Atlanta Historical Homes Tour

Our guide was a genuinely nice person and made the experience more fun and interesting.Se is also a great driver.We saw some beautiful and interesting things and places. S. Williams was our guide and she is the best.

It was a great weekend with the areas we visited and our driver was very knowledgeable about the city.

Shelly was knowledgeable, interesting, and super friendly. The tour had so many beautiful homes great historical information and a lovely lunch spot! I would do it again on my next trip to Atlanta!

It was my daughter and I and we got to tour the Governor's Mansion and the Margaret Mitchell House. If anything there just isn't enough time at each stop but there is so much to see while driving around it is understandable. Our driver was wonderful in providing not just the information as planned but in answering our many questions also. Lunch at the Swan House was delicious but took longer than anticipated (not the fault of the tour, the restaurant was super busy) so we didn't get any time for the gift shop which is probably better for my wallet anyway. I really appreciated they did our tour since there were only two of us on the tour that day. We not only had our tour guide but also a guide in training.

<p>We were scheduled for a pick-up time of 10:15-10:30, but our driver didn't come to the hotel until close to 10:45. Then he got lost on the way to the Atlanta History Center, and we turned around in multiple people's driveways trying to get there. When we got finally got there, we were dropped off and told that the guide was coming, and she didn't arrive for 30 minutes where we were just standing there. We then learned that the Smith Family Farm is an exhibit at the center and not something you actually travel to see, and the Swan House is also right on the property - all included if you just bought an entrance to the History Center. We also didn't know that there was a lunch that you would go to on the tour since it's not listed on this site, and although it was good food, we were hoping to spend 4 hours learning history - not an hour walking around and 90 minutes eating. After we had lunch, we were supposed to be picked up by our original driver and taken to the Margaret Mitchell House and around Buckhead, but he didn't show up. We had to uber to our hotel or wait 45 minutes for him to arrive. We were told we would get a refund, but only actually got 50 refunded. I enjoyed the sites, but would've been MUCH better off just going to the History Center myself and walking around. Waste of time and money. Very frustrating.</p>

We did not get either a tour of the Swan House or of the plantation/farm house. Our driver was often late and we had to wait. The lunch stop was excellent and the Margaret Mitchell house tour very interesting, but we only saw the outside of the Swan House and were dropped off at the Governor's Mansion.

<p>It was a great tour, our guide, Shelly was wonderful. Very informative, I learned a lot. Definitely would recommend</p>

<p>Shelly, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing.<br/>
Best tour ever!!!!! On a scale of 1-10 she was a 100.</p>

<p>Our tour operator was Great Exploration Tours and they were fantastic! Lots of personal touches and a great tour four a very thorough Atlanta experience.</p>

<p>The tour was exceptional. Our guide Shelly was awesome and so knowledgeable. We enjoyed her narration and the information she provided. Will be happy to refer others!</p>

<p>Shelly is great,sweet guide.<br/>
We had terrible weather. But if a bummer.<br/>
Margaret Mitchell house is very interesting, worth the visit.<br/>
Swan house, wasn't guided... wish it was.<br/>
The museum was really just visiting the farm, and farm life <br/>
No tine inside actual museum.<br/>
You need to book it on your own.</p>

<p>Had a great time. Our tour guide was excellent and even dropped us at a recommended restaurant at the end of the tour. Would definitely recommend.</p>

<p>A good tour to take if you only have a 1/2 day and want to see some of the historical sights in Atlanta. It definitely will give you a good taste of Atlanta's history. Our tour guide was great, efficient and helpful. I would book a similar tour elsewhere again. Thank you.</p>

<p>Tour was "OK" the guide wasn't very knowledgeable and we missed part of the museum</p>

<p>The tour was great. We had a rough time getting started as our driver was 1 hour late to pick us up.</p>

<p>This is a wonderful tour !! Enjoyed every minute of it. The saying goes you learn something NEW every day so take this tour and start learning now.. Thank you !!</p>

<p>To tell the truth, the historical homes tour wasn't a tour at all. It was a self-guided tour of the history museum which included two of the homes and then a separate drive to the Margaret Mitchell residence. The description led me to believe that this was a guided tour emphasis on guided of three distinctive homes of southern roots. But the tour was merely a drive service to the history museum and the Margaret Mitchell house. There was no guided, it was self-guided. This tour was definitely not worth the money we paid, in actual it was double the price if we would have just done the exhibits separately. I am extremely disappointed because I have used Viator before and had great experiences, this was not one of those times.</p>
