    Great tour of Atlanta and the impact MLK and other ATL heroes had on American history. Paris, our tour guide, was a vibrant, fun, knowledgeable Storyteller who kept the energy high for the duration.. She shared great stories and kept things interesting and had us moving at a good pace. Highly recommend her tours! There was some uphill climbing but nothing too extreme and made beautiful by the gorgeous Atlanta weather. Thanks and we hope to visit again soon!

    Very thorough and informative tour. Arielle was energetic, knowledgeable and proud of her job. This is stupid that you require 100 characters.
