Walk in the footsteps of giants on Atlanta’s most powerful Civil Rights tour and discover the story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Atlanta.

Step into the soul of the Old Fourth Ward—where history was made and a movement was born. On this unforgettable 2.5-hour journey, you’ll follow the path of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Congressman John Lewis, Coretta Scott King, and countless heroes who transformed Atlanta—and the world.

Named by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the 16 Best Things to Do in Atlanta, this immersive experience goes far beyond the typical stops, taking you to places you would never have found on your own. Led by passionate local guides, you’ll uncover the stories behind the landmarks, from iconic Ebenezer Baptist Church to the hidden corners that shaped the Civil Rights Movement.

Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about Atlanta’s legacy, guests say this tour was the best part of their trip—because we bring you deeper. You’ll explore not only the famous sites but the places you would never find on your own, places where everyday people made extraordinary change.

By the end, you won’t just have walked through history—you’ll feel its heartbeat. And you’ll leave with a profound understanding of how this neighborhood sparked a global movement for justice and equality.
