Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The tour was very informative and interesting. We got to see many important landmarks in NYC that could be easily overlooked if you don’t know where they are. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Although our group was pretty large and the weather dreadful, our guide, Liam, made the tour very interesting. He was very easy to understand for non native speakers, and he had a very good sense of humour. I definitely recommend it!

We could not book the tour in French, but as we were running a bit late (do check the subway line), we bumped into the - very large- French group, then Maya, the team lead, took us to our assigned guide , Lourdes, with whom we ended up being 4 French speakers. It was very easy and pleasant to be in such a small group. In addition, Loulou went the extra mile of trying her best French with us, which I very much appreciated as my friend does not speak English. You need to get up early, but it is worth it, and the History of Harlem is undoubtedly a must when visiting New York, let alone the experience of the gospel itself !

The Harlem tour (in Spanish) with Sadie was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the history of Black music and gospel, she also engaged us with singing and rhythm. She was open to questions and used a tablet to show us additional things - also, she was very respectful of the neighborhood. 10/10 would recommend!

Thanks for the awesome tour Liam! So inclusive and knowledgeable of the area. We enjoyed hearing about the history surrounding Wall Street, with a few extras hidden in too. It was a freezing cold day and pouring rain and that didn’t stop Liam from providing an awesome tour! Great tour and great guide!

Liam O’Brien was a fantastic tour guide. So friendly and welcoming and superb knowledge throughout the tour. Being a Brit, his humor was lighthearted and funny (historical irony), engaging the whole group. You won’t go wrong or regret requesting Liam. Thanks Liam!!!
