Fantastic way to bring history to life. Walking the neighborhood, hearing not just about MLK but also the community that shaped him was really powerful - and our guide, Emily, was a fantastic story teller. Myself, my husband, and 2 kids (12 & 11) thoroughly enjoyed it. The bar is now set very high for all future tours!

An experience not to be missed if in Atlanta!

This walking tour was everything and more that I had expected it to be. Emily is not just another walking tour guide, she is a very gifted storyteller who not only takes us through the streets and neighborhood on foot but also somehow manages to play history in front of our eyes through her way of storytelling. Not only did all of us learnt something new but felt lumps in our throat and goosebumps during her narration along with some very happy moments. The walking tour led by Emily would also go down as one of my best experiences in Atlanta. More power to Emily and people like her.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable, fun and interactive. This made the experience pleasurable in spite of the cold weather. I had an amazing time and learned so much. I wish that we were still there to actually go inside of MLK,s birth home and church, but even without it, the experience was great!

Excellent tour with very good narrative on the Civil rights Era in Atanta. Always refreshing to here the true stories versus something made up on the internet. Having grown up in the 60's it brought it all back to life.
