Atl City Tour - This trip was truly remarkable. Shelly was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of the locations we visited, and we were equally impressed by her deep understanding of Atlanta itself. She was engaging and entertaining, and she made us feel like she was part of our group rather than just our guide. Shelly shared additional sites to explore, outstanding dining recommendations, and insightful perspectives on Atlanta’s history, how it compares to other major cities, and its role on a global scale. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide.

This is our first visit... - This is our first visit to the City and one to cherish. We’re overwhelmingly amazed to learn its rich history and Shirley was a great tour guide filling us up on its past. Although I was a bit disappointed not to explore The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum since its closed but was glad to set foot on its grounds.

Private tour of Atlanta - While this was like the description, I was hoping for more information about the city. The first 1.5-2 hours was touring a residential area like we were with a real estate agent. The last hour to 1.5 hours was at Ponce City Mraket which we could do on our own. That leaves 1.5-2 hours to learn about the city.
We were expecting a bus to be able to see more but were in a private vehicle which at times made it hard to see items.
When the tour guide arrived, we were the only family with the host. This made it a little more personal.

Quick Tour of Atlanta - As a small group of five we drove through many of Atlanta’s residential neighborhoods in a large SUV; lunch stop at Ponce Market and passed by major city sights. The primary reason to select this tour was to visit the Jimmy Carter Library & MLK visitors center, both unfortunately closed because of the government shutdown. So disappointing!
