Great Tour with Carolyn and Jonathan
Highly recommended and informative tour of Harlem. Carolyn and Jonathan are wonderful people, and we had a great last day in New York with them. Attending a Gospel church during this tour was a highlight of our trip. Thank you Carolyn and Jonathan 😉
We loved this activity. Our tour guide, a Harlem resident, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the multi-ethnic population of Harlem both past and present. The brunch was in a well-chosen and delicious restaurant; the group was congenial. We definitely recommend this.

We started with a bit of a walking tour through the area, and our tour guide Carolyn was so knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us all time to look and take photos and ask questions. We stopped at a church for a couple of hours- which was WONDERFUL. The music and preaching were fantastic and the congregation were very welcoming. Then we went for a great brunch. Overall, I would do this again for sure.
