Don't miss it! - This was the only guided tour we took during our stay in New York. We are very happy to have made it, especially because Felipe, our guide, was very very kind and prepared. It was a pleasure to talk to him about music, art and culture.

Don't miss it. - On Sunday, January 26, we did the Harlem walking tour and then we were at Gospel Mass. Our Spanish tour guide was Ludi, a genius! He tells you the stories from the heart, you're left thinking... Plus it's super cool, gives you time for photos. Hopefully Ludi touches you, it's the most! It also answers you about other questions ...if you need to know and gives you data of places or what you need.

Autentico Harlem - Pleasant walk through the streets of Harlem and its churches, ended in a church with Mass with gospel songs. Passionate guide and in-depth explanations. Mass very attended and engaging.

Spanish Tour with Great Guide and Church - We did this tour with a small group in Spanish and we really liked it. SERGIO, our guide is great, very friendly and friendly. It also allowed and promoted continuous interaction. The church chosen is beautiful and an experience. Mass lasted about an hour and became very enjoyable with gospel music. The tour of the neighborhood is not very extensive but allows you to know the fundamentals around the neighborhood and the surroundings of the Church. In addition, SERGIO gives you all the advice you need if you continue exploring on your own after Mass.

A tour that brings little or nothing - Honestly, you pay to access a Gospel Mass that everyone can access since it is public. The tour is pretty flat and boring. Nor did the guide do anything to give him dynamism or entertainment. In short, you can do the same thing by walking around the neighborhood and searching the internet.
