Itinerary
Guests will ride through the beautiful grounds of this Victorian Garden Cemetery while learning about it's history and current day culture.
Explore "ground zero" of the graffiti art scene of Atlanta at this ever changing tunnel connecting three historic neighborhoods. Guests will learn quickly why this is one of the instagramable spots in Atlanta.
Roll along this multi-use path discovering commissioned and "rogue" art installed along the way; check out the Old Fourth Ward Skate Park, TinyDoorsATL; enjoy street performers, murals and graffiti art under the Freedom Parkway Bridge.
Step back in time while rolling through Atlanta's first planned community. Tree lined streets feature beautiful Queen Anne Victorian homes built in the late 1800's. Learn about the "movers and shakers" that built our city and the fight to keep this neighborhood from being destroyed by an interstate in the 1970's.
Grab your cameras for this instagramable shot on the city skyline! For Walking Dead fans, this will be very familiar as it is the opening scene where Rick is riding into the city of the Zombie breakout while everyone else is getting the hell out of town! This is one of the photographed spots in Atlanta.
Guests will be introduced to the MLK Jr. National Historic site. We provide a thorough overview of the park and encourage all of our guests to return to the area to visit the birth home, burial site, historic Ebenezer Church and the King Center for Non-Violence Change.

I took my family on this tour last Sunday and wow it was so much fun! Robyn was there bright and early to get the bikes ready. She was very considerate of our comfort and made sure the bike seats were the perfect height. She was so friendly and lovely to chat with, it was like being with a friend. She packed us snacks and water and was so prepared. Tim was our guide and was very entertaining, especially for our 10 year old daughter. He was very patient when she needed extra time for a water break and made sure her safety came first, which was huge for me. He was so knowledgeable about historical places around Atlanta and was well known in the neighborhoods. We saw so many places like Martin Luther King Jr's memorial and final resting place with Coretta Scott King, Ebenezer Baptist Church where MLK jr was a minister that had a lovely rose garden dedicated to him, Jackson Street Bridge featuring a tiny door, and a ride around the beltline with cool shops and restaurants. As someone new to the area this was a great way to explore Atlanta and find new things to do. My family and I absolutely loved our tour and we'll definitely be doing another one soon!
This was a fun & informative way to get introduced to some Atlanta history & neighborhoods that we would otherwise not have experienced on our first time visit to Atlanta. Both of the guides - Robyn & Troy - were enthusiastic, passionate, & attentive. Tip: 4 out of the 5 individuals in our group had reserved “pedal assist” bikes which we booked directly through the company website. They cost a little more (~ $25); however, we all thought it was well worth it. The 5th person would have liked to also have had a “pedal assist” but booked through a separate travel app where it wasn’t quite as obvious that was an option. Hydration is important when exercising in heat & humidity; and the guides were great about providing water at the beginning & along the way of our tour.
Wow! What an incredibly thoughtful review! Thank you so much for taking the time to share not only your experience, but also such helpful advice for future guests. And thank you for encouraging travelers to book directly with us! It can be confusing when searching for tours in a new city, and booking directly with the tour operator often makes it easier to understand all the options available. Just as importantly, it directly supports the small, local businesses that create and operate these experiences. We truly appreciate you pointing that out! Troy and I had such a great time with your group. One of the things we loved most was watching everyone connect with one another along the way. It was just a really fun morning! I'm genuinely blown away by the care you put into this review. Thank you for riding with us, supporting our small business, and helping future guests know what to expect. We hope we'll get to ride with you again! BIKE ON! Robyn Chief Happiness Officer
We weren't sure what to expect but the bike tour was fantastic. We used ebikes since it was August and already hot. The tour was very interesting with so much information and we felt safe riding along the streets of Atlanta. I would defiantly recommend this tour if visiting (or living near by but don't get to the city often). Robyn was an excellent tour guide. We usually stopped in shaded areas so even though it was hot out we didn't really feel it.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I'm thrilled that you decided to give the bike tour a try—and that the e-bikes and our shady stops helped make an August ride in Atlanta so enjoyable! It was such a pleasure sharing the city with you. We work hard to make sure our guests feel comfortable and safe while discovering the stories and neighborhoods that make Atlanta so special. And I especially appreciate you mentioning that this is a great experience for locals, too. There is always something new to discover in Atlanta, even when you've lived nearby for years! Thank you again for riding with us and for recommending Bicycle Tours of Atlanta. BIKE ON! Robyn
