We loved the civil rights tour through Harlem! Our guide Neil is so personable and a very engaging storyteller. We learned so much about the civil rights (and other) history of Harlem. My teenage son was fascinated with it - one of the highlights of our trip to NYC! Would definitely recommend!

I was in NYC for 5 days and I can truly say that this tour was the highlight of my trip!!! So much history in this area. My tour guide, Neal, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He’s a native of Harlem and made me feel right at home. He answered all of my questions with great detail and patience. I plan on coming back to visit again and will definitely be booking another tour!!! You should too!!
