The gospel mass was very touristic, half of the church were tourists seeing the mass so it was like a show more than a mass

The tour was not as advertised. There was no light breakfast as advertised or multimedia experience, entrance to the heritage centre or storage. The church service and choir were good, but the tour guide was difficult to understand. His information was jumbled and quite incoherent.

Response from Host

Nov 2022

The reviewer is harassing us, she previously wrote a review that was untrue and totally disrespectful to our employee and business, she then requested refund and we gave it to her, then she demanded a refund for her friend who we received no complaint from. We gave her friend a refund, traveler then removed scandalous review, now she writes this review. We always apologize when we are wrong, but this is a case of traveler using reviews as a weapon to hurt and harm and that’s just not right.

Interesting experience to learn a little about Harlem and about the baptist practices. August 7 we could see the annual christening party at the street. Very impressive.
