Things to do in Atlanta, Georgia (GA): The Best Private Tours

September 16, 2021 Hana Mouser

Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

We were fortunate to have Janie guide us on our tour of Savannah and the Bonaventure Cemetery. While she had a standardized itinerary around the Squares, she added interesting and personal flavor to each of the sights. Ultimately it was like having an old friend taking us around her hometown, with great interpersonal conversations along the way. She will always be the highlight of our Savannah trip.
