Description

Discover the culture of Harlem's legendary neighborhood on a bus tour followed by a traditional Gospel service and concert!

Discover the history of the area, which was at the heart of the Afro-American renaissance, during this bus and walking tour. Accompanied by your professional guide, explore the district renowned for its Jazz, Soul and American Swing and visit historic buildings such as the Apollo Theater. Follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther King and Malcom X when they were fighting for civil rights and the end of racial segregation.

At the end of the tour of this historic part of the city, you will attend a traditional mass in a church, where you will be able to enjoy the wonderful voices of the Gospel Harlem choir.

Finally, after mass, a traditional lunch will be served (optional), giving you the chance to taste some typical Afro-American soul food in one of Harlem's best restaurants.
