Booking a biplane or helicopter tour is an extraordinary way to gain a new perspective on this southern destination. Guests who opt for a biplane tour will experience an open-cockpit flight high above the city skyline that’s both inspiring and thrilling. Stone Mountain and Lake Lanier are included on the viewing itinerary giving guests a bird’s eye view of some of the most beautiful landmarks Atlanta has to offer.
