Build Your Own Atlanta Day Around What You Actually Want to See

You design the itinerary around your interests — architecture, film locations, Civil War and Civil Rights history, or street art — and a local guide leads you through Atlanta in a private vehicle. The tour includes transportation and water, moves at your pace, and works for groups of two or more. Book by telling the team what you actually want to see, and they'll build the day around it.

The Experience

"So what are you really interested in?" That's how these tours start — not with a script, but with a conversation about what actually matters to you. Atlanta has too many angles to cover in one day, so instead of guessing, the guide works backward from your interests. Architecture and historic neighborhoods, film locations from The Walking Dead or The Hunger Games, Civil War and Civil Rights history, street art — you pick the thread and the tour follows it.

The logistics are simple: private transportation picks you up, and you move through the city on your own schedule, stopping where you want to linger. No rushing between a preset list of checkpoints. If you spend an extra twenty minutes at a mural or a historic corner, that's fine — the driver and guide adjust. Bottled water is included, and the pace assumes you're comfortable walking neighborhoods and standing for stretches, but nothing extreme. Groups stay small, usually under a dozen people, which means the guide actually knows your names by the second stop.

What makes this different from a standard Atlanta tour is that you're not following someone else's idea of what matters. The city has layers — from the architecture of downtown to the street art renaissance happening in neighborhoods most visitors miss — and a custom tour lets you go deep into one or two of them instead of skimming all of them. If you're a film location scout or a history person or someone who came to Atlanta specifically for the murals, the guide knows how to spend the hours where they'll actually matter to you.

You'll need at least one other person to book (minimum two guests), and children count as paid spots. The tour works best if you know roughly what you want before you arrive — not down to the minute, but whether you're chasing Civil War sites or The Hunger Games filming spots makes a real difference in how the day shapes up. Once you book, you'll connect with the team to sketch out what a day looks like for you, and then it's just showing up and letting someone who knows the city take you where you want to go.

What’s included

Your tour includes private transportation throughout Atlanta, bottled water, and a guide who builds the itinerary around your interests. You choose the focus — architecture, film locations, Civil War and Civil Rights history, or street art — and the guide handles the route and timing.

Is this one for you?Book this if you're visiting Atlanta for the first time and want to skip the generic highlights, or if you're returning and have a specific interest — film locations, murals, or history — that deserves a full day instead of a quick stop. The customization is what makes it worth the private vehicle cost.

You can combine interests. The guide will help you prioritize so the day flows geographically and you're not backtracking across the city.

How many people can join one tour?

Minimum two guests per booking. Maximum group size depends on the vehicle, typically under a dozen.

Is this tour good for families with kids?

Yes, if children are accompanied by a paid adult. The walking and pace depend on what you choose to see, so discuss that when you book.

What if I don't know exactly what I want to see?

Contact the team after booking. They'll ask about your interests and suggest a route that hits the highlights you care about.

No, animals are not permitted on the tour.

How long is the tour?

Duration depends on your itinerary and interests. Discuss timing when you book to fit your schedule.
