Harlem
Cradle of African-American culture and bastion of the struggle for equal rights, Harlem is no longer the ghetto it was in the 1970s. On the contrary, it has become one of the most dynamic neighborhoods and trendy New York! And even if it was done at the cost of a certain gentrification (gentrification), the district has preserved most of its cultural heritage: street art, hip-hop, gospel, jazz and soul food! We can't count the number of personalities who were born or lived in Harlem: Louis Armstrong, James Baldwin, Malcom X, Sugar Ray Robinson, Marcus Garvey… So many Harlemites who have contributed to the exceptional heritage of this district steeped in history. From Baptist churches oozing the fervor of gospel masses to the legendary hall of the Apollo Theater, from the small streets formed of typical brownstones to the prestigious Columbia University ... succumb to the discreet charm of Harlem!

A rich experience
Aymeric is a competent guide with perfect knowledge of Harlem. He loves this neighborhood and knew how to share it with us. He helped us discover unsuspected facets and experience precious moments (outdoor mass,...) we leave with a different knowledge of the history of Harlem We recommend him without hesitation.

Top-notch tour
Tour of Harlem with Fred who lives there and knows the whole history of the neighborhood. We loved it because Fred was able to convey his enthusiasm and knowledge to us: it was very lively and we learned a lot. I highly recommend it; it was a very enriching tour given by an enthusiast. Bravo and thank you to Fred. Sophie and Mathilde tour on 8/23

Exciting visit with Aymeric
Aymeric helped us discover Harlem with passion. We had preconceived notions as French people about this neighborhood. He took us on a journey through time to understand the soul of this city and more specifically the condition and emancipation of Black Americans. Thank you deeply for this historical journey through the eyes of a Bordeaux native who has lived for more than 10 years with his wife and children in Harlem.

Awesome
A walking tour of Harlem with Guillaume that was truly exciting and very enriching! He allowed us to better understand the neighborhood, its past, its present, but also its future prospects. We discovered much more than just the iconic landmarks: the history of Harlem, its evolution, the culture and the communities that shaped the neighborhood, but also many aspects of New York life and its history. Guillaume is passionate, very interesting, and knows how to share his knowledge with a lot of enthusiasm. A tour that we highly recommend to discover Harlem differently and better understand New York!
