Great Tour and a Repeat Customer - I enjoyed this tour so much last year that I decided to book my nephew and his girlfriend on it during their visit to Atlanta from the UK. As I suspected they both said how great it was , very educational and informative thanks to Henry. I have booked this again for later this year when I have more visitors from the UK

ATLANTA Plantation, Civil War & Civil Rights - A must-do, excellent learning experience in the amazing city of Atlanta. Henry was our guide & I felt like he was a university professor, with the amount of information, context & spirited commentary. We drove around to historical sites, were given time to explore & take photos. My most favorite part was the tour at Ebenezer Baptist Church (my first time inside - an honor to be there) & MLK Jr National Park, his & Coretta's final resting spot. It was an honor to have visited this site again (my second time). I highly recommend this tour & I hope Henry continues to share his knowledge & pure heart for this city. I felt inspired & appreciative!
