The video explanation part at the beginning was really interesting The guide comments during the tour were limited and the city tour very short. The stop at the Apollo theater was made upon our request and the visit was only limited to the theater entrance

The tour we received did not match up fully with the description. Neal, the tour guide and Harlem native, was friendly and knowledgeable. But there was no video or multimedia presentation. The Cultural Center is an old storefront that was kind of junky, although there were some large historical photos and quotes on the walls. The restroom needed some attention. Unfortunately, it was hard to hear and understand the tour guide because of his mask. It seemed like many of the sites we visited were famous for being in movies that mostly weren't even civil rights history. We ended at the Apollo Theater but we only could see the lobby, not that interesting. Neal did give us a good recommendation for a soul food restaurant nearby, and we liked that very much.

I learned so much about the Civil Rights history of Harlem along with fascinating aspects of its economic and cultural history. A great experience. Neal knows the community so well.
