The tour was quite well organised, Harlem was very interesting but the Gospel Choir in the church was what I was looking forward to and they were great. I also had the Harlem meal after the tour and that was at a lovely restaurant and the food was excellent.

Interesting morning in Harlem supported by very friendly Italian speaker that gave us useful suggetions for the following days we spent in NYC. Recomended.

This is not the slickest Gospel choir you will ever see in New York but it is the genuine article and an enjoyable way to spend a morning. The guided tour on the way to the church was very well done.

The bus tour around Harlem was interesting. Got to hear about some history etc which set the scene very nicely. A couple of stops were made one of which was quite useless - outside a house which wanted to charge a further 5 entrance to go inside, but never actually opened the door to let us in! Much more interesting was the 'triple cent' 555 building which once used to house Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald apparently... Also a stop at The Cotton Club would have been great, as opposed to a drive-by. The highlight HAS to be the actual Gospel service. Amazing singing, amazing people, and an incredibly warm welcome. The 90 minute service was very enjoyable and at times, quite thought-provoking. We came out of their extremely enthused, and ready for the 'Soul Food' which sadly only a few of us had opted for. But not a problem, as there was more for the rest of us. You HAVE to go for the food option, which takes you to Slyvia's Restaurant in Harlem for some traditional fayre. Delicious! My only negative comment is that we were rushed out of the restuarant at the end, and had to gulp our desserts down, and leave the coffee which had just arrived because the bus was in a rush to get back. So the timing was a little off, but overall, if you're looking to get a Gospel experience, you'll definately enjoy this one!

Definitely worth it, although I think we spent most of the time in the bus, but the guide was very good and the concert as well.

The guided tour was absolutely lovely, but the visit in the church and the following lunch could have been better.

Quite interesting, food pretty good. The church service was not a regular service but a show for the tour buses. 95% of the congregation were on tours.

A good guide on thebus and very short walking tour. Church singing good but very obviously aimed at tourists. Food at Sylvia's ok but little atmosphere, partly because of all the tourists!

If you want a true gospel service experience you might be disappointed, and should look at the Sunday version of this tour. We had an excellent and informative guide( Len) and enjoyed the tour, but the church 'service' element is largely an opportunity for the excellent choir to have a blast and try to sell some dvds to tourists. Having attended gospel worship in Barbados, this was a mild imitation!

The highlight of the tour is the ARC gospel performance. Other than that, you may spend too much time sitting in the bus and listen to the guide.

2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
