Atlanta city tour - Our driver and guide, Omar, was great. Very knowledgable about the area and was interactive with those of us on the bus. Wanted to engage us and make sure we were enjoying. Spent extra time making sure to get up all the planned stops and didn’t rush thru anything. Had an enjoyable experience and learned a lot.

Thumbs down - I was disappointed in the tour guide for this tour. It was filled mostly with her opinions on things—what she did and did not like about Atlanta and even went into topics that a tour guide should leave well alone. She announced to our small group the two states she thought were the worst in the U.S. The group was solely from those two states. I was hoping to get more facts about the region but instead felt like she was giving us the gist of her thoughts on things. I was not impressed. The tour calls for a few stops. She was fifteen minutes late picking us up at the second stop. In addition, the tour was scheduled to leave at 10AM. We received a text the night before that it would now be leaving at 9:30. It wasn’t professional. I wouldn’t recommend this tour nor Shelly, the very-opinionated tour guide.
