An expert guide will take you to the must-see sites of Atlanta, Dr. King's birthplace, where he grew up and developed his leadership to become a global icon.

You will discover his wonderful history as you walk through legendary sites that marked a before and after in the consolidation of the movement against racial segregation in the USA, among which stand out:

  • Sweet Auburn: explore the African-American neighbourhood where Atlanta's civil rights movement has historically been rooted.

You'll also have the opportunity to visit the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame, a space dedicated to honouring the struggle of iconic activists who participated in the movement alongside Luther King, such as John Lewis and Rosa Parks.

And to round out your unforgettable journey through Martin Luther King's momentous milestones, you can take a photo at the Jackson Street Bridge, which overlooks the city with an exceptional panoramic view.

    Great guide. I knew it was a long hike, but I told the guide that I was not in very good physical condition and he accompanied me all the way. He made sure I understood the history and didn't overwhelm me with the hike.

    We had good weather for walking. We shared a good time with the group and everyone was very attentive, the guide promoted the integration of the group. He asked questions so that everyone could interact and have a very enriching experience.
