Simple we were not welcomed by anyone at the meeting point! We received a message with a new address (opposite Harlem Hospital) to be taken care of and ultimately still no one ....
Very nice journey with our passionated guide Dwayne in Harlem and the woah effect with deep Gospel, full of joy and energy - we recommend 200% thanks to our driver as well
Loved the tour guide & bus driver. Nothing was too much trouble. The Choir - amazing,. Certainly spirit fulfilling. A truly amazing look at Harlem.
Thank you for the beautiful review. We're thrilled that you enjoyed it!
Beautiful description and comprehensive tour of the Harleem district concluded with an extraordinary performance by a GOSPEL choir.
Alvin led a tour that included the history of Harlem’s transitions that segued into today’s issues and climaxed with a superb concert by the group once known as the ARC Gospel Choir.
Truly humbling experience Guide was knowledgeable professional and could answer questions and details The experience was amazing I loved the choir the group and the church everything was special and spiritual I really felt it
I really enjoyed the tour. I felt an overwhelming sense of emotion when the singing first started. I would have liked some more storytelling on a personal level though. It was good, but also felt a little bit of “just going through the motions”.
Great knowledgeable guide and a performance to be remembered. My second visit to see them as I came back after 2 years and booked the exact same tour
The Harlem Gospel Ensemble was outstanding!!!! It’s worth the tour to hear them. I was hoping to hear about the role Harlem played in the Arts - guide just pointed out some buildings. Stopped in front of the Apollo - nothing about its history. Could only see 3 names on the walk of fame. Was under construction. Nothing to see! Kind of a questionable neighborhood to be let out for 15 minutes. Gospel Choir - AMAZING 5+ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Guide - 2 ⭐️⭐️ Tell me about the culture of Harlem in its heyday and how it’s still alive today in the culture of America!
The bus was not conducive to site seeing There was much that couldn’t be seen regardless of which side of the bus you were on The gospel experience was excellent
