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!
