Loved this tour and highly recommend. It was our private tour with no one else. Tourists at Volcano Mtn walked along w. - A++ David was excellent. He called ahead to tell us he was arriving. He was dressed like a tour guide, beautiful cape/ coat for a cold day, hat, and began telling us all about Birmingham as we drove.

Very nice tour. - David our tour guide gave my Wife and I a wonderful tour. He showed us around Birmingham for around 4 hours! Since we were going to the Sloss Iron Mill Tour the next morning, we skipped this part and showed us other interesting things. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get an overall view of Birmingham's history.

My Solo Tour - I had an amazing time with David on my tour. He is so knowledgeable and personable that I felt like I was being treated like a family member. Learning about the Vulcan statue and the history of mining in Alabama was outstanding. I very much recommend taking this tour… whether you’re solo or with a group, you will learn much more than you ever knew! I’ll be back, for sure. ~LaTwan

Birmingham history - Our tour operator was knowledgeable about the history and sites of Birmingham. He was accommodating to us. However the vehicle used smelled of smoke.

I was looking forward to a view of Birmingham, but the Tour Guide was very negative - David did nothing but bash the places that we went. I don’t think he actually likes anything about Birmingham?? He’s definitely homophobic and spends his entire tour mansplaining. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
