Tour with strong emotions - A truly fantastic experience. Accompanied by the experienced and passionate guide Erika, we took this tour in the Harlem neighborhood. Erika’s preparation and passion transported us completely within this fantastic neighborhood. From the strong emotion of the gospel mass to the stories about Malcolm X, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the emotions of the time.

Absolutely recommended! - My partner and I spent an unforgettable morning (New York: Harlem Tour and Sunday Gospel Mass) with a small group of other tourists, and our guide Jacopo. A boy who demonstrates passion in his work and extreme kindness. All the stops in Harlem were very interesting, including the gospel mass. Definitely recommended and, given the quality of the staff, I would also say all their other tours. Thanks again Jacopo! F&S

Excellent tour with great guide. - Excellent walk. Our guide, whose name I believe is written Demoney, was very good and very familiar with Harlem and its stories. We also indicated a very good restaurant at the end of the tour. He used a microphone and a small speaker, which made all the difference for understanding the ride. The church has its audience mostly for tourists on schedule, which takes a bit of the naturalness of worship.

Incredible Church service - The church service was incredible. Very moving. The tour included stop at coffee shop which took 30 minutes. We paid for our own transportation, food and church donation.at $50/person it seemed a bit overpriced given that the guide really didn’t seem to be into it. but it’s NY. 😊

Harlem neighborhood - Discovery of Harlem neighborhood, totally redone, no feeling of insecurity during the day, the police are omnipresent, the chapels are simply beautiful and the gospel mass uncryable (no photos of mass is forbidden).

Harlem Tour + Gospel Mass - I went on this tour with them and I can say I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the gospel mass. The guy who guided us, an Italian with a nice Tuscan accent, was prepared and helpful. I recommend them.

Incredible church service, but poor tour - Church service was incredible and totally made our day. However, the tour itself was lacking in information. Our guide's Italian accent was very thick and hard to understand, especially through her microphone.
