Visiting from Cali - My grandchildren and I enjoyed this small-group tour. Carla was attentive and extremely engaging. She was knowledgeable and provided sufficient time for each location so we didn't feel rushed.

Highly recommended tour of Black history in Alanta. - Carla is an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. Because the group was limited to us, Carla tailored the tour to our interests. She gave us history of buildings, people, and neighborhoods. The Sweet Auburn neighborhood was well done. Murals, MLK's home and FIFI readiness all extras that we enjoyed. Areas were highlighted that we were able to return the following day to view at our convenience. The tour included Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech playing in the background. It was a great added feature but i feel listening to his speech or part of it, without talking over it would have added to the tour. I would also suggest that a list or brief biography be given as a handout to have on the tour. The Black History and Civil Rights Tour was wonderfully presented. I would highly recommend this tour.

Chit Chit Atlanta Tours: Where One's Average Tour Becomes An Experience!!! ... smile - The Black History and Civil Rights Tour was my second tour, on the same day, with Carla Morrison of Chit Chat Atlanta Tours. Her thorough knowledge of Black history, passion for sharing and delivering the same, and enthusiastic personality nearly brings your experience to life. When my family arrived a few days later, I had already scheduled their tour, and even joined them... smile

The history tour you didn't know you needed. - This 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.

Well worth it - Highly 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.
