The Gospel service was very moving, and the soul food lunch extra charge both abundant and tasty. We were very disappointed in the tour bus guide- no information provided that would help us put gospel music into context and even less information about Harlem than was in our guide books. The guide did not make any of the supposedly scheduled stops so we could walk around and take photos or even just look at important sites e.g., Centre for African American Culture-even after reminders and specific requests. On the way back from the lunch, I was reading from the guide book out loud, to share info about landmarks we were passing with my companion the bus driver also made a few comments- and several other passengers said they learned more from the reading and the bus driver's few remarks than they had during the entire guided part of the tour! Very disappointing. Local guides better acquainted with 'spiritual Harlem', or better informed guides with some interest or even some minimal knowledge of Harlem's rich musical history or even architectural, sociological, or political history, any context would have been interesting! Would have made the tour worth recommending. Too bad, because, as mentioned in the beginning, the gospel service and choir were a very moving and interesting experience.
