Visited on a very wet Sunday morning. A very informative tour particularly of the area north of Central Park, Harlem and the Bronx, our visit took in a Bronx church which included some very passionate and emotional gospel singing. What an experience! The best part for me was the guide! Arvin( forgive me if I’ve got the name wrong) must be the most passionate, gentlest guide I have ever met. Along with giving us the history of the neighbourhood we visited he exuded such a humble demeanour coupled with a passionate conviction for human rights and personal accountability to do the right thing ( I.e. vote). he made my day!

This was a four hour bus tour of Harlem. The guide was very good and provided us with very interesting historic, cultural and architectural information. We also went to fascinating church in the Bronx where we experienced the lively and passionate gospel prayers.
