Hi there! I am a tour guide who has been showing people the great cities of Chicago, Los Angeles and now Atlanta. I love cities, history and enjoying excellent craft beer in the city.
You will find yourself in front of the Olympic Rings heralding the entrance to Centennial Park. As you waltz down the park and see, quilt by quilt, how this worldwide event came to fruition in Atlanta, you will hear the tragic story of the bombing that occurred one fateful night.
From there, you will be in tourist ground zero. All within a 3 minute walk you can explore the Georgia Aquarium, The World of Coca-Cola, and the National Civil Rights Museum (the highest ranked attraction on Tripadvisor.) You'll get insight as to how Atlanta became the genesis of the Civil Rights Movement and learn about the bizarre beginnings of the most famous soft drink in the world.
From there, you'll leave the comfort of the park and explore a bit of downtown Atlanta. You will be welcomed by the Skyview: our signature Ferris Wheel, and glimpse the marquee of The Tabernacle, a popular concert hall. Just a bit further down you'll learn about Ted Turner's private life, CNN, and his Montana Grill.
And finally, we explore the impressive Westin Peachtree Hotel, Walton Spring Park, before ending at the South's favorite breakfast joint: Waffle House.
By the end of this tour you'll be able to answer such burning questions as:
And lots more. Come experience it for yourself and discover why Centennial Park is at the top of every travelers bucket list in Atlanta!
We meet in front of the Olympic Rings in Centennial Park.
