The core historical part of Atlanta offers a great insight to Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement.
Explore his birthplace, church, and where he is buried next to his wife, Coretta Scott King.
On this tour, we talk about Atlanta's unique history: the Civil War, Coca-Cola, The Civil Rights Movement, etc. Also, we talk about Atlanta today: the world's busiest airport (Hartsfield-Jackson), The Olympics, and Jackson Street Bridge (if you have seen The Walking Dead this is for you).

Sadly the tour leader didn’t show up or contact us at all to tell us it was cancelled. Disappointing.

We were a small group but the atmosphere was so enjoyable. It is noticed the experience of Phil as a guide, besides he explains things in a interesting and understandable way. Hope to coincide again!

Had a great time on the Atlanta history civil rights tour with Phil today. He presented a very relaxed, informative and interesting tour. He was happy to receive questions and gave lots of facts in a way that made the tour fun. Phil talked to us,not at us and I walked away with the knowledge I hoped to receive in the tour, had an enjoyable time and I now have a greater appreciation of Atlanta and the civil rights movement. Fabulous guide. Thanks Phil
