Zoe provided an inspirational tour. I’m totally moved—and moved to revisit my studies of the civil rights era and MLK.

Zoe is one of the most engaging historic tour guides I’ve ever met. She does an amazing job of crafting the context with the history to really help you understand why the story remains so relevant today.

This was a fantastic tour with an amazing guide. Zoe was full of knowledge. She was very accommodating when we mistook the start time for 30 minutes later than was posted. She was friendly, professional, and enthusiastic. We learned so much on this tour. As a new transplant to Atlanta, I could not have asked for a better way to acquaint myself with the city’s rich history.

The tour guide Jessica H. did a terrific job on not just MLK Jr,'s live but also other important people, as well as the city of Atlanta GA, in the historic context. The content of this tour covers lessons relevant to today's US civil rights status.

This is a great tour to learn about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. From his grandparents, to his parents and neighbors we learned all about his life. The tour was filled with facts and photo opportunities. Our guide was a wealth of information and made the experience very enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour.

Very helpful guide - who was very informative and explained the tour very eloquently Very thoughtful tour

My 80-year-old mother and I had a wonderful walk today with Kristin. We learned so much about Sweet Auburn and those that influenced young MLK, Jr. It's a pleasant walk and a nice break comes midway with cold water and air-conditioning. Kristin is a positive, knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. I highly recommend this tour as an introduction the civil rights movement in Atlanta!

Kriisten was very knowledgeable, created a very friendly, welcoming spacez Addressed all our questions & provided us with so much information about Atlanta’s history. A thoroughly enjoyable experience

This was a highly informative tour and our guide Jay was awesome! We learned so much during the 2-hour tour about Dr. King’s life and more broadly the history of Sweet Auburn. Highly recommend!

Kirstin was our tour guide, and its was a great time and fun. Kirstin is very knowledgeable and I learned alot during the tour. It is alot of walking so wear some good sneakers. I like the coffee shop she recommended as well.

Zoe our tour advisor was great! Very knowledgeable, engaging & had a great sense of humor. We actually learned some things that we didn’t know about Martin Luther King and his family. We didn’t have enough time this trip to do the tour of his childhood Home, but will come back and will definitely do the tour again and recommend it to Family family and friends as well.

I really enjoyed the tour. So was very knowledgeable and made the experience great!

In town for the weekend for the MACC One Love Century Anniversary. Decided to get off the bike for a day to do a history tour. Best decision. Our tour guide was ZOE. She educated us and kept us entertained. I plan to return with our twins. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks ZOE.

Kristin was great! Super engaging and could answer all of our questions. Super hot out but made the walk worth it. The loop hits all the important spots.

Kristin walked my family through the history of Atlanta neighborhoods with thoughtfulness and creativity. A lovely tour and incredibly personal. Truly a journey that touched my heart.

Kristin was a fantastic tour guide! Made sure to be super accommodating with the heat and made it a great time!

Zoe was amazing!!! So educated and entertaining! 5 stars⭐️

I definitely recommend this tour as it provides the insightful history of MLK and his family . Paris was very knowledgeable and passionate sharing MLK’s historical story!

Our terrific guides Zoe and Jay introduced us to an Atlanta that few know. We learned about the wealth and history of Auburn Ave. We heard about the family history of Dr. King, and personal anecdotes about the mischievous little boy who became a great leader. We stopped at the Madame C. J. Walker museum, Freedom Park, Daddy King’s church, Ebenezer Baptist Church and the King Center. Thank you for a memorable civil rights tour! And a history lesson not found in textbooks. PS: I can’t wait to return to Atlanta, and take Zoe’s food tour and learn how to make delectable, buttery Southern biscuits!

We thoroughly enjoyed MLK walking tour. Our guide Zoe was very knowledgeable! We learned a lot not just about MLK Jr but also the about the history of Atlanta and the overall civil rights movement. Highly recommend!!!

Zoe and Jay from Unexpected Tours led a fantastic tour of the historic areas including the birthplace of Dr. King Jr, the offices of SCLC, a salon once owned by Madam C.J. Walker and more. Our tour wrapped up with lunch at Mary Mac's restaurant. The tour was informative and inspiring. Jay's infectious energy was matched by Zoe's warmth and patience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested is getting a glimpse of the vast, rich and deep history of the area. Unexpected Tours is great.

It was an amazing experience! The guides were knowledgeable and accommodating. Seeing key landmarks like the Madame CJ Walker Museum and the King Center made it a memorable experience. The final stop for lunch at Atlantas's oldest Black-woman-owned restaurant was truly a treat. My suggestion is to spend more time at the King Center and add a visit inside Ebenezer Church. It was well-paced. The setting was lively and fun. The energy of the group made things fun.

Best tour ever with the best guides Jay and Zoey. Most profound, inspirational and emotional experience. Tour takes you back in time with all the greats — MLK, John Lewis and Madame CJ Walker.I’ve been on many tours around the country; this one was the best followed by a five-star all-you-can- eat scrumptious soul food meal!

What an amazing tour and amazing tour company. Shout out to our tour guides Jay and Zo, and owner Akila. Our trip to Mary Mac Tea Room was life! It was good spending time with all of you there!

Jay and his female colleague were so great! So knowledgeable.

Jay and Zoe was amazing friendly and knowledgeable guides. I learned so much history in such a short time.

Awesome experience! Jay was a great guide!
