According to Carla Morrison, the founder of Chit Chat Atlanta Tours, a Black woman-owned tourism company, the company will launch its first tours on Labor Day, Sept. 1.
The tours, which start at $75 per person, are expected to enlighten, entertain, and educate their guests. In addition to visiting commonly known landmarks of Black Atlanta, the tours will also make stops at lesser-known and equally important places, including the Black Music Walk of Fame.
“Our mission is to preserve legacy, educate all generations, and spotlight the rich culture of Atlanta’s Black community,” Morrison said in a release.
The Tour will take guests on Black History and Civil Rights Era tours, a tour of Sweet Auburn Avenue, the Atlanta University Center, a tour of Peachtree Street, and the Reality ATL Restaurant and ATL Remix tours.
The tours also offer private and custom packages.
Asked how it feels to get the business off the ground, Morrison said, “It feels absolutely heaven-sent. Chit Chat Atlanta Tours is truly a blessing that has been growing inside of me for years, and to see it finally come to life is both humbling and inspiring. “This journey feels like the fulfillment of a vision I’ve carried in my spirit for a long time.”
Atlanta is home to thousands of Black-owned small businesses.
“Being a Black woman-owned small business owner means resilience, representation, and responsibility,” Morrison said. “It’s about creating opportunities not just for myself, but for my community.”
