Welcome to Atlanta - I had the pleasure of taking this tour over Memorial Day weekend, and it was truly an exceptional experience! It offered a fantastic overview of Atlanta’s rich Black history, along with some fascinating tidbits about other famous landmarks and figures along the way. Our tour guide, Jeff, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate—an absolute GOAT when it comes to showcasing the city's heritage. As a native Atlantan who has been away for over 30 years, I found it both refreshing and insightful to see my hometown through the eyes of a tourist. I highly recommend this tour to both visitors and locals. It’s a great way to reconnect with the city or discover it for the first time. I’m also excited to explore more of their curated experiences in the future—they even offer personalized tours, which is a great option. Thank you for a memorable and meaningful experience!

Educational, Comfortable, and Entertaining - This is a pleasant, easy, comfortable tour esp if you have some elderly. My family (young and old - out of town) attended and we learned a lot and appreciated Jeff's accommodations, lessons and good humor! I love how educational the tour was but also entertaining! This is great if you are new to the town, but I have been here for 30 years and learned so much!
