The tour leader was great, funny and very informative. The choir was fabulous! It was absolutely worth it!

We loved this tour. The tour guide was a witty and interesting speaker, and we loved learning about Harlem. The gospel service itself was out of this world - so moving and inspiring. We ended up wishing that we'd had time to do it again. The ARC Gospel Choir is a real credit to your city, and it was a real honour to hear them sing. This tour was a real highlight of our trip to America.

Loved our tour guide ~ she was great at her job. Rated the tour and the new knowledge we took away from the tour ~ found the museum to be truly thought provoking, and the gospel choir and church experience is something that we will never forget. Thank you.

Excellent tour, very informative. Tour provided a different side of NYC that isnt readily apparent from other tour operators. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and had obviously done a great deal of research.

Gospel singing was wonderful. Shame we arrived so much later than the other tour buses & had to sit at the back where we couldn't see. Tour guide was knowledgeable & interesting. However, there didn't appear to be an awful lot to see on our tour other than the gospel choir & the museum. Nevertheless it was a good cultural experience & we enjoyed it.

It was OK, however, we expected more hymns. We will recommend you.

It's the second time I've done the tour! And I must say it was better this time! Bus tour larger, guide excellent, more organized!

Well, the church was painfully uncomfortable due to a lack of cool air (July heatwave). I'll overlook that, plus our tour guide showing up late, since she was very funny and entertaining. But $40 each for a soul food "buffet"-- get real! Instead, my friend and I simply ordered from their regular menu and we spend half that together, including drinks.
