Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for young kids, or is it better for older teens and adults?

A: The Martin Luther King Jr. Walking Tour is generally suitable for older kids and teens. Younger children may find parts of the tour less engaging since it covers serious historical content. However, if your younger ones are interested in history, they might really enjoy it. Just keep in mind that it's a walking tour, so being able to walk for about 1-2 hours is a must!

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Is it mostly outdoors?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since there's a lot of walking involved! The tour is mostly outdoors, so I'd recommend dressing in layers depending on the weather. Sunscreen is a good idea if it’s sunny. And don't forget a hat or sunglasses — it can get pretty warm in Atlanta!

Q: How do we handle rescheduling if something comes up?

A: You can reschedule the MLK Jr. Walking Tour by contacting Atlanta Tours and Leisure directly. They usually have a flexible rescheduling policy, but it's best to do it at least 24 hours in advance to avoid any fees. Just keep the contact info handy in case you need it!

Thinking of gifting the MLK Walking Tour for my sister's birthday!

I’m considering the Martin Luther King Jr. Walking Tour for my sister who loves history and social justice. It’s free, which is a bonus! I read that it covers his childhood home and church, which sounds amazing. Has anyone done this tour? What was it like? Would she enjoy it?

Just finished the MLK Walking Tour, and it was powerful!

Wow, I just got back from the Martin Luther King Jr. Walking Tour in Atlanta! It was such an eye-opening experience. Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared tons of incredible stories. We visited his childhood home and the church where he preached. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn more about his legacy. It’s a must-do when you're in Atlanta!
