There's more to Atlanta than what’s written in textbooks.
On the Black History & Civil Rights Tour, guests walk the same streets where Dr. King was born, preached, marched, and organized. You'll stand before Ebenezer Baptist Church, explore Sweet Auburn Avenue, and stroll along the Civil Rights Walk of Fame. Yet the deeper magic lies off the beaten path—in the halls of Booker T. Washington High School where King was educated, at legendary soul food spots like Paschal’s where strategies were made over collard greens, and at Morehouse College, where young Martin found his voice.

The guide was knowledgeable and went out of her way to provide a great experience for me, in addition to learning a lot of new and interesting facts. I would highly recommend this tour for an in depth look at Black History and the fight for civil rights.

5.00This was an AWSOME experience. We learned so much about our history and the history of Atlanta. Although a lot of the tour was about Martin Luther King, it was still wonderful. We got to see his beginnings and his end and it was very nice to see. It was also great to learn about the wonderful history of Atlanta and how far they've come from so long ago. To learn what impact the Black African American people had on the uprising of Atlanta was a wonderful thing to hear and see. I would love to bring my family on this tour and I will definitely request Carla to do it. Her knowledge and passion for the city and it's history really made the tour more interesting and made you want to know more.
The history lesson you didn't know you needed.

5.00Highly recommended, It starts at the heart of black quarter in Atlanta next to big bethel church with an experienced tour guide . Visitation of church would have been a plus , after a visit to local area u visit the homes of MLK, ebenezer church. The resting place, library, national park service was closed due to government closure unfortunately… but we left satisfied . I would end it by dinner at Paschal’s.
Delightfully inspired!

5.00I have lived in Atlanta for decades but I learned so much about the black history in Atlanta during a recent Chit Chat tour. I saw landmarks I don't know existed, and learned insight into historical black Atlanta businesses. The operator, Carla Morrison, has a joy and passion for Atlanta's history that shines through during her tour. She was fun and knowledgeable and also gave time to explore some on your own . I will check out her additional tours as well. If you are looking to learn about Atlanta's civil and black history in a up close, relaxed and fun way, book Chit Chat Atlanta Tours!
Surpassed my expectations

5.00This tour is nothing short of amazing! Whether you’re a solo travel or with friends and family, you will enjoy yourself. It surpassed my expectations to be honest. From walking around the neighborhood of historical landmarks to driving through significant historical neighborhoods, this tour made me proud feel proud to be an African American. The tour guide Carla made the experience even better with personal stories and connections to historical events and landlords. Definitely give this tour a 10/10!⭐️
