The heart of Harlem - We thoroughly enjoyed our informative tour of Harlem and most especially, the moving and inspiring performance of the Harlem Gospel Choir. Led by their pastor, they are an extremely talented group, and we take this opportunity to wish them well. Special thanks to our wonderful guide for a fantastic and insightful tour.

Amazing Guide, Integral History - This tour was incredible, but mainly because of our guide. A knowledgeable lady from Alabama, she was the center of it all. Learning about her life and hearing her perspective was the highlight. We went through Harlem and ended the tour with an absolutely gorgeous gospel concert. If you need soul music, this is for you. The history, the sights and the sounds are unique to NYC. Thanks to our tour guide, a true “Renaissance” woman. We didn’t have cash to tip her, and this will haunt me. She said she’d been in NYC since the 1970s, so I hope tour goers get the opportunity to travel around with her. I hope this review reflects positively on her light and gifts. YOU MUST ATTEND THIS TOUR!

Amazing! - I would recommend this tour to everyone who has 3 hours of spare time in NYC. During the bus ride to the church, our guide told us many stories about the life in Harlem now and then, about well-known black people, she also mentioned several interesting jazz clubs and signature restaurants as well as many important sights. The concert at the church is an unforgettable experience in many ways. Members of the choir are tallented and warm-hearted people and the concert itself is unparalleled! It is one hour of unequaled singing of songs the lyrics of which are deep and occasionally very touching. A unique and truly different tour!

A wonderful morning in Harlem - It was great to see Harlem and hear about the history. I'm a singer in a Dutch gospelchoir. It was so fantastic to hear the voices of the choir and all a capella! My compliments for them!

Worthy experience when visiting NY city - I like the social work done by the group beyond the singing i.e. helping people with alcohol or drug problems

Too bad for the price - The only thing on the trip that was meaningless was the Gospel concert. And this one can find a place to see and hear. Recommend that you go around yourself.

Not a good experience - This was certainly not what we thought we are going to see. Great experience but not the choir we thought we had booked or paid for.
