I have taken my community college students on this tour for YEARS. It is professional, educational and fun. Neal Shoemaker is an outstanding tour guide. He exudes what Harlem is all about and is a waking trivia machine. I cannot rave about this walking tour enough. Neal is well connected within the community and is confident enough to have us participate in WHATEVER happens to be taking place around us. We have participated in a social justice march, stopped in to see Rev. Al Sharpton at the renaming of the Ossie Davis/Ruby Street intersection. We will continue to work with Harlem Heritage as long as we are connected with Neal.
