Jeff was our tour “ambassador” on 7/9/22 @ 9:30. He was courteous, engaging, knowledgeable and generally like family. The 9 of us received a good historical perspective & education of Atlanta and an overall great time. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 For Jeff and this tour!

Booked this as it was the number 1 thing we wanted to do Our guide was amazing so knowledgeable Went to all the main places wanted to see Wasn’t bothered about seeing the Tyler Perry studios but the others in the tour seemed to love it I preferred the Martin Luther King house etc

It was a nice way of exploring some neighborhoods of Atlanta not so close to the main attraction areas, but I was expecting it to be more historical. Our guide was more focused on the film industry rather than on the history part.

Hello and thank you for the review we would love for you to call us and provide us more feedback. We’re pretty sure there’s a misunderstanding because this tour is about connecting the dots from past, to the present, and into the future of this city. No doubt there is definitely some film history here which is part of Atlanta culture, but it could never trump the incredible history of black Atlanta leadership, education, entrepreneurship, activism, and the amount of art expression connecting with the past and present. That part alone represents 80% of the tour. It is impossible to conduct a 4 hour tour focuses mainly on films. Love for you to give us a call and get a more in-depth feedback. We’re always trying to improve.
