So disappointing. There was literally no content. We were encouraged to “ make some noise” so often it was tiresome. Even when I asked the tour leader to explain a comment I got nothing. Total waste of time.

Mike was very knowable and he was a wonderful guide. I would recognize this tour to anyone who is a hip hop head or if you just wanna know more about hip hop

Tour guide expertly combines hip hop culture and the history of Harlem, with the real world reality of gentrification happening right in front of you. Very cool.
