What a fantastic tour with an even more fantastic guide!! George was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had - and we’ve done a lot of walking tours, especially in New York. He was so so knowledgable about Harlem and happy to answer any question we had, which he did with great enthusiasm! The pace was good, we saw some great sights which we wouldn’t have seen otherwise and would recommend this tour to anyone. Request George as your guide if you can :)

I highly recommend this tour! After a few busy days in downtown Manhattan, this was a welcome retreat into beautiful Harlem, with its history and its character. George is an amazing tour guide who is not only very knowledgeable, but also very approachable and kind. I learned a lot today, and would do more tours with George if I had the time.
