Jonathan was the perfect guide. Highly knowledgeable and fun. Our group of 8 had all ages. Everyone enjoyed the experience. Lunch was great, the pace was perfect. And Mother Nature smiled on us.
Thank you Jonathan.

My school, Fusion Academy, was very pleased with the tour! The student who joined the tour were very intrigued throughout the time there, and I believe they learned a lot. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took time to address all the questions each of the students and faculty had.

I enjoyed the history of the buildings and how things have changed over time. Debbie was very very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal. She gave us a few minutes to make purchases from a small business and the lunch was absolutely delicious!!!! Would definitely recommend this tour. I do have 2 minor suggestions…. 1. A speaker or mic with ear pieces as sometimes it was hard to hear bc of the road noise. 2. Build in a 15 minute drink break maybe at the Harlem Cafe (maybe a shared group snack) In spite of those small suggestions, my entire family was amazed at the information we got on the tour. The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge not only about Harlem but the city of New York. I book with Viator a great deal when traveling but don’t often write a review however this tour was worthy of my time spent writing this review.

Doris was a walking encyclopedia plus a Harlem native which was a major bonus, she knew everything about what had been where, when and who. She was so personable and articulate. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed her. The meal was great, my fav was the collard greens. And we also had a Mo’s hot dog with the works. Delicious! (It was on my list, Mo is featured in a Netflix documentary NYC Street Food.)

Having prior knowledge of the Harlem Renaissance made this tour very exciting to see historical sites, art and references in person! Our tour guide Doris has a very personal connection to Harlem and lots of insider perspective and pop culture history and tidbits to share!

Really enjoyed the tour and the guide was excellent. I would recommend allowing a few minutes to shop in the African market.
