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.

Our tour guide George took us on a fascinating journey through a part of Harlem. He provided us with historical information as well as recent developments. Our two teenagers could not get enough (neither could we), they would have done a five hour tour with George as well. Our apartment was in Harlem and it was very enriching to learn about the place we were staying.
