Harlem & Gospel Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Awesome experience! It was a fantastic tour, visiting Harlem and finally seeing a gospel experience. It was a great time!!

Jess Velona is great

Published on Dec, 2024

We took this Harlem Walking Tour + Gospel Music Tour and we also did the "How money was made" tour. Both were great. We had Jess Velona as our tour guide and he was great, funny, knowledgeable and a pleasant company.

Impressive Harlem

Excellent tour, excellent guide: Emily. It was even possible to make some fotos in the church, that was a great concession. Unfortunately we were unable to give some tip to Emily, because after Church we didnt see her again.

Excellente visite avec un guide éclairant l’histoire de Harlem et une magnifique messe Gospel
