5.00This 4.5 hour tour was incredibly comprehensive, informative, and offered fantastic photo opportunities throughout. Our driver and guide, Jeff, brought so much personality to the trip, though the absolute highlight was the opportunity to explore Freedom Hall. With an intimate group of just five passengers during my tour, it felt like a wonderful personalized and memorable experience.
This was a great tour,...

5.00Jeff packs alot of history in the 4+ hours. He tells you things not normally mentioned in history books. We traveled all over the city on local roads and the expressway. It is exciting, humorous and Jeff is extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter of Atlanta's history past and current.
