Excellent tour! William was a great guide and showed a true passion for Harlem and the culture. Wear comfortable shoes; the tired feet were worth the experience.

Nice tour among the houses in the central area of Harlem; we were lucky enough to be only 4 so our excellent guide Debi Kops was able to illustrate and explain in great detail the evolution of the neighborhood from the 70s to today.

Really poor tour, very slow pace, few sites visited and with minimal explanation that would have been readily available from a guide book. Tour guide was nice but provided minimal content, no history, no culture. A big shame as was really looking forward to feeling the vibes of Harlem. Not a fun or enriching experience. Completely soulless.
