I would have to say, I had the best experience during my tour. During that time period I could only imagine want life was like for the people involved in the civil rights movement. But to be on the grounds in which it happened and to hear the struggles they went through. It brings tears to my eyes. I have imagined myself there during that time period. I'm not sure how I would have handled it.. Our tour guide Clay was a true Professional. Not only did he do a great job, he took us to places that I always wanted to visit. The tour really put thing in Perspective as to location and to how segregation was so criminal.. I really recommend that if you get a chance to go you would have a great experience.. Thanks again Clay..

Both my mother and I were impressed with the sheer amount of information Clay had to share. I love history and there were items he talked about I hadn't learned prior. His dedication to sharing the history of his city without sugar coating was appreciated. The only item was I originally was at a hotel outside of pick up locations, but when I switched hotels and reached out a month or so in advance I didn't hear back. Parking was free on the Sunday and it ended up working out keeping my car there to hit other activities, but I would have preferred to at least had the pickup as an option as the hotel I switched to was on the list advertised. It wasn't enough of a complaint to drop below 5 stars though. The tour was worth the money.

My wife and I was blown away at the knowledge of Mr. Clay. Learned lots of detailed information that was bitter/ sweet but God knows the hearts of men and women. During the tour ,I noticed Mr. Clay weeping from time to time. I know in Clay's heart he really believe that "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUALLY". We enjoyed the entire tour and will recommend to my pastor and church. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers July 2019
