The guide was great, he taught us all about Harlem. The church service, it is more like for sight seeing visitors service, that was not as good as I expected. I wouldn't recommend this to my friends.

What a fun and learning tour. Tour Harlem and seeing the change in that part of Manhatten. The Gospel singers are amazing, you learn music, cultural differences and how people overcome adversity. I took the optional Sylvia's restaurant and glad I did. The food was fabulous...it was like eating at my Southern Grandmother's home! Great down home cooking. Highly recommend this tour.
