This is a scam!!! Upon my arrival to the tour I stopped in the visitors center and inquired about this tour. I was told my the Ranger this company has zero access to the MLK home and the description of the tour is misleading. I have reached out to the company and still waiting for my refund. don’t BUY from this company go directly to the Viator center and get free tickets to the museum, house and grounds.
