Well worth doing,and the stops on the way were also excellent (Columbia University,Riverside Church and General Grant Memorial).
The Harlem and Gospel tour was a complete disappointment. I was expecting a tour which will describe the strong ties as well as atmosphere and harsh reality that nourished the development of the Gospel music .Instead we were led through Colombia University,the riverside and general Grant mausoleum . Then came a short stop at the Apolo theater front and finally a stop at a church where a choir performed a Gospel show for us. The show did not feel genuine and we were truely disappointed as we expected to join a black community on its true Sunday services. The guidance was quite annoying as the assembled group consisted 3 languages speaking people : A large group of Italians who got their guidance in the bus by means of a loudspeaker and two smaller french and english speaking people who had to make big efforts to hear the guide. For us it was a lost day of a short first visit to NYC. We have later found out that the company that organized this tour is Italian and it looks like a cynical approach to complete the empty spots of an Italian group By different languages speaking people for economical reasons rather than for the quality and adequate reward that this people deserve .
Awesome tour and our tour guide Daniel was awesome!!!
