Very educational. I really learned a lot. Neal was very knowledgeable about the subjects. He was able to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend anyone visiting the area to take the tour.

I can't name one part that was best because the entire tour from beginning to end was superb! We started with casual conversation about the the history of Harlem then our tour guide, Neal Shoemaker, proceeded with fabulous video history, some of which I had never seen. We walked many blocks, the weather was great, not to hot at all. Neal is very knowledgeable of the city, the people and the history of Harlem. We met historical people from Harlem, ventured in the local shops, Haberdasheries and complexes. A superb tour Neal! I learned something new that I will read about, and your approach on the tour with the lecture, video and the walk were on point! It was nice meeting Gator as well! Good luck with all your awesome plans for Harlem! I can't wait to return to Harlem for another of Harlem Heritage Tours, so many to choose from.

This was by far the worst tour I have ever been on. There was no history given as stated in the overview. He said his office was closed and there was no films to watch. He took us to his mothers house?? During the tour, he stopped at a store saying he will be right back he had to go get something. Then, when it was FINALLY over at Apollo, he said this is the Apollo and the end of your tour. The absolute worst tour and the one tour I was looking forward to the most.
