A Phenomenal Experience

The tour became an experience for my wife and I. Joy brought the history of Dr Martin Luther King Jr./ Atlanta’ rich legacy which continues to life for our group to experience. The details were eye openers for us. We’re so glad that we took the time in our vacation to visit MLK Jr. HWT. We left so full. Blessings until next time.
Thanks, Anthony and Kelly

Great MLK Walking Experience

Great Walking Experience with Joy. Joy is very friendly and knowledgeable about MLK, his growing years, his influencers, whose Sunday sermons he stole away to listen to, much to the chagrin of his father and Baptist pastor. Joy plays topical audio clips and has a great story to tell you!

Fantastic way to bring history to life. Walking the neighborhood, hearing not just about MLK but also the community that shaped him was really powerful - and our guide, Emily, was a fantastic story teller. Myself, my husband, and 2 kids (12 & 11) thoroughly enjoyed it. The bar is now set very high for all future tours!
Excellent tour!

An experience not to be missed if in Atlanta!

This walking tour was everything and more that I had expected it to be. Emily is not just another walking tour guide, she is a very gifted storyteller who not only takes us through the streets and neighborhood on foot but also somehow manages to play history in front of our eyes through her way of storytelling. Not only did all of us learnt something new but felt lumps in our throat and goosebumps during her narration along with some very happy moments. The walking tour led by Emily would also go down as one of my best experiences in Atlanta. More power to Emily and people like her.
Great Tour!

Our tour guide was knowledgeable, fun and interactive. This made the experience pleasurable in spite of the cold weather. I had an amazing time and learned so much. I wish that we were still there to actually go inside of MLK,s birth home and church, but even without it, the experience was great!

We were excited to take this tour, and were not disappointed. Our guide, Leigh, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, funny, and engaging! We learned so much. The pace was easy, and the break was perfectly timed. It was a bit chilly the morning we went so a quick potty break and a hot chocolate were exactly what we needed.
At the end of the tour, we had a lot more knowledge, big things to think about, and we will definitely be doing more research and learning about the life of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and those at the forefront of the Civil Rights movement.
Thank you for a great experience! Everyone should experience this tour.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
