The Black History and Civil Rights Tour was my second tour, on the same day, with Carla Morrison of Chit Chat Atlanta Tours. Her thorough knowledge of Black history, passion for sharing and delivering the same, and enthusiastic personality nearly brings your experience to life. When my family arrived a few days later, I had already scheduled their tour, and even joined them... smile
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a curious local, Chit Chat Atlanta Tours offers more than sightseeing—it’s a journey into the culture, courage, and creativity that define the city. Let Atlanta tell you her story. You just have to walk it. Discover the Soul of Atlanta with Chit Chat Atlanta Tours There's more to Atlanta than what’s written in textbooks. On the Black History & Civil Rights Tour, guests walk the same streets where Dr. King was born, preached, marched, and organized. You'll stand before Ebenezer Baptist Church, explore Sweet Auburn Avenue, and stroll along the Civil Rights Walk of Fame. Yet the deeper magic lies off the beaten path—in the halls of Booker T. Washington High School where King was educated, at legendary soul food spots like Paschal’s where strategies were made over collard greens, and at Morehouse College, where young Martin found his voice. #BlackHistory #CivilRights #MLK

Carla was an excellent tour guide. She told us so many stories and answered our questions. I see Atlanta in a renewed light because of her! I highly recommend a tour with Carla for both her knowledge and hospitality! Thank you for adding depth to our day!

This personal tour was very informative and a lot of fun. The guide was knowledgeable and went out of her way to provide a great experience for me, in addition to learning a lot of new and interesting facts. I would highly recommend this tour for an in depth look at Black History and the fight for civil rights.

This was an AWSOME experience. We learned so much about our history and the history of Atlanta. Although a lot of the tour was about Martin Luther King, it was still wonderful. We got to see his beginnings and his end and it was very nice to see. It was also great to learn about the wonderful history of Atlanta and how far they've come from so long ago. To learn what impact the Black African American people had on the uprising of Atlanta was a wonderful thing to hear and see. I would love to bring my family on this tour and I will definitely request Carla to do it. Her knowledge and passion for the city and it's history really made the tour more interesting and made you want to know more.
