Sunday in Harlem - Thank you to kaissa for introducing us to Harlem , the basics of gospel, the role of churches in the freedom of African Americans and for blackmailing us. We learned a lot about the culture and history of the men and women who did and do Harlem. Thank you to this citizen of the world with a great culture and a very beautiful voice. The service at the church was also a discovery, songs, communion, fraternity. To do without a doubt

Harlem Gospel Tour - Ken was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and informative. The tour was fantastic, and the last stop was us attending mass at the church with the gospel choir. It was truly a unique experience. Recommended.

NYC Harlem Gospel - Welcoming greeting and easy check-in. Tour guide was friendly and engaging. Told us what to expect, paced the walk well for all on tour. Sadie (tour guide) was well versed in subject, shared informative facts. She welcomed questions and set the stage for more learning on our own. It was fun and entertaining. Church service was moving. I would go again.

Jess is magic - Not only is the story of Harlem and gospel interesting in itself, but when it is told by a Guide history teacher and master of the French language, it becomes exciting and a real good time to share. Thanks to Jess for making us live a beautiful morning even with the rain. The mass was also a very good time. What songs! And with such a kind and modern priest! Thank you.
