Henry, our driver and tour guide was a wealth of knowledge about the history of Atlanta and the Dr. King Center. He made the difference as he made the event memorable. We both were amazed at the history that we did not know that he shared. I would recommend this tour and Henry to my family, friends and colleagues. Job well done Henry.

Henry was the best. Very educated and you could tell he loves what he does. There’s so much black history in Atlanta. If your looking for a excellent tour this is it. Well worth the money and eye opening. You won’t find some of this in our school history books. I wish this tour was in every state. Thanks again Henry.

This tour was the best part of my trip to Atlanta! My guide was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and entertaining. I learned so many interesting facts about the city in such a short time! He was able to answer any questions I had and since the tour was private due to covid, when we stopped, he took photos for me. He's a really good photographer too! Thanks again for an amazing tour :)
