Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hi Eloise! Thank you for the amazing five-star review of our Harlem Renaissance Walking Tour with Lunch on March 15, 2024. We are delighted to hear that you had a fantastic experience. Jonathan is an exceptional guide who possesses extensive knowledge about Harlem and its significant contributions to history. He goes above and beyond to highlight the pivotal role of this vibrant neighborhood, bringing to life the remarkable individuals who were part of it. At our company, we prioritize more than just rushing from one place to another. Our utmost pride lies in creating an informative and thoroughly enjoyable tour for everyone involved.
Fantastic tour
MICHELLE_W, Jun 2023
I enjoyed the history of the buildings and how things have changed over time. Debbie was very very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal. She gave us a few minutes to make purchases from a small business and the lunch was absolutely delicious!!!! Would definitely recommend this tour. I do have 2 minor suggestions…. 1. A speaker or mic with ear pieces as sometimes it was hard to hear bc of the road noise. 2. Build in a 15 minute drink break maybe at the Harlem Cafe (maybe a shared group snack) In spite of those small suggestions, my entire family was amazed at the information we got on the tour. The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge not only about Harlem but the city of New York. I book with Viator a great deal when traveling but don’t often write a review however this tour was worthy of my time spent writing this review.
Nice

Very informative. The restaurant we ate at was delicious. Wish there was more time to go inside some places.
Harlem Upclose

Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about Harlem. We learned so much and came to appreciate the culture & history of the area even more.
Historical landmarks and Insider scoop!
Mlissa_S, Jun 2022
Having prior knowledge of the Harlem Renaissance made this tour very exciting to see historical sites, art and references in person! Our tour guide Doris has a very personal connection to Harlem and lots of insider perspective and pop culture history and tidbits to share!

Really enjoyed the tour and the guide was excellent. I would recommend allowing a few minutes to shop in the African market.
A must-do for New York lovers who have never ventured beyond 125th Street!
Michael_F, Mar 2022
Outstanding immersion experience of The Harlem Renaissance. Bibliophiles can’t say they’ve been to Harlem until they’ve walked the streets that Langston Hughes and James Baldwin did. Highly recommend 📚
Eindrucksvolle und nachhaltige Führung
Andrea_B, Jul 2023
...von einer Zeitzeugin, einer 80-jährigen Bürgerin Harlems durch dieses Viertel im Sinne der Harlem-Renaissance geführt zu werden, war bewegend, witzig, lehrreich und nachhaltig. Das Essen in einem typischen Buffet-Restaurant war riesig in der Auswahl und sehr lecker! Diese Tour ist sehr zu empfehlen!

Interessant område. Det gik dog alt for...
Torbensvendsen8, Aug 2016
Interessant område. Det gik dog alt for langsomt, og man nåede ikke meget på de 3 timer, den lokale guide var sød og vidende, men igen gik det ikke hurtigt, og udover det var der pauser som synes helt unødvendige
