Best tour ever

Excellent tour! Mr. Williams was a wealth of knowledge. This was the best tour that we have ever had. It is well worth the money. Mr. Williams was able to accommodate my mother and teenage daughter. He answered all of our questions throughout the tour. If you can do only one thing while in Montgomery, I would recommend that you choose this tour.

Treat Yourself to a Tour with Jake!

Jake is a reservoir of information! As a native Alabamian, he gives a personal touch to the rich history he tells of Alabama, Montgomery, and Selma. Jake provided comfortable transportation in a large van as we toured the Civil Rights sites and learned more about important events. that took place here. Jake is an exceptional host!

We really enjoyed our tour of Montgomery and Selma with Jake. It added so much to our experience to hear about the region and history from someone who grew up here and had participated in a seminal event in the Civil Rights movement. Highly recommend this tour.
