This tour was nothing like I expected. Harlem singers were terrible, out of tune basically could not sing. Singers were chatting amongst themselves while others were trying to sing. I left the chapel with the worst headache. The bus tour was OK as we saw parts of Manhatten and Harlem. The guide was so hard to follow as he flipped fron English to French all the time. My observation was that everybody on the bus was over him and glad to get off.
Viator I'm sure you can do better than this in a city the size of New York. Shocking trip no value, give it a miss.
The church was not at all worth a visit as I expected more Christmas songs and carols and it was just waiting there for nothing to come!
The brunch ws ok and good food to test!
Our guide this day was good and was very good to describe things we went through by bus!
While I enjoyed our tour, and I thought our guide was excellent, I really feel some confusion shortchanged us of the entire package. We went directly to a church with a 5 minute stop to see the Apollo Theater. At the church, we were escorted to the basement for a lovely Christmas celebration, but when we went upstairs to the actual church, plans changed. We were asked to leave, board the bus and we were whisked off to another church. The celebration at that church was wonderful, but we then needed to leave midway through the service, at which time we were brought back ... tour over. No walking tour, no Cotton Club. Things seemed unorganized, and I truly felt shortchanged. I guess I at least expected to get all that was included in the tour description ... and we definitely did not!
