Debating between 2-3 stars. PROS: - The idea of the tour is fantastic - The guide is engaging, passionate and knowledgeable CONS: - The main issue with the tour is that it's long for the content and that the content seems to be not structured into topics. Here goes some recommendation from a tourist viewpoint: - Mic for better audition - Multimedia support: pictures, videos, etc. - To have a more clear theme or to structure it in a more clear way

The absolute best! This gentleman was very respectful, conscientious and obviously knowledgeable of the history of his home, the roots of Harlem from the founders, the entertainers, the politians to the educators , for those who paved the way and those who are still trying to make a way. I appreciated it all. Thanks so much!

Neal was wonderful - superinformed, thoughtful, and warm. I am a long time Harlem resident and learnt a great deal about Harlem's cultural and sociopolitical history and legacy. Neal has deep roots in Harlem and this is evident throughout the tour and with each bit of information and history that he enthusiastically shares. I highly recommend him and his tours. His Harlem Gospel tour is also great.
