My husband and I enjoyed this tour with Wolfgang. He is very knowlegable about the history and entertaining with it . He if flexible and willing to alter the stated itinerary to accommodate the preferences of the group. He will take up to 5 people in his van so it is a small group. I would recommend this tour.

First of all Wolfgang ( our tour guide), was very knowledgeable about the Birmingham area. He kept us educated on the history and what was happening presently. My favorite part of the tour was our visit to the Alabama Peanut Company. Si ce I'm not from Alabama, my first taste of a boiled peanut was amazing! We were able to watch the worker open up the peanut roaster, and have the roasted peanuts fall into a metal tub when they were done. That was fun to watch. We bought the Cajun flavored peanuts to take home. Vulcan park was truly an experience I'll always cherish. We were also able to take pictures on Legion Field, the staff there was great and accomidating. We were also able to visit Rickwood Field, the oldest baseball park in America. That my friend was like viewing the past so glad that ,that field hasn't been torn down. What a historic treasure for Birmingham, that is being used in present day. We were able to witness this beautiful city alive and well. I will finish with this16th Street Church was a reminder to me that we should all love one another. Not try and hurt one another. The church is beautiful, the stained glass windows are amazing. I loved the MLK statue across the street. Birmingham is a gem!
