What a fantastic, informative tour! Dan was incredibly warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and easy going. He provided good insights into the places we visited, and kept a running commentary during the driving portions. My nephew and I had an amazing time and learned so much!

Chris did a great job driving and teaching. He’s great at his craft. He knows a lot about the Civil War, especially how it relates to Atlanta. If you like Marvel or movies in general, this tour will give a bonus.

Our tour guide Chris was excellent. We both love history so he adjusted our experience to detailed (in-person) context so we were able to connect our knowledge to important historical site. Last year we did Williamsburg (we wanted to see where America began). This year we wanted to experience our historical tour during Black History Month. The Civil Rights movement was a paradigm shift for America and we found that Chris “conversationally” provided us a very informative (and rich in context) tour.
