Highly recommended and informative tour of Harlem. Carolyn and Jonathan are wonderful people and we had a great last day in New York with them. Attending a Gospel church during this tour was definitely a highlight of our trip. Thank you Carolyn and Jonathan 😉

I enjoyed walking thru the park where Summer of Soul was filmed. I loved the vendors selling vintage books. I am excited that a Contemporary African American Art Museum is under construction and a large hotel. I loved being able to see the Empire State Building from Harlem. I wish the brunch offered Soul Food, but it didn’t.

This tour was excellent. Carolyn was so knowledgeable and fun. I didn't realize how little I knew about Harlem. Church service was inspirational and the local restaurant we went to was so good. This experience should not be missed...the highlight of my New York trip.
