    We enjoyed our tour with William very much. William is very knowledgeable and a great guide. He explained a lot about history, architecture and the social and economic changes that Harlem went through over time. Our tour with William felt like a walk around the neighborhood with a good friend. Thank you very much William! =)

    The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tour was very interesting. The tour allowed us to discover a less touristy and liveable part of New york. Highly recommended

    This was a great tour, especially of the City on a Hill college. William our guide was magnificent. So friendly and knowledgeable. Could not recommend this experience more, for this tour or the Gospel singing experiences either.

    Because he works at CCNY our guide, William, shared a lot of the school's history and was able to access interesting spaces, like the great hall. His expertisee spanned architecture, history and the lives of prominent, influential black residents of Harlem.

    We had a wonderful time and a great local experience with Jocelyn, our guide. Attending the Sunday Gospel was very intimate and interesting - totally different to what I was expecting. I highly recommend the tour. The only flaw in our tour was that it ended about 40 minutes later than expected (some people checked-in late and we had to wait for them), so the majority of our group missed the final stops