Robyn and Troy were brilliant guides. They showed me a side of Atlanta I would never have seen without them. Being in Atlanta solo for work has shown me places I can explore on my own. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for these kind words! We had such a great time with everyone yesterday. I'm especially glad you were able to join us and felt right at home as a solo rider. One of my favorite things about these tours is watching a group of strangers come together and, by the end, leave feeling connected, entertained, and like they've shared something special. Troy and I are so grateful for the opportunity to showcase the city we both love so much! I hope we'll get to see you again before your Atlanta project comes to an end. I'm adding our Civil Rights Tour to the schedule, and I would love for you to join us! BIKE ON! Robyn
We enjoyed our tour with Tim. He shared many insights about the special people and places that contribute to Atlanta’s uniqueness.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Tim has a wonderful way of bringing Atlanta’s people, places, and stories to life, and we're so glad you enjoyed exploring the city with him. We truly appreciate you choosing Bicycle Tours of Atlanta and taking the time to leave us a kind review. BIKE ON! Robyn
Had a fabulous morning with my very knowledgeable guide James. Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore Atlanta.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're delighted you had such a fabulous morning exploring Atlanta with James. His knowledge and love for the city make him a fantastic guide, and we’re lucky to have him on our team. Thank you for riding with us and for the recommendation! BIKE ON! Robyn
Fantastic experience with our guides James and Paul. We loved seeing the city as cyclists. We took the tour before our 6 hour car ride home and it was the perfect ending to our road trip. Safety and comfort were great. Bikes were ready for us and James made sure we were set up for a successful and safe ride--even our 11 to 14 year old kids!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled that James and Paul helped make your final day in Atlanta such a memorable one. We loved meeting your family and especially loved the true "road trip" vibe your family brought to the tour! James and Paul will be delighted to know their efforts helped everyone—including your 11- to 14-year-olds—feel confident and have fun. Thank you again for choosing Bicycle Tours of Atlanta. We hope your family has many great adventures ahead, and we'd love to welcome you back the next time your travels bring you to Atlanta! BIKE ON! Robyn Chief Happiness Officer
My mom and I had a wonderful ride and tour of Atlanta with James. He did an excellent job of making sure we were comfortable and safe. He was very knowledgeable about the city and it's history, which we enjoyed since we have lived here for more than 40 years. We learned and saw a lot of cool stuff.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We especially love hearing from longtime Atlantans who discover something new about their own city. We're so glad you and your mom had such a great experience with James. Making sure our guests feel comfortable and safe is incredibly important to us, and James does a fantastic job of combining that care with his knowledge of Atlanta and its history. After more than 40 years in Atlanta, learning and seeing some new “cool stuff” is quite a compliment! Thank you for spending the day with us! BIKE ON! Robyn
My 10-year-old daughter and I were looking for something unique and fun to do and this was it! James and Tony did a great job of showing us a beautiful view of Atlanta while keeping us safe. Robin was great about communicating beforehand and help me figure out where to park. Everything about the tour was wonderful and smooth. If you like to ride bikes, and you want to have some fun, definitely book this tour!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We love hearing that you and your daughter were looking for something unique to do together and found it with us. James and Tony are terrific guides, and keeping our guests comfortable and safe while showing them a side of Atlanta they might not otherwise experience is always our goal. I'm also glad I could make the logistics easy for you before the tour. From figuring out where to park to the final pedal, we want the whole experience to feel fun and effortless. Thank you for trusting us with such a special mother-daughter adventure and for recommending us to others! BIKE ON! Robyn
We're from out of town but have visited Atlanta often. This bike tour gave us a whole new perspective on the city: the history, neighborhoods, architecture, urban design and more. We loved it! Monica, our tour guide, was informative and a lovely host. We highly recommend this bike tour as a fun way to spend a morning and soak up Atlanta from the ground level.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We especially love hearing from guests who have visited Atlanta many times but still discover a whole new side of the city with us. Exploring Atlanta from the seat of a bike gives you such a unique perspective on its history, neighborhoods, architecture, and the many layers that make this city so fascinating. We're delighted Monica made the experience both informative and welcoming—she's a wonderful ambassador for Atlanta! Thank you for riding with us and for the enthusiastic recommendation. We hope you'll join us again on a future visit! BIKE ON! Robyn
