What can we expect to see on this tour?
Prepare to be inspired and encouraged on the King Historic District Tour, which is meticulously researched by company founder and historian Akila McConnell. On the two-and-a-half-hour walking tour—at about miles, the pace is leisurely—you’ll get an up-close look at some of the city’s most important civil rights locations and learn lesser-known stories in the neighborhood. With a maximum of 14 guests—there's no minimum, so it’s possible you could have the guide’s undivided attention—the experience feels intimate, even when it's at capacity.
