About this experience

If you’re looking to experience the most of the city in a short amount of time, our 4-hour Roundabout City Tour has been carefully crafted to offer a fantastic insight into Atlanta. Our Atlanta City Tour condenses 3-4 days of independent exploration into a 4-hour tour. On this tour, you’ll see historical and cultural sites, high-rise towers, spectacular city skyline views, and beautiful Southern mansions, to name a few attractions. We understand that you want to experience as much as possible, and that’s why we tend to go further than any other tour company in the City of Atlanta. Rather than stick to one district, we’ll take you to Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead to expand your awareness of Atlanta’s culture and history. Our tour allows time for up to three stops, so you can explore the destinations of your choice and take some photos. We'll take you to iconic spots such as MLK Jr.’s birth home, Underground Atlanta, The Varsity, for the perfect overview of our eclectic city.
