Our guide gave her own perspective as well as the historical perspective, which added to the richness of the experience.

I live in Nashville and did not know this tour existed. My daughter, who lives out of town, found it on line. What a fascinating and important aspect of Nashville history! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. I thought I knew a good deal of Nashville history, but he taught me a number of things I did not know, which was wonderful. The morning tour may well be the better option, as downtown Nashville can get very busy in the afternoon. But even if you end up navigating the traffic and crowds, the tour is definitely worth it.

great tour, that made our visit to Nashville all the more rich. Thanks so much! We felt like we understood much better what we were seeing and how the city worked.

Excellent tour bringing the history and stories to life. Our guide was enthusiastic, engaging and fun to be with. We learnt lots of information on our first visit to Nashville and leave with a much better understanding of the key role the city played in the Civil Rights Movement. The tour is well paced and diverse in its experiences - from murals to key historic sites to the library civil rights exhibition. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to all. Thanks so much for an enjoyable experience.

The tour was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing and hearing about the important Civil Rights sites and leaders of Nashville. Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. It was an overall awesome experience!

The experience was educational and enlightening. We used some of the content to further examine historical sights in and around Nashville. We would recommend the tour guide have identifiable clothing with logo of tour guide company. Guide was engaging and friendly.

Awesome tour! We were lucky to meet two guides, both energetic, cheerful, knowledgeable, and informative. We learned motivators and impacts of key events, heard memorable stories, saw important locations, and gained insight into several of historically black colleges and universities. We highly recommend the tour.

At first, I thought this tour would be just like those ordinary tours. It exceeded all of my expectations. United Street Tours really did a great job! They made sure that we are having fun while touring. It was an exceptional experience for me and my friends. I've learned a lot and at the same time I got to see the beautiful city of Nashville. I loved how approachable our tour guide is. I also loved how full of resources she was and I was fancied by those facts that she told us. It is a must recommended tour for people who wanted to see the city and its history. I am amazed by this tour. I will definitely book another tour from United Street Tours!

The tour was exceptional. United Street Tours did everything to make sure that the overall experience would be smooth and awesome. It was very informative and we definitely enjoyed every moment of it. This is one of the best tours I've ever booked. More so, we were able to learn more about Nashville’s civil rights movement and the result of it as well. Aside from being so educational, this tour is definitely entertaining. This tour deserves a date in your calendar of events for this year. This is a must!

The tour was well designed, cleverly delivered, and packed with information that taught this Nashville professor new things. I highly recommend it and will be bringing all guests on one tour or another until I have sampled them all!

The tour was awesome. I’ve lived here my entire life and still learned so much. Add this and all tours by United Street Tours to your bucket list of must dos.

My organization scheduled a private night tour with United Street Tours and loved every minute. Our tour guide, Chakita, was superb. She made the tour really interesting and she was very knowledgeable. A must-do tour. We highly recommend it. Our guide was full of resources. When asked, she recommended we read Bobby Lovett’s book “The African-American History of Nashville, Tennessee.

Excellent job done in getting a feel for the people of the time. Well conducted. Good research done.

Chaquita Patterson started United Street Tours as a way to help us all understand the history of the Civil Rights movement, the role that music, businesses, families, individuals, and the community had then and now. Chaquita was engaging for our group of 30 people making us laugh, think, and honor a city with rich tradition that is not going to be found in your average convention and visitor's bureau tour. The stories and insight Chaquita provided were stellar and made this tour enjoyable and educational. You are not seeing Nashville if you are not spending time on this tour.

The Civil Rights Movement Tour is a lively, engaging, and moving experience that offers a fresh perspective on Nashville's past and present.

All of United Street Tours contain information above and beyond most city tours. We used the Civil Rights Tour as part of our school's professional development for teachers, including many native Nashvillians. We all learned things we had never known about our city's history and the people who impacted its development. Chakita was also amazing at linking historical information to present day action. UST provides a critical service for Nashville!

We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide was passionate and energetic. She made the experience very enjoyable as well as informative. It opened our eyes to the events surrounding the civil rights movement in Nashville.

Lauren was was sweet-and shared some great info! The stops were not exactly what I was expecting, but I LOVED the civil rights room at the library!

The African American Culture and Civil Rights Tours are fantastic--I booked them both back-to-back and enjoyed them immensely! The history, of course, is important and fascinating, but the tours are great largely due to the guide, Chakita, and her engaging, knowledgable and kind manner. I loved her storytelling! She shared how vital it is to know those involved in the civil rights movement alongside the more famous Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. The stories she told of individuals, like Paul LaPrad and Diane Nash, were especially moving. What incredible, courageous people--I want to learn more! I left the tours, not only more educated, but feeling hopeful and inspired. I highly recommend both tours and I can't say enough about Chakita!

The Civil Rights Movement Tour was remarkable! This is the best experience in Nashville. Nashville has a lot to offer in terms of country music and entertainment but it was a great opportunity to tap into the city’s diversity by taking this tour. We talked about key civil rights leaders in Nashville such as Congressman John Lewis and the role that black, as well as white people, played. It was a life-changing experience.
