The guide was very knowledgeable. However Ebenezer Church was closed and that was disappointing. I think the tour could have been longer (include more sites) at the same cost.

Thank you so much for the review. Unfortunately the Ebenezer Baptist Church closed without any prior warning for repairs. We appreciate our guests taking the time to share their experiences - both positive and negative. In order to provide you with the most enjoyable tour. Thank you again.

Greetings Ms. Patricia, It clearly states in our tour description. Although access to the buildings in the National Historic Park, (the Visitor Center, Ebenezer Baptist Church and Dr. King’s birth home) are closed, we are conducting a walking tour of the area and its legendary history. So until your review says, we do tell people prior to booking. Additionally, we email people the same information once they book, to ensure they understand. It is important that clients clearly read tour descriptions prior to booking. Furthermore our tour guide does an excellent job with sharing the history of the area.
