Our tour was great. Omar was a wealth of knowledge and had a sense of humor as well. I was worried 4 hours might be too long but it was just about the right amount of time. One of the things I really like was his ability to explain so many of the murals. The art is such an important part of the city. He finished the tour with little bags of goodies for everyone and had snacks on the bus. He thought of everything!

Omar was very knowledgeable and personable. Made the tour very fun and his personality helps, you don't even really realize the tour is about to end until it does and you think "Didn't we just start?" Overall phenomenal experience. if you are doing a tour in ATL this one is the one to take!

Omar was fantastic! He made our trip enjoyable & was so knowledgeable. He made sure to answer all of our questions, took us to spots that we necessarily wouldn’t of seen otherwise, and even took pictures for us. He was the highlight of our ATL experience for sure. Shout out to Omar from the Texas Crew!
