Chris was born to be Atlanta’s ambassador to street art and the city’s vast history. His enthusiasm for the city shows at every turn as he drives you through neighborhoods most tourists don’t explore. He is very knowledgeable across a wide range of topics, including entertainment and civil rights history and the current and fantastic street art scene. Best city tour I’ve ever been on.

Chris is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Atlanta's history. I liked learning more about Margaret Mitchell and stopping by the MLK, Jr. National Park site. The diverse neighborhoods of Atlanta were interesting.
We thoroughly enjoyed our town tour with Chris. My wife and I were the only participants; a far more pleasurable experience than being in a large group in a trolley/bus. Chris was personable and full of information about the various areas of the city; we saw and learned a lot.
Chris was knowledgeable, gave me history that I did not know about Atlanta. And also knew about what was happening around Atlanta filming.
We had a great tour! We are 1st time visitors to Atlanta & Chris is a local expert. He is full of interesting & fun facts. He customized our afternoon by asking us what we were most interested in, and also gave us some suggestions of things worth doing with our free day tomorrow. It was a great overview of the city, its neighborhoods, and its history as well as its future. 10/10!
Our tour guide was very personable and enthusiastic. He made us feel welcomed and really customized the experience for us. I’ve lived in Atlanta since 2000 and I learned so much! I’d highly recommend Terminus for out of town visitors or long-time residents!
Chris is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us parts of Atlanta we had not seen before. He aso provided some excellent restaurant recommendations. Would tour with him again.
Visiting with my mom. Although I have been to Atlanta numerous times, I had never taken a tour. Chris was great and I revisited parts of town that I had been before but learned about new neighborhoods and about the history of Atlanta. My mom also really enjoyed. We highly recommend.
This tour was so much fun. I live outside of Atlanta and spend plenty of time in the city but I’d never really had a chance to learn all the history. We also got to see lots of street art and learn about local artists in Atlanta. 10/10
Pleasant, comfortable, and informative tour. The guide is very knowledgeable about the city and its history.
Excellent, informative knowledgeable guide who loves the city of Atlanta. Our guide, Chris, structured our tour specifically for us and was able to accommodate an earlier time schedule for us. We were able to learn so much more about the city of Atlanta than we expected. Chris could fine tune his topics of discussion on the fly without missing a beat to answer our questions and our interests. Highly recommend.
chris is a good friend of mine, so i wanted to support his venture! the tour was fantastic! & if it wasn't, i would say so. i was stoked to hear all the facts he was ripping off during our with him! & being an artist, he had a lot of insight on some of the murals we saw too! it was genuinely a fun & informative way to see atlanta! just do it!
How fun was this! I live near Atlanta but had never explored the city or its history outside of the adolescent field trips. An out of town friend came for a visit and specifically wanted to see ATL. Chris made the tour a lot of fun and we learned so much. I really enjoyed the old neighborhoods. They don’t build homes like that anymore. Would totally recommend to anyone local or out of town if you’re looking for a bit of GA history.
We recently had friends in town and wanted to show them around Atlanta without the larger, more typical tourist spots. Our friends are also big history buffs so we were hoping to tap into that as well. Chris’s Then and Now Private History Tour turned out to be the perfect choice. Our friends absolutely loved it and we got to learn lots about our hometown. We especially enjoyed experiencing the character of the old neighborhoods and Oakland cemetery. Would highly recommend!
Well spoken. Extremely nice and knowledgeable. He really loves the city of Atlanta and his excitement about Atlanta’s growth and change is contagious. A+++ Thanks Chris! Go Braves!
We absolutely loved our tour! Chris was super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Also, I felt very safe and taken care of while on the tour. Highly recommend!
This is such a great way to feel you’ve really gotten to know Atlanta through its stories and people and places. Chris is knowledgeable and kind and his affection for the city really shows. It really felt like a friend showing us around his home. Chris also has great recommendations for activities, places to eat, other things to see etc. I recommend this tour!
Enjoyed the narrative and the personalization of the locals. The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and that made the narrative that much more vivid...very enjoyable.
Amazing tour, filled with fun facts, historical perspectives that made the tour more personalized. I felt transported to the location as they existed at the time. The guide made the locales seem alive in the present and at the same time gave an awesome presentation of why the events being discussed were relevant in today's time. Whenever we are in this area again, I plan to revisit this tour and enjoy it all over again...it is just that good.
This tour was really cool. Made me feel different about ATL. It’s a completely different place than we thought. We did the history tour but Chris showed us a lot more than that. The art we saw was unexpected and showed the artistic talent in the city. Thanks Chris!
My family enjoyed a great historic tour of Atlanta over Labor Day Weekend and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. The guide and weather were great and it was so nice to have a tour where you weren't just part of the masses. So much history and beautiful architecture throughout the city and some fun modern highlights as well. We hope to enjoy some more tours in the future!! Thank you so much for a great time!
Chris is amazing! I highly recommend this tour. I actually grew up in Atlanta but wanted to learn more about the history of the city and this tour did just that. We take tours like this around the world and this one was the best.
This tour was awesome and learned so much about the city. We really enjoyed it. Highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Chris!
We live outside the city and needed something to do with kids that was different than going to Coke or aquarium so we tried this… and we’re so glad we did! Kids and adults got a lot out of it and when kids started getting restless, Chris threw in some extra stuff to keep their attention. He knows and loves this city! You will walk away with an appreciation and excitement for the city. We’re going to take another one of Chris’ tours soon! I think we will try Movie & Film next… stay tuned!
This tour was really enjoyable. We especially liked seeing Inman Park and Cabbagetown! Our tour guide was Chris and he was very knowledgeable. We will definitely book another tour with him, next time we are there!
