Thank you Dr. King

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?

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.

Dan, our driver, was excellent. Arrived on time, knew his way around, very nice guy that really knows Atlanta history. My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. It was our first visit to Atlanta and this really helped us keep to know the city.

A great way to learn

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.

Response from Host , Mar 2020

This was a wonderful tour. I was able to see a lot more of Atlanta than I otherwise would have. I was picked up by Melinda and we started out stopping at a Civil War battle sight and ending up at the MLK museum. All along the way Melinda proved an interesting narrative of the different sights. I highly recommend this tour for anyone the least bit interested in history.

Dan is an excellent tour guide. He has a passion for his city and excellent knowledge of the Civil War and Civil Rights Movement. A fun afternoon full of facts, little asides and humour. I would recommend anyone to book him.
