This tour is a must do in Atlanta. We got to sample delicious food, walk through Oakland Cemetery, and hear how the city of Atlanta came to be. Kennedy was an excellent tour guide with a fun, bubbly and theatric personality. She made sure to include everyone in the tour, even the kids. Highly recommend this tour.

Please have tour guide Keep your own opinions, ideology and comments out of a history tour. History is just that. Removing or altering it does not change it , learning and changing within it what changes history. We can not all grow and learn from it, if you remove it
