Doris was very knowledgeable and friendly. She covered many aspects of Harlem’s origins, history, personalities, and architecture.

Doris was enthusiastic and well informed in her commentary of the history and the changes in Harlem. She grew up in Harlem and is a lifelong historian of the area. She pointed out buildings of note, where famous politicians and artists lived, and where events occurred. It was a Sunday, so I was surprised anything was going on, but Doris took us to 2 hidden places that had jazz, cocktails and food available. Harlem has changed so much, I would never have known the history without a guide such as Doris. I felt completely cared for and safe on our walk with her.

It is a small group walking tour of Harlem.
The meeting point is right in front of the Apollo which is now under construction. So a bit confusing. The history of Harlem while walking through the area enriched the experience. We made it to two of the jazz spots they were both great. The guide is from the area and we felt very safe and comfortable . We will be back and I would do this tour again.
