I have done this tour before with a friend pre Covid, cant remember if it was the same lady who took us. This is an interesting and well thought out tour. Both times i was taken by a lady who has lived in Harlem all her life ( not by a person just doing a job / reading a script ) and who has seen a lot in the hood / changes etc.
The first part is a walking tour of the area. Then we were taken to two jazz events - the first was a concert in a church for a small number of people - very intimate! The second was a bar / venue with different acts every hour - could have stayed all night!
The guide knows her stuff both about Harlem the area, who has played and lived there and the varied jazz scene and took good care of us. Dont miss it, very very interesting tour - twice
