The last 3 times I’ve come to New York with different family members & friends, I have taken them to do this tour.
Neal Shoemaker, being a passionate local born & bred here, does a great job of bringing Harlem to life.
We started the tour with a visit to Canaan Baptist Church and enjoyed the 1st part of their service with the sounds of wonderful gospel choir. It was a very moving experience.
This was followed by a walking tour of beautiful Harlem, with Neal playing Jazz on his iPad, it really sets the scene, as he points out places of interest and shares the history of this place & the changes it has gone through.
We visited a Jazz bar, in full swing playing great music and visited the iconic Apollo theatre.
I can highly recommend this tour, it is fun and very interesting.
Thank you Neal for a another very enjoyable experience.
