Loved our tour guide Ms. Stephanie!!!! She was very patient with us and knowledgeable!!! She had a gentle approach as we walked through-out the tour grounds. She took pictures for us and when the Park Ranger inside Martin Luther King Jr. birth home missed a few things to tell us, she would was always be ready to fill in the gaps of history for us. GREAT PRICE! GREAT TOUR!!! Would do it again if I return to Atlanta!!! Traveled from Dallas/Ft. Worth Texas
