Zoo Atlanta is better suited for younger children… we completed our visit there in 1 1/2 hours…. World of Coca Cola was your typical tourist attraction and if it were not for the pass, probably would have skipped … Center for Civil and Human Rights was very informative and well presented; College Football Hall of Fame was equally an interesting and well thought out informative experience.

Our tour guide, Don was amazing. His commentary, quirky delivery of facts and tidbits of knowledge kept us entertained the entire duration of the tour. His interaction and camaraderie with Pam, our bus driver, and his singing and musical interludes on the harmonica were a lot of fun. We totally enjoyed his movie shooting and real estate trivia too. It was a great way to see Atlanta!

Had a lovely day exploring Atlanta with Mary and Audrey. They are very outgoing and give you lots of information about the city, neighbourhoods and some history. The sites are not close to each other so it’s a great way to have the mini bus. Thank you for a fab experience!

Don shares a world of Atlanta history! He is so informed and knowledgeable . One would never think to ask the things he shares!!! Pam was an exvellent bus driver!

The pass made entering the events fast and easy. Plus the cost of the pass made the overall experience less extensive
