Experience Highlights

Are you ready to discover Harlem like never before? This tour (available in several languages) is not your typical sightseeing tour, it's a total immersion in one of New York's most authentic and vibrant neighbourhoods. Imagine strolling through its streets, feeling its energy and ending with a gospel mass that will make you vibrate. Sounds good, doesn't it? Of course, although you can go with children, they must be over 5 years old.

Let me tell you how it goes: you get on a comfortable private bus that leaves from Manhattan in the morning, perfect to start the day off on the right foot. The tour lasts about 4 hours and when you arrive in Harlem, you'll do part of the tour on foot, so you can experience the neighbourhood to the fullest!

Discover Harlem with a local guide who knows it all: there's nothing better than someone from the neighbourhood to show you around and tell you their stories. Get up close and personal with the people of Harlem and feel the real rhythm of the neighbourhood.

  • Immerse yourself in a gospel service: Experience the music and spirit of Harlem like a local, an experience not to be missed!
  • See the Apollo Theatre and the Theresa Hotel on 125th Street.
  • Discover Harlem's most popular spots: City College, Morningside Heights, Sugar Hill, the Morris Jumel Mansion, Sylvan Terrace and more.
  • Learn at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, one of the largest libraries on African-American culture.

Get ready for a morning full of surprises as you explore Harlem at its best. You'll depart Manhattan early in the morning in a comfortable bus, ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of this iconic neighbourhood.

Once there, you'll stroll the streets and feel the daily rhythm of the neighbourhood. Your expert guide will tell you fascinating stories and take you to the most emblematic spots. Among them, you'll discover the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a place full of inspiring stories about the African-American experience and its impact on the civil rights struggle.

But that's not all, you'll also walk through the Apollo Theatre, where stars like Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Jackson made their mark. Can you imagine the thrill of being in such a historic place?

The highlight of the morning will be attending a gospel service. If you've never experienced anything like this, be prepared to be part of a soul-stirring experience filled with music and passion.

    It was excellent when I saw that people in wheelchairs could attend, I could take my mother with me and she was super excited about the tour, we had a wonderful time. But I recommend to let them know from the beginning if you are taking someone in a wheelchair so that there are no inconveniences later on.
