Good to know
- Church services may be held in the Bronx, however the tour will still cover the Harlem itinerary
- Shorts and tank tops are not allowed to be worn on this tour. Harlem Spirituals Inc. reserves the right to refuse clients improperly dressed and will not refund the service
- Soul Food is traditional African American cuisine that originated in the South in the United States. Today it has become a highly sought after cuisine. It consists of spicy ribs, collard greens, fried fish and chicken, freshly cooked corn bread, and a few side dishes like black eye peas, okra, or macaroni and cheese to mention a few.
- Guests are invited to take walks through the neighborhoods visited. The average walk is about 15 minutes.

Guide absolutely terrific church service not so much
Would highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Harlem tour, our tour guide Peggy was incredible, very knowledgeable about the area and history and a very interesting lady in her own right. The gospel church itself was the highlight of our NY trip was a beautiful and inspiring experience.
The essentials are there but...
The gospel mass will remain a unique moment, which deserves the excursion. However, chance of the calendar probably, we almost did not get off the bus (impossible to visit the Apollo Theater, due to work, while it was also a wish .. and proposed to visit). Of course, the organizers are not responsible for the work, but they should compensate. The time "saved" seems to have been used to name all the buildings of the city we crossed on the return...
Excellent guide just some on and comments about the interpretation.
Guide was top notch. Knew a lot about it. What was disappointing was the gospel session in church, this one is too commercial. Pastor talks about money all the time and wants to raise as much as possible for the poor. Contrast is that there is a fat Maybach car outside in the pastor's parking lot. This is not possible! A lot is told by the guide about where to eat Soulfood in Harlem, but the tour will take you back to starting point and you will miss that experience. Luckily we got off in Harlem and walked around and enjoyed Soulfood.
Beautiful Experience in Harlem
Very interesting perhaps because we had an exceptional guide named Peggy. The gospel service is fabulous.
