The experience

The tour starts at the spot where Rick rides his horse into downtown Atlanta: the image that launched the series. From there, your guide drives and walks you through the neighborhoods and landmarks that became the show's most recognizable backdrops. You'll see the Georgia State Capitol, where the survivors raided the Smithsonian Institute in Season 9, and the homes used for Rick and Morgan's houses during Season 1 filming. The route also includes Terminus, the settlement where "all who arrive survive," and the CDC location where the group searched for answers in the early seasons.

Because this is a private tour, you're not locked into a fixed itinerary. You can tell your guide which episodes matter most to you and which locations you want to linger at or skip. The guide handles the driving between stops, so you're not navigating or figuring out parking. Bottled water is included, and the tour is designed for all fitness levels, though it does involve some walking at each location.

The three-hour window means you can fit this into a morning or afternoon without reshaping your whole day. Pickup is arranged beforehand, so you're not hunting for a meeting point. Note that this is a location tour only. It doesn't include entry to any studios or behind-the-scenes access.

What’s included

• Private transportation between all five film locations.
• bottled water.
• customizable route based on your episode preferences.
