Thursday, 31 August 20063 min read

A new Harlem tour in New York City offers what it calls unprecedented access to the US’s hip-hop culture that has inspired performers such as 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Juelz Santana.

The tour includes “meet and greet” stops with hip-hop artists in musical studios and clubs, as well as tours of the legendary Apollo Theater.

Participants ride in stretch Hummer limousines.

“Until now, the Harlem hip-hop scene was considered unchartered territory for residents and would-be travelers to New York City,” said H3 Tours in a news release.

“H3 Tours removes fears, stereotypes and access barriers to offer hip-hop enthusiasts from all walks of life a rare opportunity for a safe and unique Harlem experience,” the release added.

H3’s tours include teaching participants hip-hop dancing.

The tours are operated year-round from Monday through Saturday. They can be customized to meet individual groups.
