Thank you so much, Pooven! We are so glad you enjoyed your tour with us. We look forward to you visiting the U.S. again and coming back to Atlanta to take one of our other tour experiences.
My Tour Guide was the lovely and charming Ms Carla Morrison. I thoroughly enjoyed my 3hr trip! Oh the places we did go! The numerous sights, scenes and stops were eye opening and extensively narrated by the extremely informative Ms Carla, who definitely knew her stuff! I had a blast! I heartily and highly recommend this particular company and the particular guide. You won’t be disappointed. I promise. 👏🏽
Carla was well informed and knowledgeable. She was extremely helpful and accommodating
My grandchildren and I enjoyed this small-group tour. Carla was attentive and extremely engaging. She was knowledgeable and provided sufficient time for each location so we didn't feel rushed.
Rich history of Atlanta and the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. Our tour guide was excellent. Highly recommend
Carla is an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. Because the group was limited to us, Carla tailored the tour to our interests. She gave us history of buildings, people, and neighborhoods. The Sweet Auburn neighborhood was well done. Murals, MLK's home and FIFI readiness all extras that we enjoyed. Areas were highlighted that we were able to return the following day to view at our convenience. The tour included Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech playing in the background. It was a great added feature but i feel listening to his speech or part of it, without talking over it would have added to the tour. I would also suggest that a list or brief biography be given as a handout to have on the tour. The Black History and Civil Rights Tour was wonderfully presented. I would highly recommend this tour.
The Black History and Civil Rights Tour was my second tour, on the same day, with Carla Morrison of Chit Chat Atlanta Tours. Her thorough knowledge of Black history, passion for sharing and delivering the same, and enthusiastic personality nearly brings your experience to life. When my family arrived a few days later, I had already scheduled their tour, and even joined them... smile
This was such an amazing tour, and I would recommend everyone to go! Clara was fantastic, and knows so much about the area and the history. Thanks so much for such a wonderful afternoon Clara!
Carla was an excellent tour guide. She told us so many stories and answered our questions. I see Atlanta in a renewed light because of her! I highly recommend a tour with Carla for both her knowledge and hospitality! Thank you for adding depth to our day!
This personal tour was very informative and a lot of fun. The guide was knowledgeable and went out of her way to provide a great experience for me, in addition to learning a lot of new and interesting facts. I would highly recommend this tour for an in depth look at Black History and the fight for civil rights.
Thank you, Kathy! Glad you had fun. I enjoyed our time together.
