Niall_T, Apr 2025

Zoe was an excellent guide. She imbued her narration of MLK Jr’s experience with humanity and passion. We learned a lot about the civil rights movement and the connection between the many men and women that led it, including Dr. King. If you’re interested in his legacy, civil rights, and history, this is a tour definitely worth taking. It is a bit of a walk so those who are sensitive to Georgia heat or being on their feet should consider their fitness and mobility.

Good deal

Great walk, but get out of Dodge after

Kevin J, Apr 2025

Leigh was excellent and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the walk which just flew by. The only downside is the big city problems that remain in Atlanta. Once the walk is through do not walk outside the park - leave and be safe. I didn’t get hurt but walking alone or even in a small group is my recommended.
