I specialize in telling the unique historical stories of Atlanta while focusing on the unique character of Atlanta's fascinating neighborhoods. I find that most people enjoy hearing the intriguing stories about Atlanta's people, especially the ones that made it what it is today. Visitors will like hearing the authentic facts that tie together the threads of Atlanta's past while weaving the quilt of it's future. Visitors want to see Atlanta from a local's point of view. They will see in a short time, what they couldn't possibly experience traveling on their own. You will learn more about those little known neighborhoods that you can't see from the highways or main streets. Visitors will experience and eat at local unique restaurants that few locals even know about. For any visitor considering relocation to Atlanta, you will want to find out more about what unique amenities the city has to offer, like our restaurants, specialty food markets, shopping, schools, parks and recreation. You will be excited about the new Live, Work, Play and Shop concept neighborhoods that are being developed all over Metro Atlanta. I will help you connect the historical dots and give you the best customer service that you will ever experience on a city tour. I can offer you an insider's perspective of Atlanta, while you enjoy riding in the comfort of our limo-like (5) passenger minivan.

The Civil Rights Tour will tell the stories of Georgia's beginnings as the last of the original thirteen colonies on and up to Georgia's roles in the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Jim Crow Era and the Modern Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Tour offers an on-site view of the rich heritage rooted in Atlanta's African American community over the past century. Atlanta's African American community has been an integral part of the city of Atlanta since before the Civil War. Segregated by Jim Crow laws, Atlanta's black population developed a network of independent businesses, churches, and community institutions, including a remarkable cluster of five black colleges around Atlanta University. Auburn Avenue was considered the nucleus of Atlanta's Black business community. This was the first tour that I developed in 1991, and it's still our most popular tour. This tour continues to evolve as more information becomes available.
