Absolutely worth it❤️🖤💚 - My son and I had the opportunity to take this tour with Mr. Harlem and it was phenomenal!!! I was born and raised in NYC and my family is all over Harlem and I learned sooooo much that I didn’t know. I learned the history of buildings that I have walked past and even been in that I had no idea the significance of. I am truly grateful for this tour that I had the opportunity to take with my son.
THANK YOU MR. HARLEM!!!

memorable expirience - While visiting New York, Harlem wasn’t originally on our list — but I’m so glad my wife thought of it! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a real feel for the unique culture and rich history of this remarkable neighborhood. It felt like everyone in the area knew him, which added a fun and personal touch to the tour. He was engaging, imaginative, and brought Harlem’s story to life, from its origins all the way to the present day. A truly memorable experience.

No Show, So Disappointing - The tour leader did not show up. I did hear later from someone
and have been told I will be refunded. We will see. The topic
of the tour - Civil Rights - is so important, and I was sorry to
miss it - just had to stand at the meeting place and wait then
leave without the valuable experience.
