Our tour guide was excellent. He gave a real, enthusiastic and optimistic guide of Harlem. I learned a great deal ad am excited to share. The worship service is exactly what I needed. It lifted my spirits. I would recommend to all. It is well worth the money.

Neil, the tour guide, was able to get us into the Canaan Baptist church although they weren’t allowing visitors due to COVID. It was a great experience. Neil is clearly well versed in Harlem history and was able to answer questions eloquently and thoroughly. This was my second Harlem Heritage Tour and I plan to another.

Neal (our tour guide) did an outstanding job delivering, in his unique way, a very informative historical perspective on Harlem. The church gospel experience was very enjoyable as well. Definitely a worth while experience
