      I would like a refund. The audio was not clear and the directions we’re not given to my satisfaction.

      In the beginning it went well. But after 40mins into it we ended up getting lost and the gps didn’t guide us back on the right track. We had to use our Waze to help us out. But overall it was dope. I just think they should have a actually tour guide person.
      Awesome

      Just being in the place where Dr King lived and where he was laid to rest. This was a great experience one that I’ll cherish for a lifetime.
      Two thumbs up for this walking tour!

      Learning about the civil rights history and the Sweet Auburn area made me feel more connected to Atlanta, where I've lived for 3 months now. The history didn't go overly in depth, I'll want to learn more, but I'm glad to know what made the city - and to have discovered a new nightlife area as well! The walking was easy and a refreshing change from the crowded museums.
