Highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. You learn so much about the civil rights movement and for someone not from the USA it gives the factual background to what goes on in the US today.

Mike was an excellent and very informative tour guide. I would highly recommend this over 2 hour tour even for those who are well informed about this sad chapter in our history.
