It was awesome. The guide clearly has meaningful ties to the Harlem community and a deep understanding of its rich history.

I could not manage to do the tour as the start meeting point was changed without anyone telling me (I called the day before and they confirm the starting place was the one stated on the ticket). After many phone calls and much rudeness from the agent who answered my calls, I realize the guide decided to start the tour at the ending point. I walked 15 minutes to the supposed place and something else was happening there. It took me a while to realize it was another event. I went on purpose to Harley (1 hour away from my home), could not participate in it, and experienced much stress and rudeness. I am asking, please, for a refund.

Grew up in NYC during a time we were convinced to stay away from Harlem. OMG, what a loss. Harlem is so rich in fascinating history and so beautiful. The tour was fabulous. Lots of walking, but he paces it to the people who are in the group. Loved how we got to take photos in the exact places of iconic old photos. We are definitely booking a different tour when we are back in town. HIGHLY recommend.
