Sergio was an excellent guide, gave us explanations around the area and interesting details. As we like stories a lot, more historical information would be well appreciated :) but we understand the time is limited. The gospel experience (1'5h) was nice although different than expected. Lots of tourist groups and not many locals. But all the people organizing and the comunity was lovely and kind!

We had such a great time doing the tour with Ludie! Succes a great guide and super excited to tell your everything she knows. Salem church was welcoming and we sat through the end of the service and it was beautiful. Got to see a baptism and learned a lot about the history of Harlem. The walk was not too far, be there on time. It is easy to access with the subway and I would definitely recommend this tour!

We discovered Harlem in French with an exceptional guide named Jess! He passed on to us his love for his neighborhood but also his perfect and precise knowledge of the African-American history of Harlem and Gospel. We ended the visit with a Gospel mass. A perfect morning! Thanks again Jess!!

Walk and visit some important places in Harlem. Live gospel mass. (the sound of the instruments in the speakers hid the singers' voices a little too much). I would have preferred to attend songs performed more by adults. But the teenagers sang very well all the same. Experience to do. Small special note for Jesse our guide, invested 200%, we see that he loves the history of Harlem. He sings, he dances, he smiles, he shares pieces of music with us over the phone to accompany his narration. In the top.

Our tour was in Spanish, and we loved it, our guide was very attentive and made us learn much more about the culture and life of Harlem. To finish we went to a Hospel mass that we loved, since they make you feel part of them.

Our Gospel tour was an unforgettable experience, Kaïssa our guide was wonderful, focusing on the details of the history of which we had no idea but above all allowing us to understand the evolution and the people who have influenced Gospel since the beginning . All the explanations received allowed us to join this community during mass with understanding and a lot of respect. Thank you Kaïssa for your professionalism and your availability, I am sure to do this activity again during our next visit to New York. This experience is not just an excursion but we felt it as a way to keep the flame of memory alive. well done Fred Balbeur

The walking tour was perfect with the guide. On the other hand, disappointed by the gospel mass, after 2 songs the priest took the floor for a 1h30 monologue.
