Fabulous experience
The tour guide Sheila gave us all a fabulous histort and insight in New York in general and Haarlem in great detail
Duane on the return trip also did an excellent job. The Gospel choir were fabulous and really welcoming
The Cotton Club experience was memorable for the great singing/entertainment but not for the buffet food.
We enjoyed the experience and glad we took this tour. However a number of different churches are chosen each Sunday. The service differs from church to church. Depending on the Sunday you may get lots of singing and music etc and little sermonising etc. Some Sunday's there could be more formal service than music so be prepared as it depends on the Sunday you select.
This was an interesting and varied tour. I'm very glad I did it. Seeing Harlem and the Bronx was great. I really got a perspective of the areas and I had no idea how close they were to the heart of New York. The church visit was also very moving. Worth doing.
