We all thoroughly enjoyed this tour (2 adults, 2 children). Arrived late due to church services starting at 10 am rather than 11 am during the summer. Surely the tour company could have arranged an earlier pick up? Additionally, long queues in office to pick up tickets on Sunday morning was a bind. However, tour guide was excellent with running commentary on bus tour to Harlem. Service was amazing. Awesome gospel choir in very atmospheric local church. Congregation was inspirational and greeting of visitors very humbling. We would have all liked to stay longer and is a memory we will keep for a long time. The brunch at the Cotton Club was also fantastic (apart from the high cost of soft drinks). Food was great and plentiful although the highlight was the entertainment. The resident gospel band and very talented singer was joined on stage by Sister Sledge who were lunching at the club. I will never forget the version of "We are family"!. Kids also went up on stage for Happy Days. If I ever return to New York I would most definitely take this tour again and would recommend to all. My wife who was not totally keen to go on this tour confirmed it as the highlight of our 5 day visit to New York!
The tour guide was excellent. It was definitely interesting seeing the area. The gospel experience was something I will not forget.
Real good! Harlem spirtual proved very professional and flexible: we had booked a tour in English while our kids speak English. After one short call they kindly adapted and the french speaking guide we had was both knowledgeable and enthousiatic. A real 'must do'!
