Be awe-struck by awesome Atlanta
This is your not-to-be-missed bike tour of Atlanta’s cultural, historic, and environmental visions. It’s a unique ride into Atlanta’s dynamic, hip, and moving stories – revealed in the corners of its suburbs, the script of its murals, and the glory of its gardens. By tour-end, you’ll be awe-struck, moved, and totally in love with Atlanta.
Your guided bicycle tour begins on the Atlanta BeltLine, a natural oasis in Atlanta’s thriving cityscape, and its largest urban revitalization project. Ride along a cycle path lined with lush foliage to the leafy neighborhood of Inman Park, Atlanta’s first suburb, with its boutique outdoor dining spaces.
The Krog Tunnel is a story told with spray-cans – an edgy backdrop for your Instagram photos. You’ll ride past all colors of the rainbow in this urban art canvas linking Inman Park with Cabbagetown – a treat for the eyes and for the mind. Next, there’s the opportunity for a photo at the best free vantage point of downtown Atlanta. Fans of The Walking Dead will recognize this spot on Jackson Street Bridge as the iconic backdrop for the first season!
You’ll know you’ve cycled into Cabbagetown when the streets narrow and you see the double-height porches of the myriad 1800s mill cottages, delicately colored and nestling delicious eateries.
Marvel at the contrast of Atlanta as you glide into the Old Fourth Ward, a former industrial area now rejuvenated with trendy stores and dining opportunities, and the birthplace of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. The ward sets the scene for the final section of the day tour, promising to educate, move, and inspire. Oakland Cemetery, so named for the majestic oak and magnolia trees flourishing amongst the headstones, is the final resting place for over 70,000 Georgians and Atlanta’s oldest public park, offering 48 acres of remarkable gardens, sculptures, and architecture.
Finally, your bike tour enters the King Historic District, an area of landmarks, monuments and exhibits devoted to the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King Jr, including King’s birth home, the stunning International World Peace Rose Garden, 'Behold' monument, and the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church.

Great ride into Atlanta’s history, art and culture
· Highlights of Atlanta Bike Tour
Touring Atlanta by bike provides a really unique look at the city, including a lot of interesting areas I hadn't previously been familiar with, such as the Krog tunnel. I started to really appreciate the organic artwork that you see around Atlanta, especially by bike. Our guide was great and really knew Atlanta and its history well. I particularity enjoyed the Beltline. Plus Inman Park has some really beautiful homes and is capped off by L5P which is no doubt one of Atlanta's most interesting spots. The bikes were great and the riding was easy and fun. The length was about perfect.
