Atlanta Sightseeing Bus Tours — Local services in Atlanta

We had Don as our tour guide and Ms. Pam as our driver; Pam was a great city driver and Don with his (*spoiler alert) harmonica made the trip feel like a family trip. They are very hospitable and allow you to bring food and drinks/coffee on the bus (while respecting your fellow passengers). It rained the entire tour (there may be more walking when weather permits and I would not have minded that at all) but being on the comfortable bus and hearing incredibly informative, relative, and all encompassing information about a wonderful city made a rainny morning so delightful.

The MLK stop was very moving and Don recommended us to come back (free visitor parking) on our own time to get a more fuller experience. Going into the very church where MLK Jr. co preached for 8 yrs +/- and seeing the bullet hole where his mother was shot was surreal. I was grateful to see Don so friendly with the park rangers working in the foyer of the church. I also noticed that Don waved and was friendly with all the locals working at the stops and he talked so highly about a city that is clearly near and dear to his heart.

Some of the stops are a bit short but 5 hours passes very quickly and even in the rain we fit in a lot of touring.

If you can take this tour, do it. It’s affordable, fun, and informative. Cant say enough good things about...

We were actually 15 minutes late for the tour. When we called the headquarters, they were very understanding and immediately called the driver of the bus. He picked us up from the meeting point, and drove just us two to where the rest of the group was. We were so grateful!!!

The tour itself was great. I'm actually a resident of Atlanta, but never got around to seeing the neighborhoods of the inner city. They mapped it out pretty well for us, while pointing out historical points. But they kept up with the times as well, talking about how GA Tech and SCAD students were having an impact on the city's landscape/murals. The portion of the tour where we went down Tuxedo Drive was super long... We weren't so interested in seeing so many celebrities' houses, and would've appreciated more historical references.

Also, FYI, they only spend about 20-30 at the locations they choose to stop at: MLK museum, CNN, and Ponce City Market. Move fast to see everything and/or pick-up lunch!

It would be great to have them point out the different kinds of architecture, kind of like the Chicago architectural boat tour. After that boat tour, I began to notice all the different kinds of structures in the city, and would've loved to hear more about the architects and the era during which they were built.

But that's just me. haha Thanks for...

Low 3 star score because this company really does not have an address for their meeting place. 231 Peachtree does not exist. I had to get help finding the location from the Marriott Hotel one block away. What they need to say is go to Peachtree Center which is the mall downtown, and meet in the food court near Chick-fil-A, then look for the person wearing the yellow T-shirt. We then all walked out of Peachtree Center to get into the van parked on a side street. Everyone got lost finding the location so we ended up starting 15 minutes late. Our tour guide Don is very, very knowledgeable, but he tends to ramble and is NOT in tune with his audience. He needs to pause more often instead of rambling a script that he has memorized. It was difficult to interrupt him and ask questions. The best thing about the tour in my opinion was MLK Jr Historical Park. We did NOT get to do a walking tour around the CNN Building as was stated on their online site. The next best thing was driving through "mansions row". Other than that and MLK Jr Historical Park, I was a little disappointed. No good chances for photo opportunities because the bus was always on the move with traffic. I really wish there had been more stops just to take photos. The CNN Building, Coca-Cola...
