Chris did a great job driving and teaching. He’s great at his craft. He knows a lot about the Civil War, especially how it relates to Atlanta. If you like Marvel or movies in general, this tour will give a bonus.

Our tour guide Chris was excellent. We both love history so he adjusted our experience to detailed (in-person) context so we were able to connect our knowledge to important historical site. Last year we did Williamsburg (we wanted to see where America began). This year we wanted to experience our historical tour during Black History Month. The Civil Rights movement was a paradigm shift for America and we found that Chris “conversationally” provided us a very informative (and rich in context) tour.

Going to ebenezer Baptist church and MLK park at the end but we spent the first 2 hours driving around looking at houses and hearing about all the movies that are filmed in Atlanta. There was nothing about civil war or civil rights struggles in this tour except for the MLK park

Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. He took us all around Atlanta and knew so much about each area we went to. He pointed out points of interest we would not have noticed otherwise but were definitely noteworthy, such as the multiple murals painted around the city. We got an overview of all of the neighborhoods in the city and got to hear what was special and unique about each. We went to the MLK state park, and that was a truly inspiring and humbling experience. He suggested food spots we should check out and we were not disappointed. There were no negatives about the tour. It enhanced our entire visit. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Chris was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Being a history buff, it was interesting seeing the civil war gravesites and learning all that happened to Atlanta during that time. I also enjoyed seeing the MLK birthplace and Park

I have lived most of my life in Atlanta, but I have a new appreciation and love for my city. I was thrilled to get to go on this tour, as it had been on my bucket list for years! Melinda was an excellent guide. She is so knowledgeable and able to succinctly give a picture of how the city has changed over time and who the active players have been as we drove and walked through neighborhoods around the center of the city. She deftly expressed the nuances of the people and history, the good and the difficult, and how we have come to where we are today. Thank you for sharing your love of the city and your vast knowledge and interesting stories!

Great trip to see a span of history in Atlanta. Chris was exceptional in his understanding of Atlanta history, and key spots to visit. MLK National Historical Park is outstanding.

Chris was very knowledgeable of the history of Atlanta. It was great to see various Atlanta neighborhoods and how they have evolved after the civil war through socioeconomic changes of today. The MLK site was a must see and Chris was able to guide us through to see some of the highlights of the exhibit in the limited time we had.

Seeing the home of Dr. King’s youth and standing by his church took my breathe away and brought tears to my eyes. Where would we be without his life and example?

The guide was knowledgeable and very accommodating. The vehicle was comfortable. We visited quite a few very interesting places and he always had interesting information to provide. He made it feel like we were just talking with a friend about the various places that we visited around Atlanta.

Malinda was very knowledgeable and informative. Even when it started pouring rain we kept going! And got to see everything we had hoped for. A great and very meaningful day!

Dan, our driver, was excellent. Arrived on time, knew his way around, very nice guy that really knows Atlanta history. My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. It was our first visit to Atlanta and this really helped us keep to know the city.

This tour far exceeded our expectations. My husband and I were in Atlanta for a conference, and had a few hours to see Atlanta. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and Melinda, the tour guide was extremely well informed, pleasant, interesting, and concerned about our well-being and interests. The tour was at a pace that was right for us—we are in our 70s—But I understand they have tours for children. It was a great combination of walking through historic site, like the historical cemetery, and riding in a comfortable man. With just the two of us along everything was tailored to our. needs. I think I now understand the importance of Atlanta in the Civil War and Reconstruction and how Atlanta’s history lead to its crucial role in the civil rights struggle and the development of Martin Luther King. I highly recommend this tour.

Dan was punctual in picking us up from our accommodation. His vast and deep knowledge of Atlanta was so informative and gave us a real understanding of the city. Nothing was too much trouble. Dan stopped for us fo a coffee break when asked - benefits if a private tour! A must do tour if you come to Atlanta!

I'd never been to Atlanta but I knew that it's a big sprawling city that's somewhat difficult to navigate. I booked this tour for its focus on history, but I got a lot more than that. Dan "situated" us in the city so that I had a much better idea of where things were located in the sprawl. Dan picked us up at our hotel and drove us in his comfortable car from neighborhood to neighborhood, and he focused on the development of Atlanta from its beginnings until modern times. Within that context, he brought us to Civil War/Civil Rights sites so we didn't have to spend all day trying to figure out how to get from one place another -- he saved us loads of time, in other words. The development of Atlanta's neighborhoods was fascinating to see. We ultimately ended up in the historic ML King neighborhood, where he gave us an overview of the sites there and tips on how to best see the area on our own. (We returned to the area the next day by ourselves so we could go through the neighborhood at our own pace.) Finally, he dropped us at the Ponce City Market, which is also near the Beltline, so we could continue the city tour by ourselves. All in all, Dan gave us a great, informative tour of Atlanta. Highly, highly recommend.
