When we launched our trolley tours in January 2024, we had one goal: showcase the heart and soul of Dunwoody to hoteliers, visitors, and locals. One year later, we're proud to announce that our monthly tours have evolved into something even more special. What started as three separate routes exploring Perimeter Center, The Village, and the Jett Ferry/Brook Run area has transformed into a comprehensive city-wide experience for 2025. Each tour brings together 25 participants—from hotel staff to longtime residents—proving that there's always something new to discover in Dunwoody.

 

Recap of Last Year

Throughout 2024, our trolley tours welcomed over 300 participants and partnered with more than 20 local businesses to showcase Dunwoody's diverse offerings. Each month brought unique experiences, from wine tastings at Vino Venue to behind-the-scenes peeks at E. 48th Street Market's authentic Italian market. Our three distinct routes—Perimeter Center, The Village, and Jett Ferry/Brook Run—gave guests comprehensive insights into Dunwoody's development, history, and culture.

 

The tours proved especially valuable for hotel staff, who gained firsthand knowledge to share with their guests, while longtime residents discovered hidden gems in their own backyard. Most notably, several partnerships formed among participating businesses, creating lasting connections that continue to strengthen our local business community. Don't just take our word for it – here's what recent tour-goer Courtney had to say:

"If you have the opportunity to take this trolley tour, don't hesitate-jump on and have a blast! I've been living here for 2 years and it was wonderful learning more about my community, being introduced to local businesses I may have not experienced on my own, and having the opportunity to win fun prizes throughout the tour. It is such a fun time and you get to immediately start sharing your new knowledge with your friends and family. My friends and family are so impressed that I can suggest great neighborhood locations and businesses that fit their needs."

What's New in 2025?

We're taking the best elements of our 2024 tours and making them bigger, better, and more interactive. Every tour now covers the entire city, with rotating vendors and experiences that keep each monthly adventure fresh and exciting. Picture yourself sampling margs, then heading to Puttshack for some high-tech mini-golf fun. Or start with a perfectly crafted sample at Summit Coffee before exploring the historic Donaldson Bannister Farms.
