About Us

At Open Arms Tours, we offer more than a scenic walk through Natchez—we offer a deeply authentic experience rooted in African American history, culture, and community.

Our mission is simple: to tell the whole story. Not the romanticized version. Not the watered-down version. But the real, powerful, and often overlooked narratives of the people who helped build this city—brick by brick, prayer by prayer, and generation by generation.

Each tour is thoughtfully curated to honor the resilience, brilliance, and contributions of Black Natchezians across centuries—from enslavement to entrepreneurship, from civil rights to cultural legacy. We don’t just take you to the sites—we give context, connection, and the truth behind the landmarks.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or coming home to your roots, Open Arms Tours offers a space to reflect, remember, and be inspired. This is your invitation to experience Natchez as it truly was—and still is.

Come see the story through a lens that’s long been missing—with clarity, with care, and with open arms.
