About this activity

Explore Atlanta’s rich history and vibrant culture through the lens of its most iconic homes on this beautifully curated city tour. Our first stop is the Georgia Governor’s Mansion, where guests step inside for a guided tour and learn about its architecture and historical significance. Public tours are available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. On Fridays and Saturdays, the experience shifts to the celebrated Margaret Mitchell House, home of the author of Gone With the Wind. The journey continues with an exterior viewing only of the elegant Swan House mansion, one of Atlanta’s most photographed landmarks. We then pause for a classic Southern Ladies lunch at the charming Swan Coach House, a beloved local institution (lunch cost not included). Afterward, we make our way to Midtown to explore historic Ansley Park, a beautifully preserved neighborhood developed in the early 1900s with picturesque homes. The tour concludes at the original pick‑up point.
