The route

Every stop, in order

Our most complete look at Atlanta's civil rights story and the people building the city now. Enjoy a 30-minute local lunch stop and a 15-minute souvenir shopping stop at a partnering local business.

Many stops are self-paced, and your guide narrates the history between them, so the ride is part of the tour too.
