Whether
you’re visiting Atlanta for the very first time or a local looking to
rediscover your favorite neighborhoods, ATL
Cruzers is a must-try! Filled with city trivia and hidden neighborhood
hotspots, this intimate and eco-friendly tour covers a 14-mile loop of Downtown
and Midtown. Groups are limited to 5 people per car, ensuring an interactive
experience that offers a unique perspective of Atlanta’s gorgeous architecture.
Originally
intended as an eco-friendly, Downtown Atlanta taxi service, owner Stephen
Chester purchased the GEM e6®
shuttles a few years ago. After getting rave reviews about his eclectic
knowledge of the city and charming personality, Chester created ATL
Cruzers - Atlanta’s first eco-friendly shuttle tours. The cars which
operate on an all-electric, 72-volt battery, feature cushy seats, safety belts
and retractable
plastic curtains to keep rainy, chilly weather at bay.
Each 1
hour and 15 minute ATL Cruzers tour packs a punch,
highlighting more than 15 of Atlanta’s top attractions. Beginning at Underground
Atlanta with the quick story of how Atlanta got its name, the tour then
cruises through the historic neighborhoods of Sweet Auburn and
Inman Park. Next you’ll head to Midtown for a curb-side view of
the Fabulous Fox Theatre, the Margaret
Mitchell House and Woodruff Arts Center. After cruising through Piedmont
Park, you’ll by the Georgia Tech Football Stadium before visiting Centennial
Olympic Park and the Ring of Attractions – the Georgia
Aquarium, the World of
Coca-Cola and the CNN Center. All along the tour loop, the guides will share trivia and fun factoids, as well as point out great hotspots for evening entertainment.
Each family-friendly
tour is just $25 per person and $10 for kids 8-12 years old. During the cooler
months, tours are available at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Reservations
are suggested to ensure your group can cruise together.
Insider info: While it’s not a “hop on/hop off”
excursion, you can opt to end your tour at the Ring of Attractions. For an
additional fee, your tour guide will pick you up and drop you off from your
Downtown hotel.
