Doing what: Harlem Soul Food and Jazz Evening Tour
This is a tour you should not miss. The tour of Harlem was very interesting, the Guide very well informed, full of personality and throughout the whole evening made sure we were all well looked after. We dined at Sylvia's Soul Food Restaurant, lovely friendly atmosphere, the food was great and so much of it! The Jazz Club, Showmans, was a real old fashioned Club, quite small but lots of atmoshphere. (possibly the tiniest toilets I have ever visited). We had two complimentary champagne cocktails which were great, then enjoyed a fab selection of reasonably priced cocktails from the menu. The music was excellent, the band were clearly loving every minute of it, we also enjoyed an impromptu performance from an elderly gentleman which was wonderful. At the end of a really enjoyable evening our Driver (Carlos I think) dropped us back at our hotel to save us getting a taxi from the pick up point, and kept us entertained with a hilarious 'guided tour' of his own... we laughed till we cried. What a great end to a fabulous evening. Will repeat this tour again on our next visit. Thank You.

This tour really captured the essence of what's Harlem about! Very kind people in the church and we were happy that we booked the nice 'Soul Food' lunch in the Cotton Club as well!

Doing what: Harlem Wednesday-Morning Gospel Tour
As native New Yorkers, my husband and I would never have thought to tour Harlem, but our Italian relatives insisted. What a wonderful experience! From the efficient ladies at the tour office, to the comfortable bus to the entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide, it was great! We toured places we had only heard of: The Apollo Theater, City College, the lovely homes which depict the Harlem revitalization and renaissance and the final stop: sensational Gospel music with amazing heavenly voices. I highly recommend this tour whether you are a tourist or born and bred New Yorker. Don't miss this!

Outstanding tour and completely humbling to be welcomed by the church/congregation that we visited. A very special and, at times, very moving experience to be part of the worship and celebration of a close church family. My only regret was not taking part in the tastes of Harlem additional component of the tour. I'll rectify that next time.

I throughly enjoyed the Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour - the weather was very cold outside - but it was a warming service. I would recommend this tour to everyone who is going to visit NY. Our tour guide was excellent. Thank you again and keep it up.

Loved this tour! Harlem is a beautiful part of NYC and our guide Robert was excellent. We loved the history, the gospel church service was wonderful and to end up at the cotton club for brunch was a real treat. Highly recommend this to anyone traveling to NYC.

Sheila, our guide was informative and attentive. The tour covered a lot about Harlem's history and culture. The coverage of the apartments along the way to Harlem was also very interesting.

Very good tour. It was good to see Harlem at night. The meal at the restaurant was a bit disorganised, but the food was good. The best part was the jazz club. It had a very relaxing atmosphere and a very entertaining band.

The tour of Harlem was exceptional owing entirely to the knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide.
Church members were warm and welcoming, the praise and worship stellar.

Doing what: Harlem Sunday-Morning Gospel Tour
Todo estuvo perfectamente organizado. La misa, curiosa, aunque queda la sensación de que no es todo lo auténtica que a alguno le gustaría y se trata ya de atender al turista, pero todo el mundo amigable, educado y acogedor. La vuelta por Harlem tampoco estuvo mal. Aunque no me gusta ver las ciudades desde el autobús, algunas veces la falta de tiempo hace que sea la mejor opción, y uno queda con una visión general del barrio bastante completa. Lo mejor: el brunch en el Cotton Club. Una comida estupenda, en cantidad y calidad, y un rato muy agradable con los músicos y cantante. Recomiendo a quien quiera ver misa gospel, que incluya el brunch. Es lo mejor.

This tour was fantastic. Sylvias for dinner and genuine soul food was out of this world and to then go on to the Cotton Club and experience the hospitality, entertainment and atmosphere via a night tour around Harlem was a must do and enjoyed tremendously by all of us. Peggy was devine.

This was a fantastic and amazing tour... I am not a religious person, however, this tour was brilliant. Visiting a Harlem church on Sunday Morning was like sister act on steroids... Lots of energy and happiness. Would head back there or do this tour again.
