Overview

Get to know the history, heritage and soul of Harlem, the legendary neighborhood known internationally as the Black Mecca of the world. This explosion of cultural pride, defined as “Harlem Renaissance” derives its roots in 1890, when African Americans – after enduring centuries of slavery and the struggle for abolition - migrated to the North in great numbers, and relocated from the rural South to the urban North.

Meeting points

Meet your Tour Guide in front of the Sheraton New York 7th Avenue between 52 and 53rd Street (by the revolving door). The Guide will call your name.

Interesting Tour with profound guide

Published on Apr, 2019

We had our Harlem Gospel Sunday Tour in German with guide Ulli. She was very competent and polite she explained the attractions in an interesting way. Her knowledge about New York beside the sightseeing attractions was also very revealing. The participatopn in the service was an experience that we had not yet known in this form, We recommend this tour without restrictions.

Great way to spend a Sunday morning

Published on May, 2018

Enjoyable tour, well led by John, topped off with a joyous service at the Friendly Baptist Church. Visited St John the Divine church, Columbia University, Sylvan Terrace (20 three story historic wooden houses), Morris Jumel mansion and Apollo Theatre. Highlight was the gospel service with some great singing and uplifting music.

Rocking in the Aisles

Published on Feb, 2018

A wonderful and moving trip. Our guide, a former concert pianist, knew the Area and its characters very well (she lives there!) We enjoyed the short bible readings and the choristers singing and rocking. As mentioned our guide on the coach was a delight and so informative. Excellent driver too. So much history associated with the Area and of course the music story of The Appollo. Importantly, please save time by exchanging your voucher for this tour prior to your day of travel.
