Get to know the history, heritage and soul of Harlem, the legendary neighborhood known internationally as the Black Mecca of the world. This explosion of cultural pride, defined as “Harlem Renaissance” derives its roots in 1890, when African Americans – after enduring centuries of slavery and the struggle for abolition - migrated to the North in great numbers, and relocated from the rural South to the urban North.

We enjoyed this tour very much. I thi k that there were a few comments that concerned me such as now they Harlem had coffee shops we could assume everything there was alright. Not sure if coffee shop gentrification is a sign everything g is alright in a neighborhood...

We had our Harlem Gospel Sunday Tour in German with guide Ulli. She was very competent and polite she explained the attractions in an interesting way. Her knowledge about New York beside the sightseeing attractions was also very revealing. The participatopn in the service was an experience that we had not yet known in this form, We recommend this tour without restrictions.

Enjoyable tour, well led by John, topped off with a joyous service at the Friendly Baptist Church. Visited St John the Divine church, Columbia University, Sylvan Terrace (20 three story historic wooden houses), Morris Jumel mansion and Apollo Theatre. Highlight was the gospel service with some great singing and uplifting music.

A wonderful and moving trip. Our guide, a former concert pianist, knew the Area and its characters very well (she lives there!) We enjoyed the short bible readings and the choristers singing and rocking. As mentioned our guide on the coach was a delight and so informative. Excellent driver too. So much history associated with the Area and of course the music story of The Appollo. Importantly, please save time by exchanging your voucher for this tour prior to your day of travel.
