the tourist guide was really good at his job. He was very knowledgeable about what he was doing. Luke and the lady driver were two individuals, that were full of energy and they really worked well together.He makes us all comfortable during the tour and makes it more enjoyable. The tour was very informative and educational. Adults and kids were really enjoyed it. In addition to that, that tour was so diverse, wherein the passengers came not only from Georgia but around the world.We have from Alaska and Canada. That was really amazing! We really love to do it again. i just wished that they were able to refund one of my tickets that we weren't able to use that day.

The Atlanta trolley tour was awesome! I was one of the many affected by holiday travel challenges. During an over night layover, I decided to do the tour. I highly recommend this tour to get an overview of Atlant. Because of this tour I now plan to visit Atlanta again in the future.

Shauna was a joy! She was very knowledgeable but hilarious at the same time. Children were easily accommodated. We went on the tour during cloudy/rainy weather, but this had no negative effects. Definitely check them out!

I had 3 hours of free time in Atlanta and this was a perfect was to see a lot and have fun! Highly recommend for the beginning of your trip so that you can revisit any of the guides suggestions afterwards.

Guide & Bus driver were both professional & courteous. Appreciated their use of humor and knowledge of the city.
