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

Alison_S

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!

I had a really nice afternoon doing the tour with Melinda. It was informative, easygoing, interesting and flexible. I’d try another tour with them next time.

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 a great guide who had a wealth of information about each of the areas we visited. It was an enjoyable afternoon.

Ron_W

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.
