The group visits the Apollo Theater, a key venue since the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, where many performers have showcased their talents. Next, the tour stops at the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Manhattan’s oldest house, which served as George Washington’s command post during the Revolutionary War. Guests also see Strivers' Row, a historic area with rows of distinctive townhouses, followed by a visit to the Cotton Club, a nightclub and restaurant famous for its entertainment history. The walk continues to Sylvan Terrace, a cobblestone street lined with 19th-century wooden rowhouses. On Sunday mornings, the tour includes attendance at a gospel choir service, providing a live musical experience typical of Harlem’s church culture. The tour lasts about four hours and is conducted on foot with walking segments averaging around 15 minutes. An optional upgrade is available to include a soul food brunch at a local restaurant after the gospel service. The tour covers all major stops in Harlem even if the gospel service is held in the Bronx.
