Great Black Culture Tour - Not To Be Missed - This is a great black culture tour as you visit black neighborhoods, see important black culture sites and events, including MLK Center, Churches (old and new), Tyler Perry Studio @ entry gate only on weekends), stop at a great market where the food was the bomb. Jeff, our driver was an awesome host and he has great jokes/comments. He keeps you entertained for the entire tour.

Great tour in ATL - Awesome. Jeff was excellent. Awesome story teller and funny... Loved all the stops. I think I would have liked 45 min at the King stop (I actually went back) but all others were good.

An Amazing Experience - This was a 3 1/2 four hour history lesson that I appreciate I was able to be a part of. Omar, our Ambassador was amazing; very informative and very entertaining. I recommend this tour for everyone. This has been an amazing experience and I really enjoyed the tour from start to finish. If you have never been to Atlanta and it’s your first time, to being a frequent traveler to Atlanta, or even living in Atlanta, I recommend you do this tour at least once. Job well done!!!
