Jake was very personable, knowable and a pleasure to listen to. My friends and I learned a lot of new information about the history in the Montgomery area that we had no clue about! Jake had some extra time, he took us to a local restaurant that he recommended and the food was fantastic! Thank you Jake for a wonderful and informative morning i Montgomery! Susan, Renee and Robin

Jake was wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and soft-spoken. He even experienced some of the historical events that he talked about. It’s a “must do” when in Montgomery.

Jake was amazing!!! His personal touches were memorable for my family and I. He brought all of the things that were taught in school to life for us on this tour. He is a wealth of native knowledge to Montgomery for sure!

Jake was our guide and it was just my wife and I. He took the time to give us a lot of background information before the tour started and made a point of asking regularly if we had questions. After the tour he took us to an awesome place for lunch and ice cream since he didn’t have an afternoon tour! We would definitely recommend him! Thank you Jake !

Jake Williams makes this tour so personal and meaningful that the experience is more than a tour—it’s a learning that is both deep and broad in its civil rights significance and poignancy. This is the best way to begin a visit to Montgomery.

We learned so much about our U.S.A. history and history of the Civil Rights movement from Jake. He is so knowledgeable and personable. I hope that everyone from pre-teen years through adulthood takes this tour; it will help to make the world a better place.

I was born in 1945 in Baltimore Md and I wanted to see in real life what I observed on TV and newspapers. Also I wanted my 5 kids to talk with someone on the front line
