Visit the Southeastern “Magic City” Birmingham with Private Tour.  One of the coolest cities in America, Birmingham is a treasure and much more to this City than it being the home of the Civil Rights Movement and the Dr Martin Luther King Jr  16th Street Church. 

Primarily a steel-making centre the city exploded overnight to become a fast growing and popular place to live and work.  Also, the home of Mercedes-Benz USA centre for manufacturing the diversity of this city is fantastic. 

With universities, cultural heritage sites and excellent nightlife Birmingham is the place to be on a guided sightseeing tour.  The shopping is great, and the dining experiences are very diverse they do it all here but when dining they like things at a somewhat slow and relaxed pace. 

Dining here is an experience and the locals love to serve up their Famous Southern BBQ to tourists with all its bells and whistles.
