Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable and personable guide named Joy. We learned a lot about MLK and — more generally — Atlanta. Joy took us to places we would never have found on our own and had answers to all of our questions. This is a great tour.

Amazing tour! I wish it was a bit longer and we could actually stop a bit more in the different places. But it is a great preview of what to see and makes you want to come back. Our guide Ariel was just great and you could tell that she cares about what she does and about sharing a piece of history with us. She also was good at engaging us in the tour and trying to create connections amongst us. Just perfect and the way she tells the stories makes it easy to understand and remember even for a young audience (I was with my 9 and 11-year-old children).
