Tour was really good and informative. Highly recommend. Looks like a face on left window 👻 would be a great date night idea and not expensive. Grab a coffee from frothy monkey and take the tour

I had best time on the tour! It was a great mix of history and entertainment. I also liked the ability to pause when needed because I decided to go inside some of the stops along the route.

If you want to be threatened to be killed because you are white...go ahead and go. We were told that white people are killed in this area and he would get us back to our car IF I bought him some thing to drink and some cigarettes.... $27 later we were in our car and getting the hell out of Birmingham... was he serious? I don't know and was not taking the chance. As far as I'm am concerned you our me the pice of the tickets, the $27 and gas money....
