A totally wonderful experience! Henry was exceptionally knowledgeable in the history of slavery and the Civil Rights movement even in today's times. 100% recommend this tour.
Educational, informational, interesting, captivating with a congenial host. Highly recommend taking this oportunity
Extremely informative and eye opening!
I enjoyed this tour so much last year that I decided to book my nephew and his girlfriend on it during their visit to Atlanta from the UK. As I suspected they both said how great it was , very educational and informative thanks to Henry. I have booked this again for later this year when I have more visitors from the UK
Henry was informative, kind, flexible and interesting to listen to. It was great to be able to align what we have been told with physical sights.
Henry is an amazing, very knowledgeable tour guide! This tour is one you won’t want to miss. We loved visiting the numerous sites and learning more of the history. Thank you Henry!!!
A must-do, excellent learning experience in the amazing city of Atlanta. Henry was our guide & I felt like he was a university professor, with the amount of information, context & spirited commentary. We drove around to historical sites, were given time to explore & take photos. My most favorite part was the tour at Ebenezer Baptist Church (my first time inside - an honor to be there) & MLK Jr National Park, his & Coretta's final resting spot. It was an honor to have visited this site again (my second time). I highly recommend this tour & I hope Henry continues to share his knowledge & pure heart for this city. I felt inspired & appreciative!
Being English my partner and i saw this tour as an education in a part of American history and it didn’t disappoint. Henry, our guide, did a fantastic job of informing us and educating us. He is an amazing guide and the tour was an amazing day out. Thanks Henry and yes the overriding reason for any war is definitely economic 😀
Especially enjoyed learning about MLK’s and the black neighborhood that existed there through the years.
Henry knows A LOT about History, especially American History. I’m a history buff and I learned many new things from him. He wove in many themes as he connected historical facts through time. He was thoughtful and engaging. We loved the tour! We highly recommend.
