What to expect

This walking tour of Atlanta begins at Centennial Olympic Park. Here, you'll revisit the 1996 Olympic Games and the shocking bombing which rocked the ceremonies and went unsolved for an entire year. From there, we’ll swing by the World of Coca-Cola, Atlanta’s most popular attraction. With all sorts of quirky exhibits on offer, plenty of history, and, of course, coke flavors from around the world, this funky museum is a must see.

After that, you’ll see the Georgia Aquarium, the largest aquarium in the United States. Ever wanted to see an enormous whale shark up close? Well, thanks to this aquarium’s staggering 10 million gallon tank, you can!

Continuing through downtown, you’ll hear about the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917. This astonishing blaze left a whopping ten percent of the city homeless, and if you know where to look, you can still find evidence of the fire.

If you want to get a birds-eye view of Atlanta’s gorgeous downtown, hop on board the SkyView ferris wheel next! As we keep walking through downtown, you’ll tune in to the city’s entertainment business, from Hollywood to hip-hop. Did you know tons of movies set in New York are actually filmed in Atlanta? Or that Childish Gambino is from Atlanta?

As we pass the APEX Museum, dedicated to Black history in Atlanta, we’ll turn back the clock to a time before the Civil Rights Movement, when half of Atlanta’s population wasn’t even allowed to vote. We’ll step into the Martin Luther King, Jr. Historical District and walk Auburn Ave, where King himself was born.

As we continue through this historic neighborhood, we’ll give you the whole story of King, from his formative years to his studies in the ministry and, finally, his world-changing activism. We’ll stop by the World Peace Rose Garden and a statue of Mahatma Gandhi. There, we’ll learn Gandhi’s importance to King and the Civil Rights Movement as a whole.

After we walk the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame, we’ll hear about King’s shocking assassination and his enduring legacy which is felt even to this day. Finally, we’ll visit the King Center, hear more about Coretta Scott King, and conclude our tour at the home of King’s birth.
