LARRY WAS AMAZING! We didn’t want to leave the tour when it was complete. The tour was filled with African American culture and beautiful sites. Larry was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I’d definitely recommend this to friends and we’d rebook for sure if ever in NY again.

It was a great experience learning more about harlem and the details of the harlem Renaissance. Larry was extremely knowledgeable about the history and I truly enjoyed the stops we made and the nuggets of information. My favorite part was the personal connection with the people in the neighborhood and learning about how Langston Hughes left his mark and legacy in harlem. I enjoyed this tour with my sons age 12 and 15. I want to come back with my father who is an avid jazz fan.

I always heard about Harlem and its rich history, never knew about how it was developed and why. Every stop along the way I learned something new about Harlem and its culture. On my next visit I will return to Harlem and visit Hotel Victoria. Now that I know Larry gives other NY tours, I will make them a part of my visit again.

I did The Soul of Harlem Walking Tour today because I had a cousin in town who wanted to visit Harlem. It was such a great experience. Our tour guide Larry was so knowledgeable and passionate about Harlem and really went out of his way to make the experience enjoyable for all of us. I highly recommend taking this tour. It was a great day that I’ll never forget.

I read about The Tour of Harlem in an article in the Christian Science Monitor that inspired me to actually take the tour in my upcoming trip to NYC. Larry who gives the tour was outstanding in his knowledge of Harlem’s history, the Harlem Renaissance, black, historical landmarks, social justice activists, and current events. Larry was engaging truly conducts an inspiring tour. I highly recommend this tour!

Everyone who visits New York should take Larry's Soul of Harlem Walking Tour. It was very informative, covering the history of Harlem and the very important period of the Harlem Renaissance. Larry was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, well organized and an excellent communicator, including before the tour.

Larry was an AWESOME tour guide on our Harlem Renaissance tour! He started at the Harlem Metro North Line and explained some fantastic art that I would never have stumbled on if I were on my own. He talked about the importance of Langston Hughes to the area, as well as about the incredible jazz musicians and mural artists who made Harlem a cultural mecca. We finally ended the tour with a stop at the Apollo on the famous 125th Street. I highly recommend you take this tour to discover a part of NY that makes New York the greatest city in the world! Thank you Larry!!
