At the very beginning of the last summer holidays, my family and I planned on having this bus tour of the only day to go see the heart of north Georgia. By that time, we couldn’t find any competitive guided tours like this one, so we had to board and experience this tour. The bus drove us straight to the Anna Ruby Falls which was not that breathtaking but looks quite wonderful, then they drove us to the historical gold mine where we found our actual interests, and thanks to our bus guide person who told us so much about the history and culture of that specific region. In such a way, our day was completed and they drove us back to the departure location. Thanks for the great team!

Completely enjoyed the whole day. It was a blast for me. I love the stone mountain park most. It was a true blend of history and lots of fun-filled activities for all ages. Don't miss a laser show. I don't climb but other people were really enjoying. The best part was the park was very clean. The guide was informative and have a great knowledge of history. I will definitely come again with my 14 years son. Highly recommended.

Don’t know why I wasn’t much satisfied by this one-day bus tours, probably because we had few places to explore and visit, and the best one was that ruby falls in Georgia, the tour guide was a great person, who led the entire tour, and helped us to every bit. In case, we had more places like the gold mine and ruby falls, we could have had enjoyed more. However, all the guests on buses on board with us seemed to have such a great time, I think, the tour is great for families and friends who could just figure out by themselves that how they could enjoy and have a great time. The buses were just fine to travel and appreciate the kid services provided by the tour management.

The best tour and great adventure. We started our tour on time. we were 14 people. First, we explored gold mine. It was very informative and interesting experience. Hat-off to the people who are working there. The underground tour was amazing it was cool and risky too. The staff as very friendly there. Next stop was a Stone mountain park, full of activities and fun. The guide was very helpful and fulfilling our needs. I will recommend this tour for families.

I joined this tour with my wife. We found this trip more informative. The whole description of Dahlonega gold mine and the way how they uncover its deposits was an interesting thing and completely new for us. Tour guide seemed to a local and true researcher of mine secrets. Stone Park was also a beautiful place. I enjoyed this informative trip.

I booked this one day tour for my parents. They never experienced any bus tour before but they were happy at the end of the day. The bus was very comfortable and the team was caring. The tour guide took special care of them and provided her best. This tour was the best choice for knowledge seeker and history lover.

I joined this tour with my family last month. The weather was warm but not bad. There is a lot of walking and hiking but I enjoyed. My kids were not happy at gold mine but they enjoyed a lot in a stone mountain park.

I will recommend this trip to the people who enjoy informative trips. Destination lovers must not try this. I did not enjoy much because I found fewer places of my interest to visit. It can be good for different taste lovers but sadly not me. But I would definitely appreciate the effort of tour guide and bus service, they gave information and manage time wisely.

The best thing i loved about that tour was Dahlonega Consolidated Gold Mine, it was really amazing place as it is the largest hard rock gold mine in the east of Mississippi River. Also Ruby Falls was very beautiful, we also did some hiking, rock climbing in Stone Mountain State Park. The tour was really great and i wish it was more than just 1 day.
