    2. National Memorial for Peace and Justice

      The National Memorial for Peace and Justice was conceived with the hope of creating a sober, meaningful site where people can gather and reflect on America's history of racial inequality. Set on a six-acre site, the memorial uses sculpture, art, and design to contextualize racial terror. The national memorial is a sacred space for truth-telling and reflection about racial terror in America and its legacy.

    3. Located on the site of a former warehouse where black people were enslaved in Montgomery, Alabama, The Legacy Museum uses interactive media, sculpture, videography, and exhibits to immerse visitors in the sights and sounds of the Domestic Slave Trade, racial terrorism, the Jim Crow South, and the world's largest prison system. Compelling visuals and date-rich exhibits provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity to investigate America's history of racial injustice and its legacy - to draw dynamic impacted by tragic history of racial inequality.

    Mandatory

    One MUST live this experience. It's ugly, it's violent, it ain't confortable, but we have to see the roots of racism, in order not to reproduce it

    Amazing civil rights tour

    Jake was incredibly informative and very professional. I was dumbfounded by the amount of civil rights history that occurred in Montgomery and Selma.we highly recommend this tour.

    Eye opening Civil Rights education

    This was clearly the highlight of our summer vacation. We saw so many locations where important history was made. Mr. Williams knew firsthand because he was there at the time. He has so many stories that make the history come alive. We ate lunch at a "hole in the wall" restaurant that had really good southern food and a friendly ambience. A couple of tips if you're not as knowledgeable (and we were definitely not). It is possible to conflate the timeline of the bus boycott with the Selma march; but these events are separated by ten years or so. Also, we studied up a bit prior to the tour so it would not overwhelm, including watching a couple of movies (2014 "Selma" movie was one). The day after our tour we left Montgomery going back through Selma and actually drove around Selma to revisit a couple of the areas of interest. If we would have had more time, we would have liked to travel to Marion where Jimmie Lee Jackson was murdered. Finally, the story of Viola Liuzzo was fascinating though outrageous; and we stopped on our own at her memorial site to pay our respects. The fight continues.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share with you.

    Simply the best

    This is a tour like no other. Jake is simply the most knowledgeable, professional, personable tour guide you will meet. I thought I knew a lot already, having lived through the 1960s, but Jake gave a breadth and depth of information that is invaluable to understanding Selma and Montgomery. Suitable for all ages and backgrounds. If you are anywhere near Alabama, go with Jake.

    6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montgomery.

    How much does 6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery cost?

    +

    Prices start at $500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montgomery usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montgomery is not rushed.

    Is 6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montgomery, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montgomery can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montgomery and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montgomery within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montgomery?

    +

    Montgomery, AL packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Montgomery by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Montgomery experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Montgomery Civil Rights Walk of Freedom Self Guided (GPS) Walking Tour, 3hr Private Driving Civil Rights Tour, Private 6 Hour Tour of Selma and Montgomery Civil Rights Sites. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montgomery?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Montgomery, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montgomery?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
