Alma de Harlem: Hotéis em Apollo Theatre & Gospel Heritage
Descrição
Descubra as ruas onde Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington e outros jogadores do Renascimento de Harlem colocam a música americana no mapa do mundo. Nos domingos, oferecemos um passeio a pé diferente que não visita Striver's Row, mas engloba outras partes de Harlem para um passeio a pé de história mais curto e inclui uma visita a uma igreja batista local para uma verdadeira experiência de evangelho. E onde Fidel Castro dormiu depois de ser expulso de um hotel do centro da cidade por ter galinhas em seu quarto. A história de Harlem é também uma das mais dramáticas da cidade, tendo passado por muitas mudanças étnicas, culturais e socioeconômicas nos últimos 400 anos. Isso resultou em uma variedade de lugares de culto, teatros, casas e estabelecimentos alimentares. Junte-se a nós no centro da cidade em nosso passeio a pé de duas horas por Harlem, que ganhou o Prêmio.

It is a one of a kind experience. Our tour guide, Ronald, was knowledgeable on the history of Harlem and other topics.
Excellent way to see and experience Harlem from the perspective of a local resident who loves their neighborhood
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed experiencing Harlem through the eyes of a local who truly loves the neighborhood. Sharing its rich history, culture, and community is what makes this tour so special. We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again on another NYC adventure!
Our first time in Harlem, and Ronald was a perfect guide! We learned so much about Harlem and its history, heritage and culture! He also showed us wonderful initiatives that are being created and sustained by volunteers in the community! Ronald made it fun by asking our group questions about Black History, and showing us where famous Black artists, musicians, writers, inventors, scholars, and leaders lived. He was funny (when you go, try to get a "high five!), endearing (made a point to connect with a story with the places that each of us was from), and truly a beloved neighbor (saying hello to folks as they passed by our group and stopping to say "hi" to his friends who were sitting outside.) After the tour, we stayed in Harlem to find the stoop where A Great Day in Harlem photo was taken (thanks, Ronald for telling us where to find it!). And then, based on Ronald's suggestions, we stayed for dinner at Sylvia's and went to a local speakeasy to listen to amazing Jazz. It was our 27th wedding anniversary, and, we want to thank Ronald for making it a day of exploring, learning, and laughter! Your love and pride of Harlem was infectious - we plan on visiting again! Blessings to you!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and happy 27th anniversary! We're thrilled Ronald made your celebration so memorable.

I was led by Lady Altovise on a tour, and although I arrived a little late, she kindly texted me with meeting instructions. Despite the rain, the tour was fantastic. Lady Altovise was captivating and shared extensive knowledge of Harlem's history. Her enthusiasm for giving tours was evident, and I highly recommend The Soul of Harlem History and Heritage Walking Tour.

Lady A doesn't just know Harlem — she IS Harlem. With 20 years of experience, her knowledge of the neighborhood's history, culture, and community is unmatched. Warm, engaging, and easy to connect with — she has a gift for making history feel personal. The moment that said it all: walking through the streets and watching locals call her name from across the block just to say hi. You can't manufacture that kind of connection. Skip the generic tour. Book Lady A.
