Wow. Neal is a knowledgeable, passionate, and animated educator. My whole family really enjoyed this tour.
Neal took us through history from the 1600s, when Harlem was home to native people, up to the recent decades of hip hop where stars rose literally from the streets of the neighborhood.
Most of the tour centered around the Harlem Renaissance - Neal took us to many of the most famous landmarks throughout including the Apollo.
I've been in New York for 2 years and this was a really great way to learn a lot about the significant role Harlem played in New York history.

Our tour guide was absolutely knowledgeable about his neighborhood. We appreciated hearing about his personal experiences living in Harlem. Meeting up with local residents was a plus. The tour, however, was not quite the Multimedia Harlem Renaissance tour I expected. First, there was no media except for photos on his phone. Second, I was hoping to learn more about the Harlem Renaissance, its important participants and its impact on NYC and on the country. We got a small taste of this info but I hoped for a deeper dive. It was a fun, interesting tour but not as academic as I wished for.

We had a Saturday tour booked thru Harlem Heritage. An hour before, our tour guide texted to say something came up and he would not be able to make it, leaving a lobby-full of disappointed people. But more disconcerting was the lack of correspondence regarding a refund. Neither the tour guide or the office responded to my inquires regarding a refund of the $80 we paid. I ended up having to go thru my credit card company to resolve the issue. That is far from professional.

This was truly a lovely day. We felt like we were walking around with the mayor of Harlem. His knowledge and enthusiasm is a beautiful thing.

We loved it and highly recommend it! Plus our tour group ran into two local celebrities, and our super tour guide introduced us, told us why they were each historically important and seamlessly wove their stories into the wonderful Harlem history he was telling us about.
