Fun to know more about Harlem history but I thought it was included a walking tour. You just sit in the bus all day. Great gospel but a very old church and almost only tourist so I don’t believe you get that real gospel feeling.

Thank you for taking the time give us feedback on the tour. We're glad that learning about Harlem history was fun for you. This is a 3 hour bus tour with some walking stops. The gospel concert is for visitors to experience gospel music. The church in question has been a pillar of the Harlem community for 75 years. I am not sure what "real gospel feeling" you are referring to but the singers are passionate and dedicated to singing songs of praise and worship.

I’ve been to New York several times, this was by far the most enjoyable enlightening trip. My adult children and my young grands will be returning to visit Harlem in the near future .

Wonderful experience. The choir and the church members could not have been more gracious and welcome. Each member of the choir is extremely talented and passionate about the music. A highlight of my visit and I have been to NYC many times. Our guide Anthony was a life time New Yorker who was a wealth of information and easy to hear and understand. Enjoy!
