New York Contrasts Tour and Gospel Service

Explore New York’s main boroughs: Harlem, Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx on this approximately six-hour tour of contrasts, during which you’ll also have the chance to experience a gospel service at The Greater Refuge Temple in Harlem.

These New York religious services are world-famous for attracting both the faithful and the non-faithful alike, thanks to their musical and choral performances, which feature predominantly African-American singers.

You’ll discover iconic sites in the city, such as Harlem’s Cotton Club, which was at the heart of the golden age of jazz and blues in the 1920s, featuring artists of the calibre of Louis Armstrong.

You’ll pass by the Apollo Theatre, a must-see for tourists visiting the Big Apple, where musical legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, the ‘queen of jazz’, first made their mark.

As you explore the Bronx, you’ll be able to take photos at the historic Yankee Stadium, home to the New York Yankees baseball team, as well as at the home ground of their eternal rivals, Citi Field, home to the New York Mets, located in Queens.

In Dumbo, on the banks of the East River and beneath the Manhattan Bridge, you’ll enjoy an exceptional view of the giant buildings and skyscrapers of New York’s financial district – something you simply mustn’t miss if you’re visiting the city.

You’ll visit the heart of Brooklyn’s Jewish community as you cross the Kosciuszko Bridge, another iconic landmark in the area, before crossing the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, where you’ll enjoy the popular neighbourhoods of Chinatown and Little Italy.
