The tour was awesome! I would recommend this tour to anyone. Our tour guide was great, well informed and engaging. By the end we were all like old friends. I plan to take this tour again when other family members visit.

The Civil Rights Tour was absolutely excellent from start to finish. Our guide was outstanding – knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate – and really brought Atlanta’s rich history to life. We learned so much about the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King Jr., and the incredible journey that Atlanta and Georgia have gone through to become the vibrant city they are today. The tour itself was very thoughtfully organized. We were offered beverages, snacks, and juice, and we got to see so many different artworks along the way. The atmosphere on the bus was wonderful – everyone was positive and kind, which made the experience even more special. This was not only educational but also deeply heartwarming. The operator represents Atlanta beautifully, and I cannot recommend this tour enough. A true 10/10 experience!

You should plan for longer than advertised. Our tour was close to five hours. I am new to town and decided to gift this to myself as a birthday present. I am so glad I did. I learned and saw a lot and had a good time. Highly recommend to anyone. Also a good value.
