Great tour - Great tour. It took me an hour and 20 minutes to complete. I got about 6000 steps in. But the tour does not take you back to the starting location so be aware of that.

Great information - The app was very user friendly and I switched frequently from the map to the written dialogue and paused many times…. Great information and good time spent at each location.

A missed opportunity? - We were not able to take this tour. Our schedule got complicated and the 94 degree heat would not be kind to us 82 year olds. A refund would be nice but I don’t expect it to happen. Fran Lucash

A lot of walking - We started at the old station museum which was closed when we arrived. There are no toilets and nothing was open so we were a bit desperate until the lady opened up at 10 am. The tour is informative and we took in about five stops but after we hiked onto the famous bridge we realized we were going to have to get back to our vehicle which was a long hike. We completed the walking tour in our air conditioned car! Selma is not particularly tourist friendly. We did meet a fellow on the bridge and he asked us for money, but he was a bit sketchy so we declined. Another fellow had a tent set up selling t-shirts and books, saying his funds would go to help children go to summer camp. We opted to purchase a t-shirt for the cause. The audio tour was a good option and we got a sense of life in Selma in the sixties. It was a sad period in American history.

Selma - Very interesting tour… easy to follow. Wish Selma had more economic support. It was depressing to see such important and historic sites surrounded by distressed buildings and neglect

Sad reflections of past and present but a must see - The tour was a valuable review of the history of the area. Signage was poor. Such a profound era of our shared past. So sad to see the broken glass, shuttered doors and failed commercial ventures. A heartache to see the area so forgotten. The Depot museum, the Reflections Cafe and the Five and Dime that hosts a gourmet chef were some bright spots.

Go in a large group, in day light. - We drove to the beginning location and felt quite uneasy. The whole area looked very run down and abandoned. Buildings were boarded up, rusting cars, trash. It was very sketchy. I know that was the way it was in Selma in the 60s but we decided to just skip it.

False advertising - It didn’t work ,& there was no support from the company. Essentially, aviator stole our money! Even this review doesn’t work.
