About This Tour

Discover the streets where Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and other cutting-edge Harlem Renaissance players put American music on the world map. On Sundays, we offer a different walking tour that does not visit Striver's Row but encompasses other parts of Harlem for a shorter history walking tour and includes a visit to a local Baptist Church for a true gospel experience. And where Fidel Castro slept after being kicked out of a midtown hotel for having chickens in his room. Harlem's history is also one of the city's most dramatic, having gone through many ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic changes over the past roughly 400 years. This has resulted in a diverse array of places of worship, theaters, homes, and eating establishments. Join us uptown on our signature, award-winning two-hour Harlem walking tour.
