Book a Group Tour

As Atlanta’s oldest cultural site, Historic Oakland Cemetery offers a window into the city’s rich and fascinating history. Oakland is the final resting place for more than 70,000 souls, including many Atlanta founders and noted citizens of Georgia. A visit to this Victorian garden cemetery provides opportunities to start a dialogue about the historic past.

Treat your group to a private guided tour of the cemetery. For groups under 10 people, daily tour tickets are available.

Group Size
There is minimum number of 10 people for group tours (with the exception of golf cart tours), but tour groups are limited to 25 people. If a group has more than 25 people, we recommend that the group split up between multiple guides. There is no additional charge for multiple guides.

Tour Fees
Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students and seniors (65+). Private tour groups must pay a $60 deposit to reserve the tour. The balance must be paid in advance of the tour. Small tour groups (total ticket amount is less than $60) will not owe a balance, and the deposit will cover the cost of the tour. You will receive a link for the deposit and tour payment via email.

Tour Length
90 minutes

Golf Cart Tours
Golf carts are available to groups of eight or fewer people. Explore areas of Oakland not usually visited during regular walking tours with your personal tour guide. There is a flat tour fee of $60 and golf cart tours are only available Monday through Friday. Any golf cart request must be made when reserving a tour.

Scheduling 
Group tours must begin no earlier than 10 a.m. and must conclude by 5 p.m.

Please note that tours should be scheduled at least two weeks prior to your desired tour date. We cannot guarantee booking for requests submitted less than two weeks from your desired date. Requests submitted with less than 72-hours notice will not be scheduled. Tour availability during the spring and fall may be limited due to high demand. 

Inclement Weather
Tours will take place in light rain or shine. In cases of heavy rain, inclement weather, or unsafe conditions, staff will contact groups to reschedule the tour for a later date. Tour groups can also request to reschedule the tour.
