Traveler Tips

You get more than your money's worth on this tour!

Mostly on the bus but also enough walking to keep you going and get a little exercise.

I would recommend a slower pace and fewer malls that we rushed through.

The bus driver Pam and...

janice_s, Sep 2023

The bus driver Pam and tour guide Don were fabulous. They went above and beyond. It wasn’t their fault the bus AC was t working. That’s why I only gave 3 stars

Enjoyable Introduction to Atlanta

Teresa_L, Sep 2023

Great overview of some of the key areas of the city, its history, and the famous citizens who lived here. Guide was well informed, entertaining.

Great introduction to Atlanta

Justine_S, Sep 2023

This is a great intro to Atlanta and will give you an idea of where you want to spend more time. Could have done with an hour at the food hall instead of 45 minutes, but it was great overall. Amanda is very knowledgeable.

Amazing tour! Leaving Atlanta totally on my mind.

Donna_H, Sep 2023

I am totally satisfied with this bus tour. Money well spent! It started off in the grand beautiful historical Peachtree Center. Covered downtown Atlanta, numerous landmarks, historical sites and local markets eg. CNN building, Martin Luther King, Jr. Center, Ebenezer Baptist Church, The Carter Presidential Center, The Belt Line, Sears Roebuck and Co. I really enjoyed the drive through Buck Head, viewing Incredible beautiful mansions of the rich and famous and their scenic surroundings. Love, admire and appreciate our tour guide Don, for his wealth of knowledge and great sense of humor. I came away from this tour filled with invaluable information on the history and culture of Atlanta. There was not a dull moment on this tour. Don played his musical instrument, sang for the group and had us bursting out laughing from his lyrics and jokes. Pam, the driver is a lovely person. She kept us on schedule, made sure we got the pictures we wanted to take and also participated in entertaining us. Two really wonderful people. I would definitely recommend this tour. In fact I will consider taking this tour again with family or friends who have never gone on a tour of Atlanta.

Very interesting tour.

Deborah_E, Sep 2023

The trip was very enjoyable. I was glad to see National Historical Park attraction of Martin Luther King Jr. in the King Center and the Ebenezer Church that I hear so much about.

Great city overview

newtonsmail, Sep 2023

This tour offers a great city overview of Atlanta plus you get to see some of the mansions of Buckhead. Our driver and guide (Audrey and Amanda) were an awesome team. Audrey got us around town without a hitch, while Amanda was on point with all of her knowledge. I would definitely recommend this tour and this team. Way to go ladies!

Fantastic tour

Leila_n, Sep 2023

The tour was fantastic! It was wonderful to stop at various interesting spots and learn more about the city's history. Thanks to Amanda; very knowledgeable guide and very nice driver.

Nice way to see the city.

Emily_K, Aug 2023

Nice variety of locations visited, could have been a little shorter with a little more general city history given.

Window with a view

Gail_B, Aug 2023

Martin Luther King Jr National Park and the very knowledgeable guide and driver. I felt like I got to see and learn about Atlanta all from an air-conditioned shuttle. Was also some stops to walk around outside to see a few sites. Food stop for lunch gave you plenty of time to shop and dine. So glad I booked the tour.

Great tour!

Darriel_H, Aug 2023

The tour was great! It was awesome to stop at some cool locations and learn more history about the city

Atlanta fun tour

JOANNE_L, Aug 2023

Don, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared many fascinating facts we did not know. The combination of on the bus and off the bus stops was perfect and our driver, Audrey, was excellent and also added facts to the tour. This is a tour that not only visitors, but folks from Atlanta would thoroughly enjoy.

Discovery Atlanta with Pam & Dan

Tamara_V, Aug 2023

We anjoyed a lot and Dan was very kind and provide interesting information. Please see video Pam (great and professional driver) made! 👍🙂

The tour is well worth every penny!

caprirenya1223, Aug 2023

We had a great time. Don and Pam made the tour memorable. Ebenezer Church and the Nonviolent Center were our highlights. However, the trivia and history was not lost on Don and Pam. They put a lot of effort into knowing Atlanta and providing facts.

Letha_T, Aug 2023

I really enjoyed the visit to the King Center. It was the highlight of the tour, I wished we could have stayed a little longer.

Thoroughly informative overview of the city. Highly recommend.

Jamshed_T, Aug 2023

A highly informative and well done tour. Mary, our tour guide, was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. Our driver, Audrey, was excellent, and the bus was comfortable and secure. The tour shows you many key sites in the city, while giving you context of why they are significant. There is a good mix of showcasing history, societal changes and values, architecture, art, and food. I wish that we had more time at certain locations, however, this tour really is just to give you an overview; you should go back and explore the areas/sites more if you are like me and want to read all the plaques etc. The food at the market is outstanding; a real highlight, and Mary did a marvellous job recommending things for us. I appreciated that this was not rushed; we could take a proper breather and for those who didn't want to eat, there's plenty to see around the market and the tour guides helped us explore those options. Overall, it's a longer tour than the others that I found online, but the time flies by and everyone in my group felt like it was just right.

On a Hot Day, Riding is Better than Hop On/Off

Jerry_J, Jul 2023

We usually like hop on/off bus tours of new cities, but on a quick Atlanta visit that was HOT, we decided to try this tour with more bus time & less stops. It was AWESOME!!! Don is a funny, quirky tour guide who sings, knows EVERYTHING about Atlanta, & is completely himself throughout the tour. Hilarious! Pam is a great driver & I think we laughed more at the way they played off each other than anything. We still made several stops but it was brutal outside & the bus AC was really nice. MLK memorial/birthplace & the tour of the Atlanta mansions were our personal favorite parts of the tour. We’ve done a lot of city bus tours & I highly recommend this one.

The most memorable part...

Janice_B, Jul 2023

The most memorable part of my experience was the Martin Luther King Jr Center for Nonviolent Social Change Inc. The five hours tour was awesome! Tour guide and the driver were the best!!!

Amazing

Kennedy_H, Jul 2023

The Martin Luther King Junior Park, houses, Mercedes stadium, and Ebenezer Baptist Church we're my favs.
