Harlem was a real surprise for me, what a beautiful area with such an interesting history and future. The walking tour was leisurely and informative and the church service was uplifting. Perfect mix of sights and information and lunch was scrumptious.

Our tour guide was lovely. She walked us around Harlem and gave us a great insight into the area. Church was fun. Lunch was also great. My only recommendation would be to allow more time to stay in Harlem as there is lots to see.

This is a great tour. Our Guide was Carolyn and we were a smaller group of only 5 including her. Even though the weather on the Sunday morning we went was freezing we had a coffee break an hour in and then the church service so we were able to get out of the elements. The tour culminates at the Baptist Church where many other tourist groups also meet. The service itself is broken into two sections so the service only takes an hour at most. From there we went to lunch at the Sexy Taco - about a 10 minute walk from the church. This was included in the price and the mexican food was very good. So if you are looking for a safe and enjoyable way of spending a Sunday morning in Harlem book this tour.
