PICKUP POINTAs the center of the Civil Rights Movement, Atlanta is rich in stories, culture, and historical significance; join this tour to learn about the amazing capital of Georgia!
Your journey will start right at the doorsteps of your hotel or Airbnb, where our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle. You will first drive through Historic Sweet Auburn Avenue, The West End, Castleberry Hills, Vine City, Atlanta University Center, and then stop in Downtown Atlanta. Next, we will stroll around the State Capitol Building and learn about the impact of the Battle of Atlanta during the American Civil War and how the Civil Rights movement continues today.
Then you will visit historic Ponce City Market in Old Fourth Ward and Piedmont Park in Midtown and learn about a mix of languages, cuisines, and music that lends this world-class Southern city an exciting, energetic buzz.
After that, you will check out some spawning new residential suburbs that today form an intrinsic part of Atlanta’s heritage and hear how Asian and Latin American cultures, which were interfused with the Irish, African-American, German, and Austrian immigrants, played a role in the city’s early history.

A very comprehensive tour with a very informative and entertaining tour guide. I was really impressed with his range of knowledge, and how proud he seemed of Atlanta’s heritage in the civil rights movement.

Best tour ever! Sean was so knowledgeable and kept us engaged and entertained. I loved every minute. I would recommend taking this tour, your first day in town, so you can decide what you want to see.
Celeste –
It was a fabulous experience! The tour was led by an Atlanta native that went out of his way to educate himself on every aspect of historical Atlanta trivia. We toured from the southern part of Atlanta, through the mid-city and up into the north through Buckhead. The car was super comfortable. I would definitely recommend doing this tour if you ever visit the city.
