ATL Cruzers – the Go-To Tour of Atlanta’s History and Hotspots

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.
