Jake is serious about making this the best tour you will ever take. He had a professional, clean, and huge tour bus (social distancing compatible), opened the doors for us, gave us complimentary journals, magazines, and Alabama brochures in a tote bag, complimentary bottles of water (our 3 year old appreciated that), and even gave us a choice of his favorite local restaurant to eat lunch at. We drove by and walked through every major landmark in Montgomery, including the capitol, historic places like the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, the spot where the Freedom Riders were attacked, the very place Rosa Parks was arrested, and more. Jake even drove us to Selma on the very route Rev John Lewis, Dr. King, and all the foot soldiers walked, and let us walk across the famous bridge in Selma where Obama spoke in 2015 to a crowd of 80,000 people. This tour guide is a foot soldier himself. He joined the Selma march as a child and pointed out the "blacks only" water fountain he had to drink from as a child.

I was part of a group of 4 travel agents from the UK who went on a tour with Jake on 12 March 2020. What can I say about Jake - he is amazing!!! He was so knowledgeable and to be shown around Montgomery by someone who is living history was a privilege. We were lucky enough to meet a Freedom Rider at the Freedom Rides Museum, her name was Kredelle Petway. Jake seemed to enjoy this as much as we did. Looking around the museums and reading what was written down, I found quite emotional at times, but it happened and must never be forgotten. Jake is a gentleman, he had time for everyone and answered any questions we had without hesitation. I mentioned to Jake that my daughter was learning about Civil Rights in her history class at school.He gave me his card and said that if she needed any more information, then she or her teacher could email him. I highly recommend any of Jake's tours to anyone, there is so much to see!! I have travelled a lot with my job and have been to many museums and on many , but this has to be one of the best tours I have been on!!! I had a great day - thank you!!!

This is a near shore bottom fishing adventure that will take you within eye sight of the beach, no more than 3 miles from the coast. This is an excellent opportunity for those who have never experienced fishing in the Gulf of Mexico or any body of open water. Capt. will be targeting the multitude of near shore reefs and wrecks and will be focusing his efforts on Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper and Lane Snapper. Don't be fooled because you may just hook up on the elusive "Cobia" or heavy hitter called the "Amberjack" more predominantly known as the "Reef Donkey" and for good cause...as they will kick your buns.
