The 17 Best Things to Do in Atlanta
"Prepare to be inspired and encouraged on the King Historic District Tour, which is meticulously researched by company founder and historian Akila McConnell. On the two-and-a-half-hour walking tour—at about 1.5 miles, the pace is leisurely—you’ll get an up-close look at some of the city’s most important civil rights locations and learn lesser-known stories in the neighborhood. With a maximum of 14 guests—there's no minimum, so it’s possible you could have the guide’s undivided attention—the experience feels intimate, even when it's at capacity. You’ll see the familiar highlights like The King Center, Ebenezer Baptist Church, and Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, but you’ll also visit Prince Hall Grand Lodge, once home to the nation’s first black-owned radio station—and Dr. King’s office. Just about everyone else will likely be fascinated." - Lia Picard, Jennifer Bradley Franklin
