The Best Harlem Tours

Choose by route, pace and ticket

Harlem deserves more than a coach window. Look for routes that give the neighbourhood’s architecture, music and Black history enough room, with gospel experiences clearly separated from general walking tours.

“This tour was worth every penny! If you want the opportunity to see the "Real" NYC away from the bright lights and tall buildings, this is the perfect tour. Jorge is an amazing tour guide that provided such a rich experience of getting to know the city. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided such detailed information about not only what is listed on the description of the tour, but so much more. Hands down, the best tour guide I've ever had. Our driver Kevin was very professional, friendly, and navigated us safely throughout the city. Driving safely in NYC takes a special person, but to drive a big tour bus…”

3.5-hour coach tour tracing hip-hop roots from Harlem to the Bronx, with Grandmaster guides, Apollo sights, graffiti wall, and live culture.

“This was by far the funniest, most exciting tour I have ever done. Why? Because our guide, RayZa, is from the hood, knows everyone, everything and makes you want to dive deep into the Hip Hop culture. You don‘t only see milestone sights that were and are important for the scene but also get many many stories that make you go Wow! Of course it helps when you are affine to the music - but even if you don‘t (I‘m a Gen-X Metallica fan), you are blown away by the energy boost. And if you are lucky, like us, you walk away with new friends (my two Canadian hip hopsters)…”
