Harlem & The Rise Of Gospel Music Walking Tour

Przegląd
The tour is conducted by a New York City licensed tour guide. We offer this tour in French or English. Our tour guides are native speakers if each languages. In this tour we will visit 9 landmark sites which include the first Black Episcopal, Methodist, Pentecostal, and Baptist churches. We will examine their history, their leaders, and their role in the anti-slavery movement as well as the civil rights movement. This tour also looks at the role of Gospel music in the history of the Black church. We will study its growth from the ring shout (the foundation of all African American music), to the Spirituals, the role of the Protestant hymnals, ending with what became known as Gospel Blues, today simply called Gospel music. The tour ends with a visit to a church service where we will listen to a live Gospel choir, it is not a concert but a real church service.

Mass was excellent! A warm welcome and a good communicative mood despite sad events related to the Los Angeles fires. The bad point goes to the Francophone guide who did not wait for the group (many people needed to go to the small corner) and especially who cared about the right number of people only at the time of tipping, which we very averagely appreciated. To be redone but not in these conditions!

Bonjour. Nous sommes désolés de lire que votre expérience n’a pas été à la hauteur de vos espérances. Veuillez s’il vous plaît nous procurer votre numéro de réservation afin de savoir qui était votre guide. Notre entreprise s’engage à fournir des services de haute qualité et un service clientèle exceptionnels. Nous nous efforçons de fournir des expériences enrichissantes et inspirantes, et vos retours, avis ou commentaires sont importants pour nous. Après investigations, nous n’avons pas trace de votre réservation. Quand avez vous fait cette visite? Une norme que nous observons depuis plus de 2 ans est que nos guides préviennent toujours nos visiteurs avant le départ des 3 options pour les toilettes 1- à l’hôpital de Harlem jusqu’à 8 H 2- au Harlem Café avers 9H 3- à 9:30 à notre arrivée à l’église. Nous sommes extrêmement surpris et n’avons jamais eu de plaintes de ce côté là. Veuillez également prendre en considération que nos guides doivent conduire des visites avec des groupes qui comptent souvent plus de 27 personnes., cependant aucun de jis guides n’a jamais “perdu” de visiteurs. Ensuite, ce que vous dites ne correspond pas du tout à nos guides. “La guide ne s’est soucié du bon nombre de personnes qu’au moment du pourboire? Nos guides n’ignoreraient jamais vos besoins. Sachez également qu’aux Etats Unis, les pourboires sont coutumes. Ils font partie du salaire des guides. Il est recommendé sur toutes les plateformes il est fréquent et nous dirions même normal qu’un guide le rappel aux visiteurs. Nous n’avons jamais reçu de critiques négatives en ce qui concerne les guides francophones sur nos visites diverses. Pas sur leur connaissance de l’histoire ni sur leur attention au bien être de nos clients. Nous attendons votre réponse fournie d’une référence de réservation afin de nous assurer 1- que cette visite s’est faite avec notre compagnie 2-du nom du ou de la guide 3-Continuer nos investigations concernant un fait troublant…. Vous êtes arrivés à l’église mais la guide ne vous a pas attendu? Bien à vous. Sylvie
