This was an excellent walking tour of Harlem and Neil was an outstanding guide, answering all our questions along the way. The tour began by showing the group film clips of Malcolm X and Adam Clayton Powell. We walked through the streets and Neil pointed out the important sites and discussed how the community is changing. He explained what gentrification meant to the residents of Harlem. We walked through an African market, a housing project and a Presbyterian Church. He pointed out the mosque in which Malcolm X preached and a number of synagogues that are now churches. Of course, no tour of Harlem would be complete without showing the group the Apollo Theater and Sylvia’s.

The best walking tour I have ever been on. Neil is very knowledgeable and socially engaged. He is friendly, sincere and generous. He sees the bigger picture now and through time. Really appreciate the detail of his knowledge and how he weaves major historical events with his personal experiences and connections to Harlem. The tour is full of nuance and detail at just the right tempo.

Neal is so sweet and generous in his knowledge. He tailored the tour to fit our needs and interests. He knew so much about Harlem past and present and linked the info to our hometown Chicago. He was very accommodating and thoughtful. I am so glad we booked the tour. I feel like Harlem is a second home now.
