This private tour digs into how Atlanta went from a railroad depot named Terminus to the sprawling Southern capital it is today. A dedicated guide walks through the city's founding, its destruction during the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights era, connecting each chapter to what the city looks like now.

Over about 3 hours, the route covers Inman Park, Cabbagetown, the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, Krog Street Tunnel, Centennial Olympic Park, the Fairlie-Poplar historic district, Oakland Cemetery, the Atlanta BeltLine East Side Trail, Piedmont Park, and the Jackson Street Bridge. It's a private group only, so the pace and questions can go wherever curiosity leads. Museum and attraction admission is not included, so the tour sticks to the streets, parks, and public spaces that tell Atlanta's story best.
