Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Any tips?

A: Comfort is key! Wear comfortable walking shoes since you'll be on your feet quite a bit. Dress in layers as well, since NYC weather can change quickly. If it looks like rain, a light waterproof jacket would be a good idea. Don’t forget your sunglasses if it’s sunny!

Thinking about gifting the Harlem Walking Tour for my parents—thoughts?

I’m thinking of getting my parents a Harlem Walking Tour for their anniversary. They love history and music, so this seems perfect! I love that it covers the Apollo Theater and Langston Hughes’ home. They might appreciate the cultural insights. Has anyone done it? What was the highlight for you?

Just did the Harlem Walking Tour—what an experience!

I just got back from the Harlem Walking Tour and wow, it exceeded my expectations! The guide was super knowledgeable, and walking past the Apollo Theater and the murals was so inspiring. I really enjoyed the visit to the Schomburg Center, too. If you're considering it as a gift or just for yourself, go for it! You won't regret it.
