Where you'll be
We will visit the King Historic District and walk the streets where Martin Luther King Jr. lived, worked, and played. We'll see the exterior of his birth home, the exterior of his church, his office building, and many more important locations to the civil rights movement. This is a neighborhood that changed the world and our guests walk away surprised by how much there is to see in just 1.5 miles.
Rated 4.95 out of 5 from 58 reviews.
We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour in Atlanta. I was evaluating several different tours and decided on this one based on reviews and the fact that it was a walking tour. I’m glad we chose this one. Jennifer had an earnest and intelligent way of narrating the journey. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute. Jennifer gave plenty of opportunities to stop and get a drink or go to the restroom. There were several spots that were so interesting that we want to go back and explore on our own. And that is the kind of tour that I love. One that leaves you curious and wanting to know a little bit more.

This tour, in my opinion, is the best attraction in Atlanta. It explains and personalizes the whole civil rights movement, and it helps you understand how Martin Luther King Jr. became who he was. For me, it brought home things I heard about back in social studies class; things that really are true but that need to be fleshed out in ones mind.
