Walking the walk
Sun, Oct 25  11:00 AM rick2paul1 Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We were privileged to have such a knowledgeable jazz enthusiast in Paul, who guided us so well around the highlights of 'Jazz Harlem'. Those venues that had been sadly demolished were still pointed out, so that we had a sense of the full history. The music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday etc. sound better to us now we have walked a little bit of their patch. Thanks for a great experience!

A great insight into this Borough
Mon, Oct 19  10:00 AM waggywoo Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Other
This tour proved that there is so much more to New York than Manhattan. Paul was a charming and knowledgable guide and showed us so many different sides to Brooklyn. Although a full day tour, the pace was fairly gentle, so suitable for all. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great way to get acquainted with Brooklyn...
Fri, Sep 18  10:00 AM acrossland Unspecified 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We have been to New York (Manhattan), but have never been to any of the other boroughs. We decided that we wanted to visit Brooklyn, but not really knowing anything about it we were unsure where to begin. This was a great way to visit a lot of different areas in Brooklyn - Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Brighton Beach, Prospect Park South, Coney Island, etc. Paul provided information about the neighborhoods as well as historical background and now we have a whole list of places we'd like to return to in Brooklyn for our next trip. Thanks Paul!

See you again soon Paul!

Inspiring Walk for Jazz and History Lovers
Sat, Jun 6  11:00 AM maureenkenn Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Individual
I thoroughly enjoyed the Harlem Jazz Walk and I would recommend it to anyone who loves jazz, history, and architecture. It certainly was good value. Our tour guide Paul Blair was excellent - extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the great African American jazz players who lived and worked there and their music. We had lots of time to take photographs and Paul enthusiastically answered our questions. Paul's tour was a treat for the jazz connoisseur as well as for the person who is just discovering jazz. He managed to make it interesting for everyone. It was one of the high points of my visit.

From the vary first minutes of our tour it seemed that Paul was just an old friend showing you around town. Without a doubt the best tour we took on our vacation. Highly recommended.

Bountiful Brooklyn
Thu, May 21  10:00 AM perky1953 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Enjoyed our day and learned so much about the many things there are to see & do in Brooklyn. Paul was a most pleasant & informative guide--moving our group along in a relaxed manner--which was most enjoyable after our previous hectic days in Manhattan. We're looking forward to revisiting several of the neighborhoods, parks, museums, and restaurants that were pointed out to us during our day.

The tour guide was so fantastic. He knew so much about all the historic buildings and the architecture of Harlem. It was a great way to see a very historic part of the city. It's a must see tour...more interesting than other areas of Manhattan. Wear sneakers because you will be walking alot! It was a fabulous time. The tourguide was the best!

Wonderful insight to Harlem and jazz history
Sun, May 10  11:00 AM CTORNBOHM Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Individual
I had no idea that there are so many terrific neighbourhoods, houses, churches and jazz haunts to discover in Harlem, New York. This trip will bring to life the hip jazz locations of the 30's and 40's. A great use of a sunday morning - meet by the Chase bank - which used to be a ballroom!

We spent a very lovely day with our guide. He was informative regarding the area. He was a very plesant guide who knew his facts. We explored a lot of territory in the six hours of the tour. We felt the tour was money well spent.

A nice break
Mon, Apr 13  10:00 AM GlenCopeland Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
After a couple hectic days in Manhattan over the Easter long weekend it was a nice break to branch out and tour a different, quieter area of the big city and The Bountiful Brooklyn Tour was just what the doctor ordered. My girlfriend and Myself were fortunate to be the only people booked for this particular day so we got to have Paul, our tour guide, all to ourselves. Paul guided us through the wonderful neighborhoods filling us with such information that it felt as though he had lived in each of these areas himself. Hopping on and off the subway added to the 6 hour adventure with the climax being Brooklyn Heights and walking back to Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge. Thanks again Paul!
