We had an awesome time on this tour with our fabulous tour guide, Arielle! She has a background in art and history, and she had so many interesting stories and examples that wove a tale about the history and art in Atlanta. We were lucky to see the fresh wall art as the Forward Warrior Project 2024 had just happened the week prior, and were able to see a couple of artists still working on their murals!
We started next to Little’s Grocery, walked along with plenty of stops for photos, went through the Krog Street Tunnel, and ended at McCray's on the Beltline with an included a drink & waters (choice of beer, cider, or soda), markers/coloring project, and a surprise souvenir. Besides my family of 5, there were only 2 other guests, so it was a small but good size tour (they allow up to 14 guests).
We tipped in cash at the end of the tour, and the only thing I regret is not getting a photo with our guide, Arielle! We highly recommend this tour and guide! :)
My favorite Atlanta artists are:
Joe Dreher @joekingatl
Lela Brunet @lelabrunetart
Lisette Correa @arrrtaddict (a fellow Puerto Rican!)
Magdalena O'Connor @magdalenaoconnor
Suggestions:
- Parking was tough to find, so ride-share is a great idea. But we had fun driving scooters back to our car as this tour does not go in a loop.
- Use the restroom beforehand, though there is one at the restaurant at the end of the tour.
