This was our final day in NYC and this tour did not disappoint! The guide knows Harlem and everyone on the street which made it very fun. Listen closely and you will gain insight into his love of Harlem and gain fantastic knowledge of the history of the area and its people. We had individuals from all over the world on our tour and everyone seemed to enjoy the enthusiasm and excitment the guide had for this place! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and getting to hear Yusef Salaam a member of the Exonerated Five speak at the Church was an unexpected highlight. I would highly recommend this tour! Harlem is a beautiful area with much history and beautiful architecture.

They say Gospel 😱 where. A few guys singing. Don't go here. Find yourself a better. Waste of money.

Our local guide Neil was fun to be with. Gave us a good feeling for Harlem and its history, in a fun manner typical of the local culture. The gospel mass was interesting and pleasant, and with the group you get priority and skip the line. There is an element of awareness of the presence of tourists, who are indeed explicitly welcomed, but you get a very good idea of the major role of the church in the community and the mass is authentic. Note: The tour description refers to a light breakfast, which didn’t materialize. Not a problem for us as we had our breakfast before the tour, but worth bearing in mind for planning purposes.
