Well worth it!! - You should plan for longer than advertised. Our tour was close to five hours. I am new to town and decided to gift this to myself as a birthday present. I am so glad I did. I learned and saw a lot and had a good time. Highly recommend to anyone. Also a good value.

Wanting More - Every time I come to Atlanta, (which has been 4 times in the last 6 years) I book this tour. The tour changes every time I come with more information or something new added. The guide is friendly, engaging, and keeps you wanting more. See you next year for my Birthday :)

The best tour of Atlanta by far... - I have been on other tours before but this by far was the best! I wanted to take my family visiting from Chicago on a tour of Atlanta so I booked this tour after reading the review. It was more than I expected. My niece thanked me four times during our tour for having such a great day going on this tour. Jeff was the best and extremely knowledgeable of all things ATL. Thanks again and I will book again when other family members come to visit.
