Great tour of Harlem. Tour guide very informative. The brunch was delicious. The reason for the 3 stars is the church service. Very disappointing. Once they finally got to the sermon it was time for us to leave.
The Harlem Gospel and Brunch Tour has been on my bucket list every time I have been to NYC. It was better than what I had anticipated. Carolyn, our guide, was so wonderful. She was humorous, informative and sometimes pointed about her neighborhood, but it was honest and appreciated. The choir was fantastic and modern. The brunch was delicious. Thank you Carolyn for making the tour the BEST!
This is a must not only for tourist visiting NY but also for locals like and my wife. Our tour was guided by a person with a deep knowledge of the Harlem architecture, history, important people, changing markets, the Harlem evolution food and religion. A very interesting tour. She answered all questions and was very pleasant. Thank you Carolyn you are an A tourist guide.
We had a wonderful experience with Carolyn D. Johnson of Welcome to Harlem for a walking tour around Harlem and visiting the Memorial Baptist Church, and listening to the choir and prayer. The history of Harlem was so interesting and unforgettable. Also lunch at the Sexy Taco Dirty Cash Café on Malcolm X Street , then guided to the local bus stop to get back into New York. Thank you Carolyn.
On a sunny Sunday morning we joined our delightful and engaging tour guide Carolyn for a leisurely walking tour of Harlem. Being a local and living in the area she was able to give us an interesting insight into the rich history and recent development of Harlem and expertly pointed out the architectural features of significant buildings as well as wave and chat to her friends and neighbours along the way. We passed the famous Apollo theatre, strolled through beautiful tree lined streets flanked by the traditional Harlem Brownstone houses and we were warmly welcomed by the congregation of a local Baptist church where we were able to join in the uplifting and very moving singing of the gospel choir. The tour concluded with Carolyn hosting a delicious brunch in a local restaurant where she continued to entertain us with stories of Harlem past and present. A most enjoyable small group tour highly recommended for all.
Our tour guide was lovely. She walked us around Harlem and gave us a great insight into the area. Church was fun. Lunch was also great. My only recommendation would be to allow more time to stay in Harlem as there is lots to see.
