Harlem Hip-Hop Tours Celebrates Black Culture in New York City
New York, New York (PRWEB) May 30, 2007 -- Harlem Hip- Hop Tours (H3Tours), a premier tour company based in New York City, has launched a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors, offering customized activities around New York City that immerse guests into Harlem's culture and New York's hip-hop scene.
H3 Tours' new suite of Black Culture Tours allows, participants to explore African-American culture in New York. Guests can choose from a variety of activities such as, visiting Harlem's historic attractions (e.g. the Cotton Club, Apollo Theater and Striver's Row), touring popular recording studios used by many established hip-hop artists, and taking hip-hop dance lessons.
The Black Culture Tour packages also give visitors an inside look into the latest in hip-hop fashion in New York City, as well as the opportunity to experience a variety of African-American hairstyles at one of Harlem's top beauty salons. Additionally, tour guests can take a "slanguage" class where they learn the meaning and pronunciation of the latest slang used in black culture and hip-hop today. Guests can even round out their cultural experience by requesting a night on Broadway to see Fantasia in the much celebrated African-American musical, "The Color Purple."
"We want to give visitors unprecedented access into African-American culture and way of life in New York City," said Adrienne Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of Harlem Hip -Hop Tours. "We hope that these tours will encourage a newfound understanding of a culture that millions of people around the world are fascinated by and embrace."
Pricing for the Black Culture Tours ranges from $30-$90 per person. In addition to these tours, Harlem Hip-Hop Tours also offers Premium and School tours. The Premium tours cater towards groups of friends and family visiting New York City who are looking to spend a day being transported in stretch limousines and receiving VIP treatment at each tour destination. H3 Tours' School tours are more educational in nature and teach students and youth groups about the history of Harlem, its landmarks and economic revival, as well as providing a behind-the-scenes peak at New York's hip-hop industry for those aspiring to be the next rapper, producer, or record executive.
Harlem Hip-Hop Tours was founded by two Columbia Business School grads and residents of New York City, Adrienne Smith and Shannon White, who endeavored to fill a void that New York City tourism lacked - an authentic taste of New York's Harlem and hip-hop culture.
Harlem Hip-Hop Tours operates Monday through Saturday, year-round, and all tour packages are conducted in English or the native language of tour guests. For more information about the Black Culture Tours and other packages, please visit www.harlemhiphoptours.com.
