This tour was such good value for money. We got to walk around and understand all of harlem history with a very knowledgeable tour guide, ending at the famous Apollo theatre. Definitely worth it! Would recommend

When I was searching around and comparing the various tour groups in Harlem, I was keen to find a group/tour guide who was local and could provide an in depth understanding of Harlem and it's history beyond typical touristy experiences. I am very happy that I chose Harlem Heritage Tourism & Cultural Center! Not only does Neal have deep knowledge of Harlem 's history, it is clearly personal for him, he tied history to contemporary issues and was able to merge the theme of the tour "Harlem Renaissance" with some of my personal research interests. Highly recommend!

You really want to know more about Harlem? Neal is the best person to ask: he is full of stories that spark your imagination, he is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic so that you learn a lot not only about Harlem's history but the history of New York and beyond. A big thank you for an inspiring afternoon. Highly recommended!
