RayZa was the perfect guide for our hip hop tour experience. He was energetic and very personable. You can feel his passion for hip hop and the culture as a whole as he described Harlem's history and the current state of the neighborhood. I went on this tour with two of my kids (ages 8 & 16)and they both had a blast. I will definitely recommend this experience to anyone I know is planning on visiting the city.

It was great to walk through the Harlem neighborhood and see how it is changing and evolving. The tour was mostly verbal as there is not much hip-hop sites to see anymore because the culture is changing in Harlem.

Rayza gave us an animated tour full of information about Harlem and Hip Hop culture. He gave everybody an Hip Hop 101 and even added some information for the more adept. Definetely recommend the tour for anyone going to NYC.
