Would highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Harlem tour, our tour guide Peggy was incredible, very knowledgeable about the area and history and a very interesting lady in her own right. The gospel church itself was the highlight of our NY trip was a beautiful and inspiring experience.

Amazing Experience!
Alvin was an absolutely incredible storyteller and knowledge sharer. Bubba drove us safely comfortably ,in an pleasantly air conditioned bus, all around New York. Our Schedule for the Day: Peace Fountain St John the Devine Church Sesame Street Sign Juilliard School of Music Drive through Upper East Side Apollo Theater (Walked Around) Keep the Faith Statue Hamilton Grange National Memorial (House, Walked Around) Hamilton Statue Morris-Jumel Mansion (Walked Around) 11:15am Church Service (Walked Around) Dropped off at 72nd and Broadway at 12:30pm Recommendations: bring water and a snack if you think you might get hungry between 9am and 1pm. There is no soul food option or food stops on the tour. Bring a fan if you think you might be hot, and a sweater if you think you might get cold.

Watch out! You will not be treated with respect!
Dealing with this organization was as bad a travel experience as I've ever had. My friend and I showed up at the address we were given at 3 minutes after the announced departure. Yes, we were late, but only three minutes. And there was no one there, no message from them asking us where we were, and no response when we called to find out how we could take the subway BACK uptown (we live in Harlem!), and join the tour. When I finally heard back from them, after CONSIDERABLE back and forth, they agreed to refund my $170, IN WRITING, in email, and then....nothing. They just disappeared. I have written them repeatedly, from abroad, to ask them to follow through on their promise to refund the money. Nothing. Ever. Be really wary with this company. My money is GONE, but yours doesn't need to be.

The Perfect Complement to the NYC Day Tour
The Tour Guide was exceptional. I appreciated her respect for the Harlem Community as well as her knowledge about the community. I was also impressed with her fluidity with both the French and English languages and alternating which she spoke first. Her respect for the African American church we attended is to be highly commended. We enjoyed both the NYC day tour as well as this one. Together they provide a more complete picture of the city. Your company might consider packaging the two tours. Also it might prove beneficial to approach some larger African American congregations with balconies about partnering with your Sunday tours.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 998 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour?
+
Around 349 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
