Incredible! - Our tour of Atlanta with Omar was incredible. His storytelling, passion for history, and compassion toward us shone throughout our time together. Not only did we see famous places in civil rights history, we experienced amazing art and even tasted delicious treats from the Black community! He is able to weave together many stories into a beautiful tapestry of the diversity of Atlanta. Do yourself a favor and take this memorable tour.
