Itinerary
Meet your guide in front of Origin Atlanta, a Wyndham Hotel; 110 Mitchell St SW, Atlanta, GA 30303, United States. Please do not enter the hotel, it is only a meeting point and the staff is not informed about the tour.
Begin at the Georgia State Capitol, where gold-domed grandeur reflects the state’s political evolution.
Just steps away, the Catholic Shrine of the Immaculate Conception tells a quieter story of faith and community, with roots stretching back to the 1800s.
At Underground Atlanta, your guide will bring to life the post-Civil War era and the city’s rebirth from the ashes—plenty of history to uncover.
From there, admire the early 20th-century architecture around the Healey Building, once part of Atlanta’s skyscraper boom. Stroll into the Fairlie-Poplar District, known for its preserved facades and small-town charm tucked into a modern skyline.
End near SkyView Atlanta, where your guide shares how this towering wheel became a symbol of downtown’s revival. Throughout the walk, expect insights and anecdotes that only a local expert can offer, making each stop feel personal and alive.
Continue to Centennial Olympic Park, a symbol of Atlanta’s international spotlight during the 1996 Games. Your guide will explain how the park transformed the area and created space for memory and celebration.
Just nearby, stop at the World of Coca-Cola and hear the fascinating story of how a local drink became a global icon.

About Atlanta
Atlanta is the capital of Georgia, a green, hilly city known for its civil rights sites, museums, parks, a vast airport and Southern cooking.
Atlanta grew from a railway junction laid out in 1837, was burned during the Civil War in 1864, and was rebuilt. It sits on rolling hills at about 320 metres and is covered in so many trees that it calls itself the city in a forest. Sweet Auburn is the neighbourhood where Martin Luther King Jr. was born and preached, and the national historical park there keeps his birth home and the Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Top-ranked sights in Atlanta: Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
