My favorite part was how knowledgeable the visual tour was and how easy it was to follow. I would recommend drinking plenty of water since it's usually hot out.

Loved being able to walk the tour. Met a man near the fountain who knew his history and gave us some information. It was a nice addition to the app.

Wonderful tour of the Civil Rights Walk. Very well narrated, a bit fast, but easy to pause when needed. This was my first tour through Trip Advisor, but defiantly not my last.

This tour was a great introduction to the events surrounding the Montgomery bus boycott and Selma march. It was a wonderful way to get an overview of the city and what happened there. It is cool that this works by GPS and thus knows where you are and picks up the narration when you get to certain points. We did this early in the morning before museums opened. There's no problem getting around the city, as traffic was very light. Highly recommend.hubjeanne
