    Excellent Harlem Tour with Neal!

    Beverly_T, Dec 2025
    It was a 3 hour walking tour. Neal was very knowledgeable and professional. He took pictures with us and for us. Thank you!

    No show

    Mary_K, Dec 2024
    The guide didn’t show. I called and he said it was a communication problem with Viator not telling him when there are bookings. Also even if he’d showed he said the concert portion of the experience is no longer part of it.

    DO NOT BOOK

    Paul_L, Dec 2024
    There wasn't actually a tour. Went all the way up to Harlem and waited as instructed. When nobody showed, I found the number for the owner, who indicated that there was no tour today and that it should not be on the Viator site. Now working on getting the refund.

    While we GREATLY...

    Philip_L, Dec 2023
    While we GREATLY appreciated our guide’s impromptu solution to our tour’s problem (he really was great), we didn’t get what we paid for, weren’t given any notice of the problem, and—after the impromptu— weren’t contacted with any explanation or apology.
