My daughter and I had a great time on our bike tour with Alex. He was an excellent guide who had a lot of knowledge of Harlem and its history. He allowed plenty of time for us to take photos, buy some corn bread and look for a souvenir t-shirt. Although a 2-hour bike tour may seem like a lot of riding, it was very moderate with lots of stops. We were fitted with very comfortable bikes and helmets and had a great overall experience. I would recommend this tour to others interested in a close up look at the sights of Harlem.

Super interessante fietstour waar je op plekken komt dat je normaal als toerist niet zou komen! Ik kan het iedereen aanraden!
