Great walking tour - Very good tour. We learned lots about the civil rights movement in Montgomery as well as Selma. Very well done. Clear commentary. Walking distance was about 1 1/2 miles, possibly more than needed. If walking is challenging, you can cut out the loop by the courthouse.

An Introduction to Montgomery - We really enjoyed this tour. The narrator provided an interesting overview of Montgomery history in a very clear language. The timing was excellent as we moved from one site to another, accompanied by clear descriptions of our route. It was easy to access the tour on my phone. I will definitely look for more WalknTours as we travel.
