What To Expect
Where you are standing right now is the very spot where Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat because of the color of her skin. She was not the first, nor the last to be arrested. But her actions sparked the civil rights movement and brought national attention to Martin Luther King Jr. Here you will hear the story of what happened that day. Our tour starts here. We will only be outside. If you want to go inside you can pause the tour and buy a ticket. This is an outdoor walking tour.
We will stop by the courthouse and hear about Judge Johnson who ruled in favor of Rosa Parks and changed history.

5.00Very good tour. We learned lots about the civil rights movement in Montgomery as well as Selma. Very well done. Clear commentary. Walking distance was about 1 1/2 miles, possibly more than needed. If walking is challenging, you can cut out the loop by the courthouse.

5.00We really enjoyed this tour. The narrator provided an interesting overview of Montgomery history in a very clear language. The timing was excellent as we moved from one site to another, accompanied by clear descriptions of our route. It was easy to access the tour on my phone. I will definitely look for more WalknTours as we travel.
