Highlights
Explore Atlanta’s rich history and vibrant culture through the lens of its most iconic homes on this beautifully curated city tour. Our first stop is the Georgia Governor’s Mansion, where guests step inside for a guided tour and learn about its architecture and historical significance. Public tours are available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. On Fridays and Saturdays, the experience shifts to the celebrated Margaret Mitchell House, home of the author of Gone With the Wind. The journey continues with an exterior viewing only of the elegant Swan House mansion, one of Atlanta’s most photographed landmarks. We then pause for a classic Southern Ladies lunch at the charming Swan Coach House, a beloved local institution (lunch cost not included). Afterward, we make our way to Midtown to explore historic Ansley Park, a beautifully preserved neighborhood developed in the early 1900s with picturesque homes. The tour concludes at the original pick‑up point.

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.
