There Is A Group Tours Package Atlanta Visitors Can Tailor To Their Needs

By James Collins


If you're planning a vacation down South with friends, or will just be here a few days for business with colleagues, you should spend some time exploring Georgia's capital. There are great restaurants, world class entertainment, a great zoo and aquarium, and plenty of historical attractions to visit. Depending on your interests, there's a group tours package Atlanta's tourist bureau can recommend.

When you are just passing through, you can take a One Day in Atlanta excursion. You start off in the morning visiting the Georgia Aquarium before moving on to Centennial Park. This was the main gathering spot during the 1996 Olympics. After lunch you will go through the World of Coca-Cola and spend time at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site.

Taking the Must See tours is a great option for those who have never visited this city before. You will see the World of Coca-Cola and Olympic Park. You may lunch at the revolving Sundial Restaurant which sits at the top of the tallest hotel in the western hemisphere. Inside CNN Atlanta shows visitors how news broadcasts come together. You'll also get a chance to see how they work those weather maps.

Civil Rights & Beyond is a great package for everybody, but especially those with an interest in African-American history. It begins in the capital's Sweet Auburn District with a visit to Martin Luther King Jr.'s childhood home. You can walk over to Ebenezer Baptist Church to see where Reverend King preached. Later you'll visit the Museum of Fine Arts at Spellman College. Hammond House Galleries is also on the agenda. Supper at Paschal's Restaurant at Castleberry Hill will round out the day.

If you are touring Georgia landmarks, you must check out the Gone With the Wind tours. These excursions include the Margaret Mitchell home with its museum of movie artifacts including the front door of Tara, the childhood home of Scarlett O'Hara. The Civil War Battle of Atlanta is depicted in one of the best cycloramas in the country. You may travel a short distance south to visit the 1839 plantation, Stately Oaks.

For family groups there are special tours designed to keep the kids interested while learning something at the same time. The Georgia Aquarium is first on the agenda followed by a visit to a kid favorite, The World of Coca-Cola. You will enjoy a lunch of bison burgers at Ted's Montana Grill. In the afternoon you take a trip to CNN if you have older children or check out the Children's Museum for the younger ones.

Not everybody is interested in organized tours. For those who want to set their own agenda, there's the CityPASS. With this you can get substantial discounts at the city's most popular attractions. That includes the aquarium, the zoo, CNN, the museum of natural history, and the College Football Hall of Fame.

Georgia's capital is a vibrant, exciting metropolis. It is a center of culture, diversity, and history. Touring the city is exciting, fun, and thought provoking.
