Jake made this educational experience meaningful for our entire family. This historic tour will have a lasting impact. While we watched documentaries to better prepare our children, Jake’s lived experience and historical overview brought a deeper sense of understanding.

The tour experience was excellent. I appreciated the pre-trip presentation to help frame the history and events around the sites we would visit. Our guide was very knowledgeable, personable, professional, and friendly. He made the history come alive with interesting and important stories and details. I am so very glad that I had the opportunity to take this tour, it was meaningful and will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Jake Williams, owner of Montgomery Tours, LLC, provided our group of nine with a thorough and enlightening historical tour of Montgomery, Selma, and the 1965 freedom marches from Selma to Montgomery. His knowledge of Alabama’s history as well as that of Montgomery and its historical figures was detailed and accurate. The six-hour guided tour was extensive and expanded by Mr. Williams’s personal accounts of his immediate family and ancestors who have lived in this area for nearly two centuries. The tour bus was comfortable, the sound system adequate, and the itinerary well planned.
Mr. Williams is an impeccable and gracious host who compiles the historical facts of Montgomery and Alabama to create the historical truth about its racial inequality.
