Cons: Guide was a NO SHOW and was unable to get in contact with him until after contacting the 3rd party booking site. It would be nice to even write a review but we never even got a tour. No email, No phone call, No text nothing! Showed up to 104 Malcom X Blvd. to a closed center with no one there. Trip was ruined due to tour not happening had 9 (4 adults and 5 kids) very disappointed and let down clients who came to Harlem specifically to do this tour. Time and money down the drain! Go elsewhere!!! PLEASE I BEG YOU! The tour operator asked us to wait for TWO HOURS to be able to finish the tour. I guess the group that he had prior to us took priority over us?? It is still unclear to me why. I hope they thoroughly enjoyed the their tour. Pros: The operator tried to find another time to offer us the tour but at that point confidence in his services were lost by most in our group.

We humbly apologize for the tour not happening, we have given this a lot of thought and truly empathize with the reviewer, although we refunded money immediately and tried profusely to do tour later in the day, nothing bothers us more than not satisfying our customers, we will make adjustments ASAP to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

This tour was incredible. I learned so much. Harlem is the capital of Black America and to walk it is the best way to learn it.

Neal is a treasure. Such the gentlemen, he gives you a informative, entertaining, and thoughtful take on growing up in Harlem, along with the neighborhoods rich history and present issues. We even met and chatted with the famous fashion artists Dapper Dan and Louis Johnson, Jr., from Harlem Haberdashery. I did the civil rights tour, but he would be great in any tour. I hear the Sunday Gospel tour is quite popular!
