What a wonderful day and very interesting. Our tour guide was incredible, very warm and personable, very knowledgeable and just a pure joy to spend time with. She deserves 100 thumbs up!!! I've lived here my entire life and found out things I never knew, things like why it's called Sweet Auburn etc....

This was a dream come true and a very moving experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. I don't know which part of the tour I enjoyed the most. However, when we first stopped a the museum next door to the new Ebenezer Baptist Church, it brought back a lot of memories, as I watched history unfold on the TV while growing up as a boy in Ohio. Seeing and going inside the original Ebenezer Baptist Church, across the street from the new one, was a solemn moment I will never forget.

I felt compelled to write a positive review because almost everything written prior to this review has been corrected by the tour company. My family of six stayed close to the airport and we got calls for confirmation prior to landing. They picked us up from the nearest hotel, and on our way we saw many landmarks all while the driver explained the history. We soon arrived at the MLK's childhood home and another tour guide met us there. She walked in with us and gave us more background about the family. Later we walked to the church and she continued to tell us the history of the church and new church. We then walked to the park and in the museum. Finally they took us to a different restaurant since Busy Bees is closed on Saturdays. We had lunch at Mary mac's Tea room (another great fried chicken place), and both tour guides sat with us to eat. We ate a delicious lunch and had great conversations about the kind of food we were eating. The tour guides Shelly and Stephanie gave us background about themselves. Finally they dropped us off. My family couldn't stop talking about the tour and just the wonderful company we had.
