Jake Williams is a very smart, experienced tour guide for those interested in Civil Rights history in the Montgomery area. He is knowledgeable and generous with his time.

We went on the. 6 hour private tour of Montgomery and Selma with Jake Williams. It was outstanding! Jake is a gentleman and a professional. He also was a participant in the March between Selma and Montgomery. His first hand knowledge of the events helped make this a very special experience. Anyone who is considering visiting this area should take his tour. You will leave feeling that you have gained tremendous insight into the events that unfolded here. Highly, highly recommended.

We are a group of four academics who spent two days with Jake. Not only were we immersed in the civil rights movement in Montgomery but we also incorporated a drive to Selma and a walk over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. We learned so much from a very knowledgeable man who in 1965 participated as a 12 year old in the Selma to Montgomery protest marches. We started off with a tour through Montgomery which set the stage for everything we learned along the way. You can't find a better or more passionate guide than Jake.

Fantastic private day tour with Jake Williams. Jake grew up in the area and actually participated in one day of the Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights march. He was fantastic tour guide and took us to the many places of Civil Rights interest in Montgomery, which there are many. I highly recommend spending the whole day with Jake.

Jake, the tour guide was absolutely spectacular. He picked us up from our bed and breakfast in his super nice van. He was dressed professional and had such a way about him. You can tell he has experienced so much in his lifetime and it really makes him a stellar tour guide. He’s so genuine and has so much knowledge to share. We got to see a lot of Montgomery that we would not have seen otherwise. The history and stories are heartbreaking but powerful. I can’t recommend this your enough.

I took my sister on a whirlwind tour of important sites in the Civil Rights Movement for her birthday. I’m so glad I came across a listing for Jake Williams’ tour! Mr Williams is an amazing historian and advocate for Montgomery, Alabama. He not only shared his own personal experience during the March to Selma but he showed us all of the sites in Montgomery and taught us the history that took place in each location. We retraced the route from Selma to Montgomery and traveled through his home County of Lowndes County as well. This was a once in a lifetime experience that I am so grateful for. I left wanting to return to Montgomery as soon as possible and have been encouraging everyone to go there and take his tour. Trust me, book this tour.

Jake was funny, informative. He was attentive to our group's needs. He did an amazing job explaining the history. We highly recommend Montgomery Tours.

What a great way to see Montgomery, Alabama! Mr. Williams is a knowledgeable, articulate tour guide. He took us all over Montgomery for our Civil Rights tour, and included side visits of Hank Williams grave, and the F. Scott Fitzgerald House. He started with a brief overview of Alabama history, supplied water, a comfortable van, and an informative narration for our 3 hour experience. I highly recommend his services.
