. A hip hop artist himself, he is very knowledgeable of the genre and also of the neighborhood’s history. He knows how to keep the group interested with fun and curious stories.

You’ll get more than what you paid for. Do it!

Published on Oct, 2024

Such a great experience, especially with RayZa as our tour guide. I really loved his energy and his perspective on things. To top it off he is an amazing artist who freestyled on the spot with ease and impressive skill. I feel like I got more than I paid for, including a “gentrification education”. I learned so much about the origin and history of hip hop, the culture and the community. My only regret is that I didn’t do the tour earlier in the week so could have done the Brooklyn walking tour, which I didn’t know about until on the Harlem walking tour.

Hip Hop on Top

Published on Aug, 2024

The hip-hop tour begins as individuals and ends up as a hip-hop family. Our tour guide.RayZa is not only an amazing artist in his own, right but it’s extremely knowledgeable, caring, and informative when speaking about Harlem and hip-hop. It was a pleasure to be on tour with him and learn so much more about Harlem and the heart of Harlem. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to feel part of the hip-hop scene and New York City and Harlem. We will definitely be taking this tour again.

Hip Hop on Top

Published on Aug, 2024

Begin the tour as individuals and end up a hip-hop family. Our tour guide RayZa was not only informative and knowledgeable, but spoke from the heart. he gave you a sense of true hip-hop and what Harlem really speaks about. We will definitely tour again. Can’t wait to see you next time.
