Exceptional! - Excellent! Whether you know a lot or a little about Margaret Mitchell, you will love this tour. Our guide told us about Margaret Mitchell, post and pre book writing.

Gone with the Wind Fans, don't miss this! - We had a phenomenal time with Julio of Atlanta Dtours on this tour. He picked us up from our hotel and served as a personal guide throughout Atlanta. Visiting Margaret Mitchell's apartment, home and gravestone was really incredible, but the best part was a stop at the library where we got to see her actual typewriter, first editions of Gone with the Wind as well as actual scripts from the screenplay. To see "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!" on the page was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed spending time with Julio, including learning about the vibrant arts culture in Atlanta. Don't miss this!

Amazing Experience - We loved the tour experience. We learned a lot about Margret Mitchell and got to visit her home where she wrote the book Gone with the Wind. Went to the Library where her typewriter is displayed there with some other items of hers. We passed by the neighborhood she grew up at and stopped to look at the last house she lived at. We got to visit the Oakland Cemetery where she is buried at. It was amazing to be able to do this as private tour.

A laid-back day - The city of Atlanta, by Margaret Mitchell, the author of The Wind Walked, is now a museum, a home where she lived and wrote her famous novel. Almost all of his stuff is well-preserved, and the desk and print on it are history. We’re sitting on one of their living room couches, listening to an agent’s quirky information about Mrs. Mitchell and her novel, and answering questions. In another building in the garden, a video of the film, footage of the movie’s premiere night in Atlanta, pictures of the actors Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh on the walls, and scenes from the film make us nostalgic.
