Interesting experience

Interesting experience to learn a little about Harlem and about the baptist practices. August 7 we could see the annual christening party at the street. Very impressive.

Tour guide Neal led us through the history of Harlem and it’s significance in the civil rights movement and our country’s history. Attending the service at Canaan Baptist Church and walking where giants like Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Malcom X walked was inspirational. Great value. (They should charge more.) Highly recommend.

Our tour guide was excellent. He gave a real, enthusiastic and optimistic guide of Harlem. I learned a great deal ad am excited to share. The worship service is exactly what I needed. It lifted my spirits. I would recommend to all. It is well worth the money.

Neil, the tour guide, was able to get us into the Canaan Baptist church although they weren’t allowing visitors due to COVID. It was a great experience. Neil is clearly well versed in Harlem history and was able to answer questions eloquently and thoroughly. This was my second Harlem Heritage Tour and I plan to another.
Average and below my expectations

The gospel mass was very touristic, half of the church were tourists seeing the mass so it was like a show more than a mass
