5.00Excellent tour! Mr. Williams was a wealth of knowledge. This was the best tour that we have ever had. It is well worth the money. Mr. Williams was able to accommodate my mother and teenage daughter. He answered all of our questions throughout the tour. If you can do only one thing while in Montgomery, I would recommend that you choose this tour.
A must do

5.00Jake Williams shared his personal, first hand knowledge of Montgomery, Selma and places in between with our group. He shared his own experience from the 4th day of the Selma-Montgomery March, and his perspective on the area today. This was a powerful experience.

5.00Jake is a reservoir of information! As a native Alabamian, he gives a personal touch to the rich history he tells of Alabama, Montgomery, and Selma. Jake provided comfortable transportation in a large van as we toured the Civil Rights sites and learned more about important events. that took place here. Jake is an exceptional host!
Fantastic Civil Rights and Voting Rights Tour of Selma and Montgomery Alabama

5.00Jake’s knowledge of key civil and voting rights people and places was educational. We learned a lot about the march from Selma to Montgomery. Jake gave us a street by street bus tour of both cities complete with history and Jake’s personal experiences. The Lowndes Interpretive Center was a well kept secret to us. The museum is small, but something every American should visit if they are visiting the Selma. Thanks for a great tour, Jake.
Excellent Civil Rights Tour

5.00We really enjoyed our tour of Montgomery and Selma with Jake. It added so much to our experience to hear about the region and history from someone who grew up here and had participated in a seminal event in the Civil Rights movement. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00The trip was very educational. So much history. There is so much more that could be told. The places of interest need updating and more national attention. I recommend traveling there.
