Paris, our tour guide, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about MLK’s life story and the movement for racial equality. The stories were told with flavor and vigor that enhanced our tour. I highly recommend the tour and our hats are off to Paris!

Meaningful and memorable. So many thoughtful touches, such as audio and pictures. Jen was fantastic.

Kristin was a wonderful guide. I learned more on her tour than I ever learned in school. The tour was just the right length, and the break at Carissa Cafe was a delightful rest. I really enjoyed walking through the historic neighborhoods and meeting new people in our tour from New York, Canada, San Francisco and California like me.

Kristin was fantastic! Her knowledge and experience made the history come to life. The pictures and recorded speaches added to the experience. I would definitely reccomend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Martin Luther King Junior and Atlana's influence on this part of history. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I signed up for the 03/24/24 tour with Zoe and it was a memorable experience. I was arriving to Atlanta the same morning and getting to the meetup site was going to be on a tight timeline. I reached out the to the guide and communicated my arrival details and felt comfortable that they would still accommodate me. Zoe was a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide and I learned so much from her. After leaving Atlanta, I watched Genius MLK/X, and it similarly brought up many things she mentioned which was a great reminder. I didn't find too many comprehensive MLK history tours so was pleased to find this one and satisfied with the breadth of knowledge that was presented to us. Also, thank you for taking and sharing pictures of us Zoe!

Our guide @Jen H was absolutely fantastic! She promised us a story and told it with eloquence, passion, respect, sadness and real emotion. The tour was full of facts and took in all the sights expected but Jen H brought the whole tour alive. It was deeply saddening that she spoke from true experience of prejudice and hate as a black woman growing up still many years after the demand for human rights that Dr Martin Luther King Jr spoke out for, but inspiring that she clearly wanted to speak so strongly for the values he embodied despite those personal experiences. As a white British man I can never understand what it’s truly like to be judged by the colour of your skin or by your gender but Jen H helped me see something of that through her eyes and the history of the Civil Rights movement which she told us about so well. Whilst I have long admired the life and influence of MLK, Jen H helped us understand fully what challenges black people went through to get the basic human rights many of us take for granted. Whilst the tour revealed the brutality and bewildering injustices black people faced (and still do world wide) it embodied the hope that MLK inspired that love, kindness, celebration of difference and respect for everyone’s humanity through non-violent demand for equal rights in real terms, can be fulfilled despite the continuing barriers. I would thoroughly endorse taking this short walking tour with Unexpected Atlanta and if you get Jen H then it’s guaranteed to both challenge and ultimately uplift you in the belief that humanity has the capacity to rise above all the hate in the world!

Jenny was the most amazing tour guide. She was so knowledgable and adapted so well to the group and was just generally a really kind and considerate person. She taught us so many new things about the life and legacy of MLK, and about Coretta Scott, his wife. Such an engaging speaker and teacher. It was the highlight of our time in Atlanta. You must do this if you have the chance!

Arielle was such an amazing tour guide. A really meaningful tour, and we saw so much. Arielle was incredibly knowledgeable about MLK, Atlanta history, the Civil Rights Movement, and importantly, Coretta Scott King's contributions. Arielle even stopped to get us water on a hot day. Highly recommend this tour!

Arielle makes us feel comforable. She knows a lot about history of Atlanta and Civil Rights Movement. Best tour ever, best guide ever.

Paris was an excellent guide - it was obvious that she knew her subject and was fully committed to ensure we had a great time. The tour was very informative and thought provoking.

Walking through the 4th Ward, Sweet Auburn, was inspirational, educational, emotional, and very memorable ! Jen was a most wonderful guide. Her story, and all that she told us, was from the heart.

The memorial! Move his grave to the museum of him. and his wife. The status of what he stood for freedom for all to should stand with respect and love for everyone.

This is a wonderful tour. It was definitely a highlight to my visit in Atlanta. Arielle was very knowledgeable and engaging. I learned a lot about MLK, Jr. and the civil rights movement that I didn’t know. It was even better to be in the actual places that it happened. I highly recommend it.

Arielle was AMAZING! She spoke with such knowledge, compassion, & emotion. We enjoyed learning/ visiting sites that built the foundation of the civil right movement. Definitely recommend this tour.

My family and I had a wonderful morning filled with rich history and interesting details about MLK and his era. Paris ( tour guide) was fabulous:-)

This was the best walking tour we have ever taken! Zoe was amazing in providing us a historical perspective that had so many heartwarming and interesting stories that linked the history of Atlanta and Civil Rights from 100 years ago to the present. It was easy to listen and learn so much by the way she presented it all. Definitely great edutainment Zoe! Highly recommend!

A very interesting and informative tour that must be done at least once in your life. An added bonus that we had Zoe - an awesome and knowledgeable tour guide.

Great high-level overview of both Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and legacy along with the greater context of Civil Rights in Atlanta. I learned a lot! Choose this tour if you only have half a day for the MLK portion of your trip or pair it with more time in the King Center, Visitor Center and the Ranger talks if you have more time. Joy was our Tour Guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging.

We truly had a wonderful and inspiring time on this tour. Zoe was a delight and did an excellent job of showing us the sights and filling us with historical information which brought great connections to Atlanta's history and the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and the influential people/places in his life.

Our guide Jay was absolutely great - highly knowledgeable really friendly and very entertaining. It's an all round great tour main
