Thank you for responding to reviews. Unfortunately, this is not an accurate account of our tour. Yes, you can do a self guided tour of the park for free. We offer a guided tour of the Park, with a local historian, who dives deep into the history of the Park and Auburn Ave, and the Civil rights moment. To call what we do is a scam is very offensive. We make it clear we have no association with the National Park. Many other tour companies offer this service to tourists, who want to learn more about a local destination other than "just look around!" If it didn't live up to your expectations, I understand, but to call our company a scam is slander.
