This tour was literally booked less than 24 hours ahead of time, and was one of the best spur of the moment decision I've made. With the numerous tours available in Atlanta and the limited time we had in Atlanta, we wanted to make the best of our time, and this tour fit the bill. It was very informative, and the wealth of knowledge of our Tour Guide E.B., coupled with his sense of humor made it so much fun!! Our only regret was that we weren't able to explore more at MLK Jr. Historical Site, due to the Government shutdown. But that had no reflection on him. We had no idea that Atlanta had so much influence on the movie industry. The group was small, but fun and engaged with our guide. My husband is still talking about the Carribean Food, he had for lunch at the Municipal Market. And that 100% Shae Butter that we purchased from the Afro Centric Network Boutique is already starting to work!! This is definitely a worthwhile tour, and worth every penny!!

Omar was great and knowledgeable about the city and very personable. It was just 3 of us that took the tour but he took his time, explained everything in detail and was an amazing tour guide. I learned a lot about Atlanta black history, culture and vibrancy. It’s definitely a must see for black excellence.

Ebby was great. He is really funny and knows so many facts about the city. He welcomes questions and has a very outgoing personality. He’s a very safe driver, too.

This tour was honestly one of the highlights of my solo trip to Atlanta. I’ve been to the city twice before, but this was the first time I truly got to understand its culture and the deeper story behind the Civil Rights Movement and Black history. There were only two of us on the tour, but our guide, Eb, made it such a fun and personal experience. He was warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. It felt like spending the day with someone who genuinely loves what he does. He even introduced us to local entrepreneurs along Sweet Auburn Avenue, and we got to meet people, try great food, and learn about the community in such an authentic way. We were supposed to finish around 1:30 PM, but Eb took us to a few more places and we ended up wrapping up at 2:30. He really went the extra mile to make sure we saw everything. Coming from the Philippines, I didn’t grow up learning much about Black history, so this tour gave me a completely new perspective. It was eye-opening, inspiring, and very moving. If you’re visiting Atlanta, I’d say this is a must-do. I’d 100% do it again, and I can’t recommend Eb enough!
