The tour was very informative, interesting, and insightful. I appreciated visiting local black-owned businesses (I will definitely return to Afro Centric Network!), leaning more about the HBCUs and how impactful Atlanta has been not only to the Civil Rights Movement but also to black culture!

This was the best tour I’ve ever been on in my life. Ibrahim and Dave are great guys. Ibrahim is a history expert that entertained and educated us on not only formal and popular history of the city of Atlanta, but also gave us local stories and personal experiences that made me feel like I understood the city of Atlanta way more than I ever expected to. Upon getting home I’ve already recommended this tour to my friends who are coming to ATL. This is exactly how a tour should be and I have zero complaints.

It was a great tour of the city from a local. It is evident he is passionate about the city of Atlanta and loves sharing his knowledge. We learned so much about the city. Wished we would have taken this tour on our first day.

This Black History & Civil Rights tour was an incredible experience 🙌🏾📚. It was my first time visiting Atlanta, and the tour felt very personal and VIP — it was just me and my friend, which made it even more special ✨👯♀️. Our guide, Jeff, was phenomenal 👏🏾. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared the history with so much care and respect ❤️. The way he brought the stories to life made the experience both educational and deeply moving. This tour gave powerful context to the Civil Rights Movement and honored the history in a way that truly stayed with me ✊🏾🖤. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Atlanta — it’s absolutely worth it! Thank you Jeff for being a part of our Atlanta experience.

The advertised time was mixed up but Ebby made up for it with his humour and enthusiasm. It's hard to get around Atlanta by yourself if you don't know what you're looking for, so definitely book a tour like this as an introduction to ATL history, and you can always go back to the spots you wanted to spend more time at.
