I don't know what the experience will be like with Isabelle because she wasn't there, but her replacement Duane is a perfect host, guide and wonderful person.

Duane is a great guide: very friendly, welcoming and passionate about his neighborhood that he knows perfectly. He introduced us to an absolutely authentic and moving gospel mass, an experience that was really worth it. Thank you so much for this unique moment!

We felt that Martine would have loved to tell us even more about Harlem, but unfortunately the time was too short to fully discover this huge neighborhood full of history, which has contributed so much to shaping that of the United States.
The mass completely changed our perspective — for French people, it's an almost unreal experience — but we loved sharing this moment of life with such a warm and welcoming community, without any prejudice.
A very nice appetizer: if we ever come back to New York, we will take the time to explore Harlem more!

Ibrahima was very knowledgeable and funny. He shared many tips and accommodated our drop-off request. The gospel service was welcoming and lively.
We highly recommend this tour.

Martine is a very enthusiastic guide and not stingy with information. She knows how to put people at ease and create a very friendly atmosphere during the visit!
Information about Central Park, Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center… during the trip to Harlem. Stop at St. John the Divine, very interesting.
Very powerful moment during Mass! It's totally immersive and exotic, accompanied by Martine's comments.
Stop next to buy absolutely fabulous cookies!!
Great tour! Thank you 🤩

we had a timeless time with our guide Martine.
it was very informative, full of anecdotes about Harlem that Martine knows like the back of her hand.
As for the mass, it was a surreal moment, full of fervor and benevolence...very powerful! So far from our masses...
