About Us

Founded by lovers of vintage finds and slow living, Vintage Adventures was created to celebrate the stories behind the storefronts — the people, history, and craftsmanship that make each stop special. Whether you’re hunting for the perfect retro lamp, hand-blended herbal teas, or simply craving a scenic day out with good company, our tours offer a fresh way to explore and connect with our community.

  • Local and family-owned
  • Family-friendly, and full of unique, unforgettable fun!
  • One-of-a-kind shuttle tours through the charming towns of Ellijay, Blue Ridge, and beyond.

But what truly makes Vintage Adventures special is the team behind the scenes — a family passionate about sharing the best of North Georgia with every guest.

    Gina Boone made Ellijay, GA her home in 2021 after falling for its mountain views, small-town charm, and relaxed pace of life. Her love for thrifting and antique shopping in the area sparked an idea — to help others explore North Georgia’s hidden gems, scenic spots, and local treasures through curated shuttle tours. Inspired by the region’s beauty and character, she turned that passion into a business built around adventure, nostalgia, and discovery.

A nostalgic soul, Gina has a deep love for all things 1980s — especially the music, which she proudly claims was the best era ever. She’s an avid collector of vintage pop culture memorabilia and has an impressive Superman collection.

She’s also a proud mom to three grown kids who are off living their best lives in North Carolina and Florida, and stays on her toes thanks to Libby, her energetic and mischievous cavapoo.

Gina is happily married to Randy Boone, co-founder of the business and everyone's favorite handsome driver.

    Meet Randy Boone

    A Texas native, Randy grew up with wide-open spaces, small-town values, and a love of good barbecue. After an anniversary trip to Ellijay, GA, he and his wife Gina fell for the area’s mountain beauty and welcoming community — and soon made it home.

    As co-founder of Vintage Adventures, Randy brings a relaxed, friendly spirit and a passion for the open road. When he’s not leading tours, you’ll find him perfecting his brisket and chili or hunting for treasures like old tin signs and Americana collectibles (still on the lookout for that stuffed armadillo).

    Randy looks forward to sharing his love of North Georgia — one backroad and story at a time.
