$995*

Join Best Single Travel on a singles vacation through Atlanta’s history and heritage. Born a railroad stop and christened as a place that would never amount to anything. General Sherman didn't agree. He called it the citadel of the South and burned it. Margaret Mitchell didn't agree. She wrote a book about it. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't agree. He called it home. President Jimmy Carter didn't agree. He located his Library and Center for World Peace here. CNN's Ted Turner didn't agree. He founded his empire here.
Discover Atlanta ... from Civil War to Civil Rights to Coca Cola to the Centennial Olympic Games, and have fun along the way!

Atlanta Singles Getaway Vacation Daily Itinerary

Vacation Day 1 – Atlanta, Georgia

Arrive at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and make your way to the group's hotel, the Hampton Inn and Suites Atlanta Downtown. Take a taxi or shuttle or if you are very adventurous you might try the MARTA train to the Peachtree Center Station which is about three blocks from our hotel.

Tonight meet and greet with your local Atlanta tour leader and fellow single travelers then walk to a restaurant for a bite to eat.

Vacation Day 2 – Discover Atlanta

Today we see Atlanta with our knowledgable local guide. First we travel north for a drive through one of Atlanta's most prestigious neighborhoods - Buckhead. The Governor's Mansion is located here - and it is NOT the largest house on the block. Then sit back and relax on our whirlwind tour of the city.

See favorites like the gold-domed State Capitol and the grand old Fox Theater. Check out Atlantic Station, Atlanta's hot new 'city within the city'and travel with us to an earlier Atlanta with a visit to Inman Park with its beautifully restored Victorian architecture. We will pause at the Martin Luther King Historic District to visit his tombstone and museum, as well as the old Ebenezer Baptist Church and the National Parks Civil Rights building.

We'll take a look at Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta's best legacy from the 1996 Olympic Games. See the dancing waters of the Five Rings Fountain and the Commemorative Bricks. Learn the stories of the '96 Games and the Memorial Quilt Plazas. You can’t miss the Georgia Aquarium, the largest in the United States! The World of Coca Cola is right next door.

This afternoon we will take in the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca Cola at our leisure.

The Aquarium is home to over 100,000 animals living in more than eight million gallons of water. Don’t miss the star attractions - the whale sharks! The beluga whales and penguins are neat, too. Atlanta and Coca-Cola have grown up together. This is a fun tour that takes a look at the history of this southern born soft drink. Founded by Asa Candler in 1891 as a local headache remedy, today, Coke is sold in 160 countries around the world and consumed more than 448 million times a day. Get closer than ever before to the vault containing the Secret Formula. Be sure to stop by the tasting room for samples of Coke’s 60 international products. It’s the real thing!

When we have completed the tour of the World of Coca Cola we will have a short walk back to our hotel. Time to relax before you meet the group for dinner.

Vacation Day 3 – “Searching for Scarlett”. Is she gone with the wind?

We set the stage with a visit to the Cyclorama. Experience for yourself a day in that long ago Civil War Battle of Atlanta, July 22, 1864. Presented as a three-dimensional panorama with music and narration, this largest oil painting in the world captures the drama that took place in Atlanta during America's tragic Civil War.

Our next stop is The Margaret Mitchell House and Museum, this is the apartment where she lived with her husband when she wrote, Gone With The Wind. It will surprise you. Remember - this is the birthplace of THE BOOK that made possible the movie that premiered here in Atlanta in 1939, grossed $14 million the first year and received a record 10 Academy Awards. It all started right here on Peachtree Street in a tiny little apartment dubbed "The Dump" by a tiny little woman named Margaret Mitchell Upshaw Marsh.

After lunch experience Southern hospitality first hand at the Atlanta History Center. See the 1860’s Smith family farm and the 1928 Swan House with its 22 acres of beautiful gardens and trails. Then we depart for Marietta, and the “Gone With the Wind” museum.

The rustle of petticoats.

The smell of gunpowder.

Cotton fields and plantations.

Step back in time with the sights and sounds of Atlanta during the Civil War and Reconstruction as told through the eyes of Scarlett O'Hara and her dashing romancer, Rhett Butler. The Gone with the Wind Museum with its an extensive collection of memorabilia and Scarlett on the Square is sure to delight and intrigue any fan from novice to aficionado. We will choose from the many excellent eating places here where to have dinner

Vacation Day 4 – Atlanta At Leisure

Today is a free day to explore on your own and here are some options using your City Pass. Take the Inside CNN Studio Tour, and visit either the High Museum of Art or Fernbank Museum of Natural History. Or just explore downtown Atlanta, now that you know your way around.

A farewell dinner tonight is at Pitty Pat’s Porch, a short walk from our hotel. We may as well see what happened to one of Scarlett’s relatives. The story is told that when Scarlett visited Atlanta she always stayed with Aunt Pittypat. During those visits, Aunty Pitty would prepare only her best recipes. At Pittypat's Porch, the tradition continues...

Day 5 – Depart Atlanta

Today our singles getaway vacation comes to an end. Make your way to the airport in time for your homeward bound flight. Take with you lots of fond memories of your all too short time in Atlanta!

Day 3: Country Music Hall of Fame - Grand Ole Opry Behind Stage Tour - Opryland Resort
A vacation in Nashville would not be complete without visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Forming a bass clef when viewed from the air, the unique building is an iconic feature of the Nashville skyline. Rhinestone costumes, musical instruments, and tearstained lyric sheets are only the beginning, as the museum is home to the largest collection of country music artifacts in the world. Music lovers can mix and mingle over the exhibits found at the Museum. Sing Me Back Home is the title of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s permanent exhibit, a multi-layered journey through the life of Country music.

Across the street in Walk of Fame Park is where music celebrities who lived, worked and played in Nashville are commemorated with sidewalk stars.
Its about 1/2 hour drive to the Grand Ole Opry, where we will have free time for lunch before our Backstage Tour. Then we will join one of the insider tour guides for an exclusive backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry House and get an intimate look at the people, places and stories behind the show that made country music famous.

Boasting 50,000 tropical plants, rare international blooms and romantic Southern species, the horticultural displays are among the most exquisite in the world. Each of the gardens is housed under one of the hotel's soaring atriums, creating a series of breathtaking horticultural wonderlands.

History is all around, the Ernest Tubb Record Shop, at 417 Broadway, was the site of the second-longest running radio show in history, the Midnight Jamboree and still broadcasts on WSM Radio. Then take a self guided included tour of the Ryman Auditorium, one of the most active and celebrated venues in modern music. Experience inspiration at every turn with music history from vaudeville to blues, and country to rock; from surprising artifacts to one-of-a-kind exhibits and priceless memorabilia. 
Tonight's Farwell dinner is at Ole' Red. Ole Red is THE full country experience that will get your ass and your taste buds boot scootin’ with what they like to call 100-proof live music, scratch-made dishes, and signature drinks… all inspired by the boss man himself: Blake Shelton.
After dinner we head to Printers Alley, home of a nightclub district that dates back to the 1940s. Enjoy a wonderful meal before entering one of the many Blue and Jazz clubs in the Alley. The Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar, a New Orleans Themed Bar and the Skull's Rainbow Room Founded in 1948 and originally a striptease are definitely a must visit.
