Civil Rights Walking Tour, Self Guided - It was a great tour that we could do at our own pace while visiting all of the great Civil Rights places right in Montgomery. It was so affordable, easy to follow, and just a great tour with fabulous narration.

Freedom - Great tour. A wealth of personal testimonials, and seeing close up allowed us to experience the Movement as if we were there in real time.

Nice tour. Rent a scooter instead of walking! - Great narration and informative. Appreciated the route and information shared. I would recommend renting a scooter to travel along the route and listen. The roads are relatively empty in the late afternoon/evening.

Worth the walk - The narrative was well written and well spaced. It was about a 2.5 mile walk, and the sites chosen were perfect. Very moving

Illuminating History - The tour was insightful and illuminated the history I was not taught in school. I find it interesting that the beginning of the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement were both in Montgomery. Where there is darkness, the light is able to shine the brightest. Thank you Rosa Parks, Dr. King and all the other brave women and men for the light you brought.

Well done walking tour - The walk was well paced. The directions were clear, as was the guidance arrow. The sound effects and music added to the experience. I was surprised and looking for a bus until I figured out it was a sound effect. The narrative provided enough insight and if the listener wished to delve further, the museums along the way provided that.

Great for an overview of the city - Makes navigating the city easy, well paced and easy to follow. It brings the places to life and gives you a great overview. Helped us decide what else we wanted to take a closer look at.

A welcome education - A moving experience. Being from the UK neither of us was as aware of the past wrongs that we should have been

Good addition to the area. - Good walking tour. Not a difficult walk if you are in any kind of shape. Definitely makes the area come to life. It would not have had the impact walking the path without the narration and sounds. Note: there is one part where police sirens go off in the audio….don’t freak out like I did. :)
