Our tour guide made the difference!! He was really good! Only disappointment was that it took a very long time to go from the first floor to the summit

Our tour guide Sheldon was knowledgeable, professional and extremely personable. He had dates, details and factoids for the sights seen from the tower and neighborhoods surrounding it. We moved quickly through security and lines and had great spots for viewing and listening. An excellent experience and a fantastic guide. Highly recommended for a family to help orient yourself to the city for the rest of your trip.Pam B

Poorly organized. Difficult to find tour operators with one orange hat and a very small yellow flag with Experience First in small letters. Spent a very long time in lines waiting for our Guide to buy our tickets. Felt we had already bought them online.

We waited on line for one hour to get access to the tower and I really want to commend our tour guide George "from Georgia". He made such a great effort in "entertaining" us and getting to know each member of the group that by the time we reached the box office we knew something about our group ...
We waited on line for one hour to get access to the tower and I really want to commend our tour guide George "from Georgia". He made such a great effort in "entertaining" us and getting to know each member of the group that by the time we reached the box office we knew something about our group members. His quiz was hilarious and we had a great time before we even started going up. Once we access to the second floor he took the time to share very interesting facts about the tower. George is very knowledgeable, funny and witty, so ask for him when you book this tour! Thanks GG! Remember we are going to Georgia for your wedding ;) The only dissapointing part was that we couldn't get to the summit as it was closed, but other than that it was an experience worth the price paid for it.
