My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour on 3/1/20. Kai was very welcoming and knowledgeable. This was our second time in Atlanta, but we got to see a lot of things that we hadn't seen before (MLK's last home, the historically black colleges, Auburn Street, the Olympic torch). Kai was also able to navigate the street closings for the Olympic marathon trials. I would highly recommend for anyone visting Atlanta.

Kai was our tour guide and she was the ultimate professional. She was a great tour guide that knew the city and black history very well. Can’t wait to experience the city tour during the spring.
