We were supposed to meet up at the Heritage Center. No Multimedia Show as advertised- went straight to the church, were we just waited. We went to church, the gospel wasn’t present. Our guide seemed to go missing while we were in there, he repeated himself, and honestly he was more interested in greeting other people. We left early, as it seemed unorganised. Also we cancelled a trip last year due to illness, and they told us, we could get a refund. We never did.

I booked this tour for 3 people on september 10th. We were supposed to redeem our tickets at the Harlem Heritage Tourism and Cultural Center at 9:00, with the tour supposedly starting at 9:15 with a light breakfast, and time to relax in the Cultural Center. We were several people waiting (around 10-15), until the guide arrives at 9:30. After some talk outside, we went straight to the Canaan Baptist Church nearby for Church service starting at 10:00. We left the church around 11:15. After that (and some historical stories told by the guide on the sidewalk) we decided to leave the tour. The bad weather was part of our decision, but the way it started (late, no apparent organization, no breakfast and Cultural Center visit) didn't enticed us to continue the tour.

They did not show up, they did not email us about the tour being cancelled, when we got someone to call them after waiting for 15 minutes, they said it was cancelled and we could come back tomorrow. Not that we would have taken the train again for one hour to do a Harlem tour but as can be expected when working with tourist we were leaving NY the next day. They don't reply to my email in which I was asking for a refund. Ofcourse they don't need any emails or phone calls to refund a trip they did not show up in. They should just apologise and refund the trip! I would totally have understood that something came up and things went wrong but to continue it like they are doing by not refunding the tour is a bit lame. We walked around Harlem and tasted some Sole Food at Silvia restaurant which was a tasty experience
