Informative tour with history - Fun cemetery tour. This was informative and not a cheesy ghost tour; it's a real cemetery tour. We saw graves dating back to the civil war and way earlier, giving us some history of the city from many eras all in one place.

Gotta Try It! - Paris was a wonderful guide and storyteller. Her ability to describe not only the facts of the time but also what type of emotions were happening in Atlanta during the beginning of our country was great. The Cemetery part of the tour was also super informative and the food was delicious.

Great way to learn about Atlanta - Food was very good. The way it was structured respected the heat, didn't keep you in the sun too long. Really personable guide. History was a good overview that started in Native American times and forward into present day.
