It was Informative. Visit...

Margie_G, Sep 2025

It was Informative. Visit to Jimmy Carter Center and MLK Center was great, just needed a little more time at both. Lots of driving past places but not knowing exactly what we were seeing. Guide had lots of knowledge.

Thank you for touring with Peachy Keen Tourism, we appreciate you.

A must see event

Andre_S, Aug 2025

It was an incredible and definitely a memorable trip. The tour guide was so warm and patient with me. Her knowledge in great details was the best. I have been with other tour guides before and this one needs to be placed at the top. I enjoyed the service that she provided and I look forward to returning. Thank you so much

Peachy Keen Tourism Travel, thank you for spending your day with us, we appreciate you.

Disappointed

Cynthia_H, Jul 2025

Reservation/pymt process, of course, was easy. However, arrived at the site before 2pm Reservation, saw no indication of where/with whom/type of vehicle to meet. Neither tour booth/Westin staff could provide info. Walked around 10min but found nothing & received no text/call till later in the day saying we were no shows. Sent response about issue asking for explanation/refund - tour operator Peachy Keen has yet to respond. That's a lot of money to lose and that won't happen again.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

This group was a no show, Tour Escort waited for group to appear but they never showed up. How can you give a review when you failed to appear or call?

Excellent

Shelly was an amazing tour guide, we were lucky we were the only ones on the trip and she customised the tour so we could see the Carter Museum and the Herndon home. Really recommend - a must do in Atlanta to learn about the history.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for touring the city of Atlanta with Peachy Keen Tourism Travel Unlimited. We try to educate and enlightened guests about Atlanta rich history. .

Was not worth the money.

Brinsen_W, Aug 2023

The van was having engine problems and the air conditioning barely worked. My dad is an Atlanta native and probably knew more about the history than the tour guide.
