The tour was a really great way to learn about Harlem's history from a seasoned local. We learned about all of Harlem's amazing history: its inextricable ties to the civil rights movement, demographic changes over time, food, culture, and even the history of jazz. I would strongly recommend it!

I’ve told my family and friends about this tour they all want to come now! Excellent tour. I learned a lot about Harlem. My first visit will come back again

It was an early start getting into Manhattan from Long Island, but this was worth the early Sunday morning for. We met with our guide on Malcolm X Blvd, very knowledgeable fellow who was able to give a lot of background history on the area. The people of Harlem were very warm and welcoming. Bumped into a rapper who sold us his album, not too shabby! When the rapper heard we were Irish he explained if it ain't green, it ain't clean. Don't be a fool - stay in school. Happy wife, happy life :) Really enjoyed the gospel service at the end. If music was this good at home, maybe I'd go to church - lol.
