My husband and I would like to give a big shout-out to Mr. Omar! It was never a time that my husband and I did not enjoy this tour. We could tell that Omar really enjoys what he does! Our schools need people like Mr. Omar! Also, shout-out to Ms. Lucille for being a safe driver! Love your mask!!!

Our tour guide had good information and I enjoyed most stops.(Tyler Perry studios obviously did not appreciate our presence and the guard was extremely rude. Also what really ruined the experience was the tour guide stealing my mother's money. She dropped a ten dollar bill on bus and he was helping her look for it. When leaving the bus he reached in his pocket for something and moms $10 fell out of his pocket. Mom said there's money. He responded "I'm glad you found it. He is a thief and I will not take another tour with this company.

Hi Kelli, Thank you for taking time to write a review for us. We're sorry that your tour with us was unpleasant. Our number one priority is customer service and the safety of our patrons. You indicated that the driver stole $10 from your mom during the tour. We can assure you that we take this allegation very seriously and feel that there was a misunderstanding and a breakdown in communication. Our driver is not a thief and is saddened he couldn't provide a better encounter for you. Again, we apologize for your experience and thank you for your feedback.
