We enjoyed this tour very much. I thi k that there were a few comments that concerned me such as now they Harlem had coffee shops we could assume everything there was alright. Not sure if coffee shop gentrification is a sign everything g is alright in a neighborhood...
Interesting Tour with profound guide

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.

Een geweldige ervaring. Met een klein clubje, een geweldige gids een heel mooi deel van New York gezien. En wat een geweldige ervaring, een gospel dienst. Erg warm ontvangen. De dienst die bezocht werd, wordt bezocht door meerdere toeristen, dus het kan wel voelen als een attractie. Wij zaten echter op de voorste rij van alle toeristen en hebben dat dus niet zo ervaren.
