Harlem discovery - We have really enjoyed an authentic tour with the local guide whose name we didn't catch but he shared with us plenty of original stories and his personal memories from the life of black people and made our tour really special. We would recommend the tour to anyone!

Find extraordinary in your misfortune - Extraordinary. The guide Karissa was perfect. She is passionate invested and has managed to pass on her passion for her story to me to better understand the history of black people and gospel music. To learn that these people have managed to find the extraordinary in their misfortune is incredible. We had a bad time walking but thanks to the guide, our hearts were warm. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Beautiful, sunny tour through Harlem! ☀️🎶 - Had an amazing tour with Kevin. He really knew many great details of Harlem history. Also, he sang some of the songs he was referring to himself, which made it more interactive.

Too many people in the same visit - Kent was a good guide and charming but not visiting on a human scale too large group and too expeditious. I recommend TRAVEL IN FRENCH for your visits. Sympathetic gospel mass
