Every part of the tour has been excellent & interesting. Being able to walk to where historic events & people had been was truly unforgettable. Though the weather was nonstop rainy it didn't stop us from seeing these places.

What a wealth of information Omar has, He is amazing!!!! I had no idea what I was missing regarding the knowledge of black history until I took the tour. He will reveal things to you that you never hear about in the history books; he is a walking encyclopedia with black history as well as the city of Atlanta Also the tour of the rich and famous and the Hollywood houses wow!!!. These are tours you want to take!!! Ask for Omar!!
