Jake Williams, owner of Montgomery Tours, LLC, provided our group of nine with a thorough and enlightening historical tour of Montgomery, Selma, and the 1965 freedom marches from Selma to Montgomery. His knowledge of Alabama’s history as well as that of Montgomery and its historical figures was detailed and accurate. The six-hour guided tour was extensive and expanded by Mr. Williams’s personal accounts of his immediate family and ancestors who have lived in this area for nearly two centuries. The tour bus was comfortable, the sound system adequate, and the itinerary well planned. Mr. Williams is an impeccable and gracious host who compiles the historical facts of Montgomery and Alabama to create the historical truth about its racial inequality.

Highly recommended!! Mr. Williams really made Alabama come alive for our group--the Civil Rights history for sure, and so much more besides. We learned a lot about what happened before and since the 1960s--the Civil Rights movement did not happen in a vacuum or end in 1965. It was very moving to visit the well-known sites and to understand a little more about their history. We left inspired to learn more and to continue the work to create justice and equity today.

Jake Williams' tour of Montgomery & Selma Civil Rights sites was a revelation! He has a wealth of knowledge, having grown up there & marched with his older sister on that history changing day. He welcomed questions, & was very patient in answering. We got to stop at Jake's favorite one-of-a-kind Mom & Pop cafeteria for lunch. My group of 9 Hoosier Unitarians have continued to meet for study & discussion back home. So glad Jake was available to give us the real story.
