Harlem Gospel Sunday Tour

Overview

Get to know the history, heritage and soul of Harlem, the legendary neighborhood known internationally as the Black Mecca of the world. This explosion of cultural pride, defined as “Harlem Renaissance” derives its roots in 1890, when African Americans – after enduring centuries of slavery and the struggle for abolition - migrated to the North in great numbers, and relocated from the rural South to the urban North.

A wonderful and moving trip. Our guide, a former concert pianist, knew the Area and its characters very well (she lives there!) We enjoyed the short bible readings and the choristers singing and rocking. As mentioned our guide on the coach was a delight and so informative. Excellent driver too. So much history associated with the Area and of course the music story of The Appollo. Importantly, please save time by exchanging your voucher for this tour prior to your day of travel.

Really interesting trip around Harlem and the Bronx as well as the Gospel visit. It was great to see other parts of New York City.
