This was truly a lovely day. We felt like we were walking around with the mayor of Harlem. His knowledge and enthusiasm is a beautiful thing.

We loved it and highly recommend it! Plus our tour group ran into two local celebrities, and our super tour guide introduced us, told us why they were each historically important and seamlessly wove their stories into the wonderful Harlem history he was telling us about.

Awesome tour, very informative, we had a great time learning all about the history of Harlem. My son was able to play in the park and said he now feels like he’s a local.
