The tour was excellent. The tour started with an overview of the history relative to Montgomery. As we were driving through out the city our tour guide (Mr. William) shared information regarding the buildings and various neighborhoods. Additionally, he took time to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour.
Very meaningful tour of Montgomery’s history

Jake was an excellent guide with deep knowledge of the complexity of Montgomery’s history. The van was easily accessible and in immaculate condition. We are so glad we were able to join Jake for a 3 hour experience.

Mr. Williams is a thoughtful and expert tour guide. There were two of us, my 10 year old granddaughter and me. He curated our 3 hour tour towards our interest in Rosa Parks. He arrived at our hotel more than a half hour early in order to insure that we got to the museum for the Rosa Parks Program that day. He is a wealth of historical knowledge and he is an excellent driver. He knows Montgomery like the back of his hand. He is sensitive to the physical needs of his clients both children and adults. I recommend him if you want to get an overview of the history and geography of the area. He is quite pleasant and courteous.
Perfect way to experience Montgomery history

We were picked up at our VRBO by Jake. He was early and very polite. We drove past a lot of historical sites, museums, and cemeteries. Jake explained everything that we were seeing. He provided context for a lot of facts that we knew. We can't wait to come back and visit a lot of places that we learned about. We highly recommend this for mixed age families who can't do a lot of walking.

Jake, our guide, was wonderful! He gave us the perfect private tour of Montgomery...a city filled with so much history and charm. My daughter and I were impressed with Jake's depth of knowledge, communication skills and thoroughness. He greatly surpassed our expectations and taught us so much history of this wonderful city and people. Learning more about civil rights history, and how Montgomery was in many cases the epicenter, gave us such an appreciation of what was both endured and conquered over the years. If you can spare 3 hours, book this tour. You won't regret it!
Immersive experience of Montgomery

If you want to learn about and see historical sites associated with the Civil Rights movement, this tour is highly recommended. Mr. Williams is informative and shares interesting antidotes about the struggle for freedom. This tour is not just for history buffs but for children to know the sacrifices that were made for their benefit.
