We were greeted very warmly by our guide and given a first rate tour of Harlem by longtime resident Cheryl. She gave us a great historical perspective and information about Harlem. She took us to a couple of jazz clubs that were off the beaten path and both were terrific and loads of fun. Overall a great experience.

I took my family to the Harlem Gospel Holiday Celebration up at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. It was a lot of fun. It wasn't quite as Chirstmasy as I expected but boy those men and women can sing.

Although the rain on the day meant the walking tour was cancelled, we very much enjoyed the afternoon jazz performance in the church and the friendliness of the organisers. We were very much welcomed when we arrived and the hosts were very helpful (even lending us an umbrella to get to the church. There was no issues in being refunded for the cancelled tour.
