We loved it. Carolyn was very informative and certainly knew and is passionate about the area. The whole night was so full of history, local knowledge, good food and great music. The only down side for us is that we booked the tour at the beginning of hour vacation so we were so tired from travelling - but it didn't affect the enjoyment one bit. Really loved it and will definitely go back in the future.

Hi Carolyn,
Back home... bouhou...
We had a wonderful time. The soul food and jazz tour was toursuperb, although we were very tired. too tired... sorry... we should redo it. but nonetheless we carry this tour in our memories as a hit in our trip...
AND we were very foolish not to buy the cd in the Jazz club, cos the music really was most brilliant! So we would like to ask you a favor. Could you get hold of a CD of the band playing that night or if not possible, a CD of an equally good jazz band? We gladly take the cost of the cd and the shipping cost. We would like to donate it to Peter, our boss, and we are now so sorry we did not think of it at the time... seflish and also too tired or as we were... pfouiii...
You did a very good job and we loved the way you toured us around in part of Harlem... Everybody was excited about it...
We also send you some pictures with you in them. Feel free to post them on your website, which is truly pro... as well as part of our email congratulating you with your work and initiatives!
Big hug, hope to see you again and we wish you the very best in the business! And hope you guys, (Laurence and inc...) have a wonderful jazz and art event next weekend)
