Harlem

This was a great tour both in terms of HipHop and seeing Harlem. It was especially great to have the tour hosted by a genuine Hiphop artist.

Absolutely unbelievable and amazing. This was one of the highlights of our holiday. The bus driver was informative and on our way to Harlem gave us an insight into life in the Bronx and Harlem through the century. The actual church service was uplifting. The "makeshift" choir sang and danced and just inspired everyone. It was a feel good time. Well worth the money and we have recommended it to many friends

We went on the Harlem morning gospel tour. it was such an interesting tour. We were taken around Harlem looking at different places like the local muiseum and the Apollo theatre. We then went to the church where the choir sang there were a school group that had come from another part of the state and they also joined in. We were then taken to Sylvias resturant where we all enjoyed a meal of soul food. This tour was very interesting and well worth the money.

The Gospel tour was a bit left of field for us but we enjoyed seeing something different. The congregation was lovely and welcoming and the experience of attending a gospel service was something we won't forget. The tour through Harlem was really enjoyable and our guide was hilarious which helped add to a good morning out.

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!

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.

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.
