Loved the tour. Very entertaining and a personal approach. The trip I went on there were only two others and it was still very enjoyable. Tour guide was fantastic and very enthusiastic.

This was excellent although the time that Viator gave us for the Walk was wrong, we were told 11.00am on Wednesday but when they didn't show up I rang to be told that the Tour wasn't until 1.00pm couldn't hang around so organised it for the next day which was 1.30pm. We met our guide "Reggie" and he gave us a great walk and showed us all around Harlem and gave us a good insight to Harlem, took us to Apollo Theatre and had a brief look around and then was very helpful in getting us back to our hotel. Very enjoyable except for the mixup with times as we had to get a taxi to the meeting point as didn't quite know where to go and this was a little costly but it worked out in the end and we were told we could get there by bus the next day

Despite the cold, rainy day, the tour was great. The tour guide, JDL Wilson was the real deal. He was extremely knowledgeable, and was happy to answer any and all questions, making the tour interactive and fun!

It was excellent to have our own guide and this made it a very personal experience. Our guide was not only knowledgeable, he had first-hand experience of the real roots of hip-hop, was funny and friendly. The places we visited were interesting - the Graffiti Hall of Fame, community gardens etc - and not touristy. We got to see some of the streets and sites of everyday Harlem with an entertaining guide. Two hours was perhaps a little long, but that may have been because it was 90 degrees !
