A friend & I, traveling in Birmingham, decided to "risk it" on the strong reviews for this 3-hour tour - & now we're adding our "Amen"! Clay, of Red Clay Tours, gives a riveting tour of Black/White Birmingham and surrounds. He told us that he prepared his knowledge base by reading 8 hours a day every day for 6 months. Using fact laid on fact, & story laid on story, he built our understanding of the history, climate and events leading towards and through the desegregation & Voter's Rights movements of the city. The stories of Rev. Shuttlesworth, of the Children's March, of Dynamite Hill, of 16th Street Baptist and of Eleanor Roosevelt's visit left us deep in thought and grateful for what he had given us. If this topic interests you, Clay's tour is a "must". The next morning we visited the Birmingham CR Museum & 16th St. Baptist. We left B'ham frankly astonished at how inadequate our personal educations had been.

I took this tour with my mother mid February 2019. It was amazing. Our guide was incredabily well informed and passionate about the subject. We were brought to sites in the town that have no touirst signs etc. and we would never have spotted were it not for our informed guide. I would seriously recommend anyone going to Birmingham to do this tour. Very informative, very interesting and very passionate. I spent three weeks between Georgia, Alabama and Louisianna and this was that absolute highlight of my trip!

In addition to showing us the actual locations where events took place, Clay was able to explain the culture and provide valuable insight to the civil rights movement in Alabama. Worth every minute.
