It was worth the trip. Although I traveled solo everyone was so nice, the atmosphere was so peaceful, the entire expirience was amazing.
Angela_G, Aug 2026
The tour was beautiful and very informative! I loved having the option to hike up Stone Mountain and then enjoy scenery riding the cable car on the way down. We enjoyed it!

I found this event at the last minute. I was skeptical about it at first. I didn’t know what to expect. I am so glad that I secured my spot. I hated history growing up and could care less as an adult…until this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour from the time I got on the activity van to the time that I got off of the activity van. Durf is extremely knowledgeable. He kept me entertained and intrigued by both pre-historical, historical, and current events. I was never bored. I was in awe of how everything tied together, seeing a lot of places where movie scenes have been made, having exclusive access to a lot of historical sites, trails, mountains, and nature. I had a blast and I am so glad that Durf was the guide for this experience. Durf is so thoughtful of tourist, helpful, and makes learning history interesting. It was truly amazing. I had a euphoric day!

Our tour guide, Durf from Roundabout tours, was great and awesome! Would highly recommend this tour!

The tour guide was great very informative and a truth teller . I really like how history wasn't white washed. As a solo traveler black woman I felt safe no weird vibes.
Gena_N, May 2026
Great guide with good information. Nice van for transport. Saw things we might not have seen otherwise.
Vashti_J, May 2026
We got to see the amazing views of Stone Mountain I must say it was absolutely amazing you get to enjoy and see what nature has to offer and also get some knowledge about the history of the mountain.

I booked this 5 hr stone mountain bus tour $89.00 and was sent a confirmation saying arrive at 9:30 am for the bus tour with a link underneath the message saying get directions I got to ne Atlanta and it took me in a very bed neighborhood to a house. I tried several times to get a hold of someone and finally left for my hotel since there were homeless people all around me and I felt unsafe. I finally got ahold of someone from viator and explains what happened. I never did get a refund or was offered to go another day. The person from viator was scolding me and saying I should have read the address from the ticket. While I was on the phone with her I went again to the confirmation email with the get directions link and it took me to the same house I had arrived at earlier. Don't get ripped off. I dont even know if this tour exists.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry for the confusion and frustration you encountered while trying to locate the departure point.
For this tour, the meeting location is provided in the ticket and confirmation details, and the directions link is intended to guide guests to that designated location. We understand how stressful it can be to arrive somewhere unexpected, especially when traveling in an unfamiliar area.
We do operate this tour as scheduled, and we encourage guests to contact us directly before departure if they have any questions about the meeting point so we can assist promptly. We regret that this situation led to concern and disappointment.

Debora_G, Mar 2026
Great tour! Our guide provided us with a detailed history of the mountain, interesting tidbits about state politics and Y’allywood and bunch of restaurant recs. The day was overcast and breezy, but the view was still good. This tour is well worth the investment.
Susan_B, Mar 2026
Our guide, Durf, was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Georgia and happily shared this with our group. Lots of facts about the Stone Mountain. Durf also knows a lot about the movie business in Atlanta, which we all found fascinating.
Sheri_W, Mar 2026
This is a wonderful way to see ALL of Stone Mountain. It is a long tour (5 hours), but you'll see things you wouldn't have otherwise seen with an informative tour guide. Snacks & water provided, but definitely eat before hand. Plenty of stops to stretch your legs, take pictures and use the restroom.
Getting to the top of the mountain is worth it. Fantastic view!
Paul_C, Feb 2026
Jeff was kind, knowledgeable and seems to enjoy what he does. This was Exactly what I need to get understanding of stone mountain and the surrounding area.

Stone Mountain Tour – Atlanta, Georgia (October 12, 2025)
We had a fantastic experience on the Stone Mountain Tour with DURF! His deep knowledge of Atlanta and Stone Mountain’s history, combined with his humor and storytelling, made the day both educational and fun. We especially enjoyed the covered bridge, our walk around the island, exploring the quarry, and taking the trip to the top of Stone Mountain—DURF kept everyone engaged and made us appreciate the rich history and beauty of the area. Thank you, DURF, for such a memorable and enjoyable tour!
Althea_C, Oct 2025
It was great. The tour guide Gurf is kind and patient. He made the trip educational. Thank you for the snacks.
Paula_P, Sep 2025
The pick up location was great with lots of parking across the street from the most amazing Donut shop! Durf was a fabulous host/tour guide full of knowledge and fun fact stories! The time spent in Stone Mtn Park was wonderful and topped off by our tram ride to the top where we enjoyed the most beautiful views as we relaxed in the sunshine and light breezes!

There is so much more to Stone Mountain than the skyride. There is so much history attached to it. Omogbemi was very knowledgeable of the tour site and its surrounding area.
