Our guide Henry was great. He was knowledgable, personable, and a great driver. I would do another Atlanta tour with him if we had more time.

Henry was a great tour guide. Knew so much and answered all my questions. The 5 hours flew by. Highly recommend

I can not believe that I have received a request to provide a review. I booked a private tour based on a recommendation. The tour guide did not show up nor call. Customer service was not helpful when I called to request the status of the tour guide. I’m also still waiting on my refund. This was a terrible experience!!!

A wonderful experience and a exactly what I needed to know about Atlanta. A wealth of history packed into a brief time but made me want to learn more.

I had a fantastic tour with Mr. Henry! I had so many questions that our 1 hour tour lasted for about 3-4 hours. The information he provided was priceless. Black History is a touchie subject for some, so if you are not ready for the truth, don't ask the question. I asked Mr. Henry why doesn't he teach a class. I will let him answer that question on your tour. Thanks Mr. Henry for taking the time to answer all of my many questions. Paul
