What To Expect

Harlem

Cradle of African-American culture and bastion of the struggle for equal rights, Harlem is no longer the ghetto it was in the 1970s. On the contrary, it has become one of the most dynamic neighborhoods and trendy New York! And even if it was done at the cost of a certain gentrification (gentrification), the district has preserved most of its cultural heritage: street art, hip-hop, gospel, jazz and soul food! We can't count the number of personalities who were born or lived in Harlem: Louis Armstrong, James Baldwin, Malcom X, Sugar Ray Robinson, Marcus Garvey… So many Harlemites who have contributed to the exceptional heritage of this district steeped in history. From Baptist churches oozing the fervor of gospel masses to the legendary hall of the Apollo Theater, from the small streets formed of typical brownstones to the prestigious Columbia University ... succumb to the discreet charm of Harlem!

Unlike most guided tours, we were lucky enough to come across a real Francophone guide living in the neighborhood. In addition, the number of people in the group and the route is perfectly adapted to interact with the guide more easily and allows to visit the neighborhood perfectly. Aymeric is an exciting, passionate guide and it is really very pleasant. He told us the story of HARLEM, making us live and sometimes even relive with him key historical events all along the way. And to finish the tour, he showed us the best tips, places to go eat, visit and even accompanied us to the METRO because we were a little rushed (game night) Do not hesitate to visit this neighborhood of HARLEM which is safe and really very rich in culture.
