Hamilton Heights-West Harlem Walking Tour

This was a really fun and enlightening walking tour. My guide, Mr. George, was extremely knowledgeable and delightful!

What a great overview of the history and culture of this part of NYC - and our extremely knowledgable guid was fun and insightful, plus careful to accommodate the different interests and levels of knowledge of the participants - he was great! Give yourself a treat and experience this wonderful part of the city, which far too many have never visited. Highly recommended!!!

This was a wonderful tour guided by William Gibbons . His historical perspective on Harlem was very insightful and made the tour both educational and enjoyable.

We had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide in William. He has a lot of historical knowledge and answered all of our questions. I was excited about Harlem and surprised by how diverse the architecture is in the neighborhoods... I'm already looking forward to Sunday, when I can attend a gospel mass.

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! =)

Great tour with lots of information. Entertaining and interesting. The guide was very knowledgeable and took us to places that a "normal" tourist would not find.

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.

It was a relaxing walk in which you get to know Harlem a bit better. History goes in waves. From prosperity to decline and then back to 'hip'. The residents also vary. The guide managed to weave this into the tour. It's definitely worth it if you want to know a little more about Harlem, its residents, the time African Americans came to the neighborhood and current developments.
