    A Memorable Exploration of Atlanta's Black History

    Naomi_C, Feb 2026
    The entire experience was incredibly enlightening. It was a pleasure to witness in person sights I had only seen on television. Our driver, Henry, showcased extensive knowledge of Atlanta's Black history, making it feel as though we had stepped back in time. By the end of the tour, my husband and I had gained insights that were entirely new to us. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

    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 :)

    Henry was great! He was very nice and knowledgeable of the topic. I took my 14yr old daughter on the trip and I couldn’t be happier with his kindness and how he engaged her in conversation. Thank Henry!

    Knowledgeable

    Sandra_H, Nov 2019
    We loved that we were able to jump out and take pictures. This is the main reason why we chose this tour. Henry was so knowledgeable and friendly! Book with This tour company— (black owned). Coincide your tour with a visit of the house MLK was born in. It has to be booked with the Sherriffe’s office. They need a day before you want to go and it’s FREE!

    Henry is a excellent tour guider. He is very entertaining. His knowledge of Atlanta and information about Civil rights was so on point. Henry was so good I could not wait until I got back to the hotel to Google some of the information. I goggle it while still on the tour. We booked two tours with this company and Henry did a great job both times. I will use this company again and will refer others to do the same. Thanks again Henry.

    A day through the soul of Atlanta

    Bryan_C, Sep 2019
    My time with my father in Atlanta was truly enlightened by the Atlanta African American Culture Tour, hosted by Henry. We learned so much about the city, it’s rich history, and the people and times of African American decent in the heart of Atlanta. I will recommend this tour to friends and family visiting ATL. I suggest that if you are considering taking the tour, don’t question it! It will be worth your time.
