If I could give more stars I would. This was a phenomenal tour and Mr. Jake Williams is a consummate professional, a brilliant historian and thoughtful tour guide.i traveled with my teenage son who is often slow to give compliments and when we got back he said, ‘that was a very good tour’ We loved the side bar conversations about culture and context and the experiential approach. He also has a great van and excellent food recommendations!!. I’ve already recommended this tour to everyone I know who’s considering coming. THANK YOU!!

As others have written, it is impossible to overstate how terrific this tour is under the guidance of Jake. I've been a life-long student of human rights, but still learned so much today. The experience of seeing the actual sites is overwhelming. And Jake provides so much history and context while telling a very human story. Not only is he an excellent historian, he is thoughtful, kind, and has a good sense of humour. It was a privilege to spend time with him. Do not leave Montgomery without taking this tour.

Jake, our tour guide, knew the history of the Selma to Montgomery Civil Rights marches! His personal experiences and insights added extra insight to our tour. It was a fantastic look at a pivotal time in U.S. history. A must-do tour for anyone interested in civil rights.
