My wife and I did this tour on Valentines day and it was THE highlight of our trip. We were hosted by none other than the legendary MC Casanova Fly and literally sat transfixed by the stories he told about the origins of the music, the original giants of the genre and his own personal journey into the music. Others have been critical that the tour focuses on Harlem and The Bronx and not enough about the music. We did not find that to be the case. It is was very clear that to understand the origins of Hip-Hop, you need to understand these two boroughs of the city and their past. Our guide did this with immense wit, love and pride.
If you are a music lover or even if you're not, take this tour. Enjoy the music, the company and the ride. It's the best thing we did in the city.
