5.00A true Atlanta MUST! Henry was an amazing tour guide as we traveled thru the history of the south thru the eyes of a slave, from capture to equal rights! I would highly suggest this tour to history buffs from all over the world! The audio and video accompanying the tour were spot on! Thank you Henry for making the day such a success!
Fascinating

5.00This tour started with the Rosswell plantations and the slave trade. I heard about the brutality, and the money invested in the slave trade. The buildings were beautiful- but at what cost? Then we went on to the civil war, and the history leading up to the fight for Atlanta was fascinating. And finally we came into Atlanta to see the birthplace, church and tomb of Dr Martin Luther King, but also see a bit of the history about how black people were treated and how the thriving neighbourhood was ultimately financially ruined. It was eye opening and I learned so much. I’m grateful to Henry for sharing his knowledge and enabling me to better understand parts of history that I hadn’t really grasped. It has been a great way to start my trip to Atlanta
