“Roger is absolutely the best guide we have ever had anywhere. His depth of knowledge and understanding of the history of Atlanta and Georgia and the civil war and how it all relates to civil rights and present issues is profound. He connects it all in a way that makes sense and increases understanding of all sides of each issue. We have had 3 tours with Roger and each one has been phenomenal.”
