We really enjoyed our tour with our excellent guide, Paris. Food was delicious and some of the Atlantans in our group had never experienced some of the places we tried - not to mention the visitors among us. The cemetery tour and ATL history was informative and fun.

Courtney and Delaney were fabulous! The food was great and we learned so much about Atlanta that we never knew even though we’ve lived here for years!
