What People Are Saying

"I'm delighted visitors to Atlanta can get an up-close-and-personal tour of Georgia's Civil War sites from one of the best in the business. J. Mark Powell is an outstanding tour guide, a successful writer and a longtime friend. He knows how to bring history to life, and his Civil War Getaway is a tour you won't want to miss!"

Author, AMERICAN BRUTUS: John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln Conspiracies

“There’s the history they teach you in books – then there’s the history that really happened. My Civil War Getaway tour stripped away the flat ‘who, what, when, where’ they crammed down our throats in school and brought the past back to life. Amazing!”

“I always knew history was interesting. But I never knew it was fun, too! J. Mark showed me the Civil War had a human side with many amusing moments amid all the terrible tragedy.”

“I’ve lived in Atlanta for several years, but I never knew the real story behind all the history that happened here. Even someone who’s lived in this area all their life will come away from a Civil War Getaway tour with things they didn’t know before.”
Valerie Nozick
Atlanta, Georgia

“As the parent of two small boys, I can say Civil War Getaway is the perfect way to expose kids to history. They may not remember everything they saw on our tour, but they’ll never look at the past the same away. This is one history lesson they’ll never forget!”
