Multiple attempts were required to successfully contact our tour conductor. Park Rangers were available for the self-guided portion of the tour which included the interior of MLKs home and the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Consequently, the tour had low value for the price paid since the admission is free to each of the national historical sites. Also, the tour omitted the Martin Luther King Jr Center, the Atlanta University Center and MLKs favorite soul food restaurant, the Busy Bee. Instead of the Busy Bee, we were given a 14 voucher to eat lunch at a newly built, modern Paschal restaurant that replaced the original. The food was good, but it had no historical significance other than the Paschal name.

The wearing of masks, however, is still strongly encouraged due to the presence of tight spaces inside the Birth Home where social distancing can be difficult. Listen to the sermons and speeches of Dr. King at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Browse exhibits about the history of the church or watch a video of Dr. King’s sister as she talks about her family and the church.

The birth home is one block east of Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. The house great experience,the memorial peaceful just being in sweet Auburn made me think how bless we are wonderful feeling ♥️.. This experience requires a minimum number of travelers.
Kristin did a wonderful job giving us the history of MLK and the entire peaceful movement to gain rights for the black. She was interesting and very easy to hear and was able to answer most any question presented. However Ebenezer Church was closed and that was disappointing. I think the tour could have been longer at the same cost. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance of the experience for a full refund.
In conclusion, I was very disappointed in this tour because it added no value to a self-guided tour that I could have done on my own. Greetings Ms. Patricia, It clearly states in our tour description. So until your review says, we do tell people prior to booking. Additionally, we email people the same information once they book, to ensure they understand. It is important that clients clearly read tour descriptions prior to booking. Furthermore our tour guide does an excellent job with sharing the history of the area.

I enjoyed hearing the stories told about Martin Luther King Jr. & his family… stories I had never heard & things they do not teach you in school. Visiting the home where Dr. King was born and lived the first twelve years of his life is often the highlight of ones visit to the park. Unfortunately trying to get on a tour of the Birth Home can also be the biggest let down if of your visit. By following the instructions below and with a little luck you may get on a tour of the home on your first visit to the site. Birth Home Tours are limited to 15 people and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the tour.
