Fun and Enlightening Tour - This was a great experience! The walking and seeing the actual place where the artist performed made the experience upfront and real. Katie, our tour guide is an awesome commentator and very knowledgeable. The stop by Ben’s Chili bowl was phenomenal. I would recommend this tour to friends and family.

Learn something new; see DC - Fun and interesting tour. Katie was so knowledgeable and shared many bits of history I did not know about the era and neighborhood. Perfectly timed pit stop at Ben’s Cili Bowl. Great way to see a DC neighborhood!

Engaging Tour that Shows Another Side of the Harlem Renaissance - I am a college professor who has taken her students on walking tours in Harlem. I decided to try the Harlem Renaissance in DC tour for a change of pace, and I'm very glad that I did. I couldn't bring my class along as planned, but I took the tour anyway with my family. My 12-year old remained attentive if not engaged throughout the tour. Katie is very professional and knowledgeable about the period and the neighborhoods along the tour route. She dressed in 1920s attire and played jazz music during our walk. Instead of sticking to a prepared script she responded to questions and elaborated on different points based on our interests. Many historic sites in NYC related to the Harlem Renaissance have been repurposed or torn down. There are a significant number of sites still standing in DC, however. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this tour for everyone. Curious tourists, history buffs, students, and scholars can all learn something long the way.

Great way to spend an afternoon: Harlem Renaissance in DC - This was such a cool walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had done plenty of research on the history of Black writers and musicians who were from or got their start in DC. She took us to some gems that I will certainly be going back to, and gave us some tips on where to find local jazz. I moved to DC recently and found this tour a great learning experience about the rich culture of African Americans in DC that I wouldn’t get from the big tourist attractions.

Black excellence in DC. - This is a great tour if you want to learn more about the significant contributions, history and the important legacy of Black people in DC during the Harlem Renaissance era. All the jazz greats, musicians, poets, writers, intellectuals, educators. As a Black woman who attended Howard University and lived in the DC area for many years I learned so much on this tour as we walked through the various neighborhoods. I really enjoyed it. Great job Katie!! I recommend this tour for anyone that loves history and culture.

Jazz, murals, and history! - Katie brings history to life on this tour highlighting the vibrant musicians and figures who created a true community in the U street area. Learned a bunch about another ‘off the mall’ neighborhood- would highly recommend!
