    Ross shared a lot of history with us about NYC and Harlem. The food was great and the establishments were interesting. Ross made sure we were comfortable with the pace. He made sure we knew how to return to our accommodations before leaving us near the subway. He spent extra time with us, too! Before our tour, Ross effectively communicated through email and text to assure us where he would meet us. Although the tour was pricey, we would recommend it to others. We will definitely book another tour :)

    I wasn't sure what to expect from Harlem , but this was my 3rd time in New York and I thought that it was about time I stepped outside of the areas I usually explore. Marlon bought me to a few of his favourite eateries in Harlem. We started off with delicious waffles and chicken and had a nice chat about the area. Marlon has been living in Harlem for the past 2 years, so he had a lot of stories to share. The food was so good, but the conversation really made this experience special for me. Thanks Marlon!
