It Was The Highlight of My Trip! - I had a fantastic tour with Mr. Henry! I had so many questions that our 1 hour tour lasted for about 3-4 hours. The information he provided was priceless. Black History is a touchie subject for some, so if you are not ready for the truth, don't ask the question. I asked Mr. Henry why doesn't he teach a class. I will let him answer that question on your tour. Thanks Mr. Henry for taking the time to answer all of my many questions.

Memorable! - This was my first time to Atlanta and this tour has to be on the top of your list of things to do! A memorable experience! Henry our tour guide was extremely professional and insightful of the history of Atlanta. The hotel pickup and drop off option was an excellent added convenience. I highly recommend!

Phenomenal Tour & Guide - Learning about the outstanding black history (Independence, wealth, strong community values) was great! Henry, our tour guide, is truly a credit to Atlanta, Black History and the tour company. He engaged my two sons (age 11 & 13) and kept them interested. The car was very comfortable for us and the information flowed smoothly! This tour was awesome!

“Poor Black History Atlanta Tour” 5/22 - The driver waited too long to start the Black History Atlanta tour. After picking us up late, he parked after driving out the parking lot and talked for about 15 mins....,Also comments about politics caused a little contention in the car between my quest and the driver..... In conclusion the driver was very thorough about the black history shared and other info stated.
The tour would have been more effective if the driver would have started driving and talking instead of parking his car and talking. Also, he should have left politics out of his tour.
In conclusion, I do not think my tour was $130. Kathleen James

Extremely disappointed!!!! - I can not believe that I have received a request to provide a review. I booked a private tour based on a recommendation. The tour guide did not show up nor call. Customer service was not helpful when I called to request the status of the tour guide. I’m also still waiting on my refund. This was a terrible experience!!!
