The tour was excellent. The tour started with an overview of the history relative to Montgomery. As we were driving through out the city our tour guide (Mr. William) shared information regarding the buildings and various neighborhoods. Additionally, he took time to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour.

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 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.
