Thinking about gifting the Harlem Walking Tour!

I’m considering this for my parents’ anniversary. They’ve never been to Harlem and love history! I love that it includes lunch too. Anyone know if the walking is intense? My dad has knee issues, so I’m a bit worried.

Just went on the Harlem Walking Tour, what an experience!

Wow, I just got back from the Mount Morris Park Historic District tour and it was amazing! The guide knew so much about the area’s history, and the architecture was stunning. Plus, lunch afterward was delicious; I tried the best Southern comfort food! Can’t recommend this enough if you're looking for a unique NYC experience.
