I had a really nice afternoon doing the tour with Melinda. It was informative, easygoing, interesting and flexible. I’d try another tour with them next time.

Great trip to see a span of history in Atlanta. Chris was exceptional in his understanding of Atlanta history, and key spots to visit. MLK National Historical Park is outstanding.

Chris was a great guide who had a wealth of information about each of the areas we visited. It was an enjoyable afternoon.

Chris was very knowledgeable of the history of Atlanta. It was great to see various Atlanta neighborhoods and how they have evolved after the civil war through socioeconomic changes of today. The MLK site was a must see and Chris was able to guide us through to see some of the highlights of the exhibit in the limited time we had.

Seeing the home of Dr. King’s youth and standing by his church took my breathe away and brought tears to my eyes. Where would we be without his life and example?

Hearing and seeing the history of Atlanta. MLK Jr grave, church and bithplace. Chris, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and was very personable.

The guide was knowledgeable and very accommodating. The vehicle was comfortable. We visited quite a few very interesting places and he always had interesting information to provide. He made it feel like we were just talking with a friend about the various places that we visited around Atlanta.

Malinda was very knowledgeable and informative. Even when it started pouring rain we kept going! And got to see everything we had hoped for. A great and very meaningful day!

This tour far exceeded our expectations. My husband and I were in Atlanta for a conference, and had a few hours to see Atlanta. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and Melinda, the tour guide was extremely well informed, pleasant, interesting, and concerned about our well-being and interests. The tour was at a pace that was right for us—we are in our 70s—But I understand they have tours for children. It was a great combination of walking through historic site, like the historical cemetery, and riding in a comfortable man. With just the two of us along everything was tailored to our. needs. I think I now understand the importance of Atlanta in the Civil War and Reconstruction and how Atlanta’s history lead to its crucial role in the civil rights struggle and the development of Martin Luther King. I highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide was very informational in the history department. We wasn't rushed. He was very nice. He drove us to all the history hot spot in Atlanta. It was the best part of our vacation.
