Unforgettable MLK Jr. Legacy: Walk Civil Rights History

This MLK walking tour is something I’ve been wanting to do ever since I moved to Atlanta earlier this year and it didn’t disappoint! Joy was a phenomenal guide. So knowledgeable but also conversational and easygoing and fun. I loved all the personal touches she shared about ML and Coretta and the King family. Seeing his childhood home and birthplace, his final resting place with Coretta, the famous Ebenezer Baptist Church where he and his father preached, his Nobel peace prize, his suitcase and clothing from his final day, it was all overwhelming and very moving. I also loved how Joy played excerpts from MLK’s speeches at key points along the way so we could hear his voice as we saw these meaningful sights. Loved learning about his mentors too, Coretta’s influence, and seeing and feeling how so many things came together in his family and in the nation for him to play the role that he did. A very special tour and we deeply enjoyed it. There were a lot of laughs too. So important that we remember this man and this movement and I am grateful for this tour.

It was the perfect 2.5 hour walking tour to the heart of historic Black Atlanta, which was home to Martin Luther King Jr and the civil rights movement. I had half a day in ATL and so happy I chose this tour. We stopped at key locations and our guide, Jennifer, shared a lot of interesting stories and facts. Thank you, unexpected Atlanta Tours, you Rock!

WOW and WOW: this is a great tour, and the best part is the tour guide Jay. His passion and energy is amazing. We learned a lot, we had fun and we recommend this tour to anyone! young, old, visitor, local! everyone. Thank you! p.s. the company is also very professional, great service and flexibility.

The Martin Luther King Jr walking tour was one of the best I’ve ever been on. Nic was an AMAZING guide and I left the tour at the end of the day feeling very moved by the experience. 10/10, would book with this company again.

I would absolutely recommend that anyone who is interested in the history of Martin Luther King Junior and the Civil Rights Movement attend this tour. Nic was an enthusiastic, caring and informative tour guide who enthralled us with his story telling and enthusiasm for the subject matter. I learned so much from this tour and cannot wait to attend another Unexpected Atlanta tour!

Very informative, easy to stay engaged, sparked a lot of curiosity for me to dig deeper. Thank you!!

I sent 5 of my friends on the tour. ( I had done it 5 times already, but will definitely do it again....). They were effusive in praise of all they learned. Jessica was a great guide, tho she was new! The places, history, generational stories, and interesting details made it very worthwhile. I will be bringing any and all of my guests to Atlanta to this tour.

Very thorough and informative tour. Our guide, Jessica was extremely energetic, entertaining, and engaging.. I highly recommend this Tour.

Jessica gave a fantastic tour and history. She was very knowledgeable and is a great storyteller. Learned a deeper history than we’d known before the tour.

What a fabulous tour! It was both informative and incredibly moving, especially given the current political climate. Arielle, our guide, was wonderful. I highly recommend for anyone traveling to Atlanta.
