The only thing better than a tea party with kids is a moving tea party through the streets of Atlanta! Tea Around Town Atlanta is a tour bus with a twist...as groups make their way through downtown Atlanta, they are treated to a delicious tea party, dainty decor, singing tour guides, and fun sights. You won't mind Atlanta traffic aboard this mobile tea party! With two daughters of my own, of course we had to ride Tea Around Town Atlanta and experience the most demure, girly way to learn about the city. Grab your fascinator, keep pinkies up, and take a ride on the ultimate tea party!
