Harlem tour with Doris - We were the only people on the tour, so got a great "one on two" experience. Doris was very attentive and caring when my partner temporarily felt faint. Doris had excellent knowledge of Harlem and we saw some talented musicians to boot in a couple of small venues. Great to get an insight to such an important area!

An hour of great Jazz music from the heart of Harlem! - What a fantastic evening relaxing to some beautiful live jazz music straight from the heart of Harlem, set in a lovely church. We had a fantastic time and wanted to experience live Jazz in Harlem.

Great tour with very knowledgeable guide - I have done this tour before with a friend pre Covid, cant remember if it was the same lady who took us. This is an interesting and well thought out tour. Both times i was taken by a lady who has lived in Harlem all her life ( not by a person just doing a job / reading a script ) and who has seen a lot in the hood / changes etc. The first part is a walking tour of the area. Then we were taken to two jazz events - the first was a concert in a church for a small number of people - very intimate! The second was a bar / venue with different acts every hour - could have stayed all night! The guide knows her stuff both about Harlem the area, who has played and lived there and the varied jazz scene and took good care of us. Dont miss it, very very interesting tour - twice

The tour was very... - The tour was very educational and fun. Ms. Doree was really nice and sweet! My mother and I enjoyed learning about the history of Harlem and ending the night at Shrine, a jazz club.

Jazzy Harlem Tour - It is a small group walking tour of Harlem. The meeting point is right in front of the Apollo which is now under construction. So a bit confusing. The history of Harlem while walking through the area enriched the experience. We made it to two of the jazz spots they were both great. The guide is from the area and we felt very safe and comfortable . We will be back and I would do this tour again.

Meh - Maybe. 3.5. The tour started out great with so much historical and cultural information. But it quickly turned political which was unnecessary. The tour ended in a small room with a $10 cover charge and $6 bottle water

Not so much - We expected more focus on music. First venue was not expecting us. They scrambled for chairs. As no good was going to be provided on the tour we rushed and ate before only to find a light dinner was provided. Would not recommend this tour.
