Keith our tour guide is... - Keith our tour guide is super informative, he is literally a walking encyclopedia on Harlem, because of him my friends and I are coming back to see Hamilton on broadway! Definitely booking a tour again!

Harlem Feb 2024 tour - Great!!! Our guide Dr Taylor did an excellent job of explaining, describing and showing our group the history of Harlem and the surrounding area

Everyone should see Harlem - Harlem is one of the most interesting areas in Manhattan and Hamilton Height and Sugar HIll are its most beautiful neighborhoods. The buildings are more magnificent than 5th Avenue (where most of the grand housing has been demolished). The Gothic campus of the City College of New York is a must see. Dr. Keith Taylor was the best of the best as our guide.

Harlem Walking Tour - The tour was a comprehensive overview of the vibrant Harlem neighborhood. Our tour leader was excellent.

What a great tour, above all expectations! - What a great tour, above all expectations! We were guided by Dr. Taylor, who speaks and tells the story of Harlem with enthusiasm and passion. Our group were 40+ students and teachers and we loved every moment of it. For almost 3 hours we visited so many historic places, with great inside information, even the house of Hamilton, the Harlem Y and the Apollo. Thanks again for this perfect experience!

What a great tour! The best ever! - What a great tour! The best ever. Our guide, Dr. Taylor, was just perfect: telling the story of Harlem from the past to the present, walking us through the neighboorhoud with many great stories, and with such a great passion! We were a group students and professors of a European Conservatoire, and we got the best information we were all looking for. Great! This one we will remember for the rest of your life, for sure!

Incredible, intresting and fun tour of Harlem! - Dr. Keith Taylor gave us an incredible tour of Harlem! He wa so knowledgeable and the fact that he is a Harlem native with generations of history and ancestry made it even more rich.

Fantastic experience - Excellent tour. A must if you love architecture and history. A New York I barely knew existed. Guide was amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable.

Somewhat disappointed - I was looking forward to this walking tour and I was somewhat disappointed though I would still recommend this tour. Pros: The tour guide was VERY knowledgeable and was able to give us lots of details about the areas of Harlem that we walked through. It was very educational and filled with local anecdotes and personal stories. I was travelling with my niece (17) and I wanted her to learn about African American history, especially history she may not learn in school and that was accomplished! Cons: Tour operator: I emailed the tour operator twice with questions and I never heard back The tour: We started late because we were waiting for people (who never showed up). The tour was supposed to be 2 hours. After an hour and half, our guide told us that he was running late and the tour would go long so if anyone had plans afterwards we were close to primary subway station and it would b a good time to leave. We had plans for another tour at 1:30 (tour was supposed to end at noon) with a 30ish minute train ride. I didn't want to miss any of the tour so this was really a disappointment. Our guide expected the tour would be an additional 45 minutes. We had to leave early so we missed the part of the tour that covered more recent history like civil rights movement and we missed the Apollo Theater. That was a big disappointment esp because of my (aforementioned) desire to teach my niece about history AND I was looking forward to learning more myself. I would still recommend this tour to others with the warning it may go long and not to plan anything tight after. I hope the tour operator will consider making changes to make this a 3 hour tour OR condense the material to fit within the 2 hour time frame. Also, I'd suggest making a hard start time and recommend people arrive before the start time to ensure us early birds aren't punished by late arrivals.

Didn’t happen - Well it was cancelled less than a hour prior to the tour. I decided to try and see some stuff for myself. Bottom line you really need a guide because Harlem is a bit scary but the people were friendly. I may come back in the summer. I should be getting a refund I was told.
