Martin Luther King Jr. History Walking Tour

To know the critical part that Atlanta paid in the Civil Rights Movement. To learn the history and the family background of all these leaders. To "walk in their shoes" and see the neighborhood they lived in. Emily was very knowledgeable and made the history come to live. She answered all our questions.

Margaret’s love of Atlanta’s evolvement showed through her fact-packed narrative. I learned how ML King’s heritage and social environment nourished his commitment to justice.

The stories were inspiring and insightful. I left with a desire to leave a legacy behind, to be a better leader and to do more for others. The guide was friendly and engaging. Made sure people were safe and enjoying themselves. Also made efforts to start personal conversation with each participant and I was impressed how she remembered everyone’s name.

Had great time on the walking tour!? Guide, Amy, was friendly and knowledgeable! A wonderful experience and it was filled with new information!!

Worth taking this tour if you are in Atlanta. Margaret our tour guide was excellent. Lots of information and she shows her joy for living in Atlanta.

This is an excellent tour!!! Margaret was our tour guide, and not only was she very helpful and knowledgeable, but she was also very personable. This tour isn't just about seeing many places, it's about understanding the meaning and the stories of a movement, of men, women, and children who helped make this nation a better place for all of us to live today. Margaret does a great job of connecting all the stories, the events, the actors, and the artifacts in a coherent whole. Truly an excellent tour!!!!

Great guide - Emily - Great knowledge and great sites. If you are in town, make sure you plan this for one of your days

Margaret was very informative in explaining in detail the history of Atlanta and the history of MLK. She took her time to explain the importance of several historical landmarks as well.

Very informative tour. The tour guide's passion throughout the tour was indeed remarkable. Since it was a walking tour, we were able to explore the sites more than we would've if we were just driving. Moreover, I really liked the fact the tour was a smaller group because it made it easier to keep up with the group. Anyone can see these historical sites on their own, but having a tour guide like Akila makes the tour worthwhile. Akila was clearly knowledgeable about the sites, but it was her passion that enhanced our tour experience!
