VIDEO | Cherry Blossom tours of the town

Telegraph columnist Ed Grisamore will be giving daily tours around town again this year. The tours are similar to the Cherry Blossom Riding Tours that depart from Central City Park and wind their way through Macon's neighborhoods, giving visitors the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the city's beauty when the trees are in bloom. Grisamore has been the guide to a few of the Riding Tours, but prefers playing guide to out-of-town groups who come in with their own bus. That's what he'll be doing this week. In fact, this week he'll be guiding a tour for his very first tour guests again - a group from Fort Payne, Ala. They loved him so much, they're coming back to Macon this year, and they wanted him to be their guide again. Talking with him, I found he's had some great experiences on the tours and has a lot of information about the trees and Macon's history to share.

If you're interested in taking one of the daily Cherry Blossom Riding Tours, they're going on through Saturday. They depart from Central City Park at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. and they cost $10 per person. Riders should show up at least 15 minutes before the tours depart.
