Really good tour, lots of interesting facts and locations. Good mix of driving and walking around (especially after we walked the belt in the morning…) Warmly recommended to adults and families with kids alike.„The Germans“ :)

Jeff was a great tour guide. He had lots of insights about neighborhood developments through the years. He had a good sense of humor throughout. It was nice to be able to stop in a few places to get out and experience the area up close.

The guide was very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Atlanta. Seeing the movie studio was pretty cool, I didn't know much about ATL film industry

The tourist host where very accommodating. When I wasn't able to make the 2PM tour and asked to be moved to the 9am time slot I was immediately called back and my request was honored. I was impressed with their professionalism and at the same time down home demeanor. They also provided us snacks and drinks during the ride. The the place where MLK and his wife Coretta Scott King are entombed at and also Dr.Kings birthplace were impacful even though I was disappointed the house of his birthplace was closed and you could only do a virtual visit. But we still could take photos in front of it. Also I liked how the tour guide provided lesser known facts about the city locals who contributed to Atlanta's rich history. I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is thinking about going.

Jeff was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable about Atlanta and the surrounding areas. He was the best host you could ever imagine. He stopped for my sister to get a great picture of a mural that was not possible if moving. We felt like we were so much a part of what happened. I would recommend this history tour for anyone that visits the city.

My son and I really enjoy the tour. Jeff stopped by all the main areas of interest and other areas not listed in the description. He throughly explained each area and its significance. I recommend anyone interested in Atlanta Civil Rights history take the tour.
