So much information that I did not now. Our host ( Ms. Holland) (hopefully I spelled her name correctly) did an excellent job in telling the store. It was like she was there herself. The videos was awesome and the timing was great! Truly enjoyed the tour. The church is beautiful! Thank you for all that you do!

The personal connection of the staff to the Church made the information more impactful and meaningful. All the information that was shared about the Church from its founding to its role in the Civil Rights Confrontation Campaign in Birmingham to its current mission gave a full presentation of the Church.

We loved our time at 16th Street Baptist Church! My students said it was their favorite place that we stopped on our field trip that day! The tour guides were fantastic and personable and the church was beautiful and filled with history.

The substitute tour guide talked about himself too much, and left no time for questions. When the main tour guide returned to the tour, she also did not allow time for questions. Both of them said, "any questions"? and gave not even 10 seconds pause before moving on and cutting off the opportunity for questions.
