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.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for the review!
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.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for the review!
Chris was knowledgeable, gave me history that I did not know about Atlanta. And also knew about what was happening around Atlanta filming.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for the review! I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip
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!
I'm so glad you enjoyed your tour! I hope you had fun with your free day. Thanks for the review!
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!
Thank you for the review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour!
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.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for the review!
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

I'm so glad you enjoyed your tour! Thank you for the review!
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.
I'm so happy you enjoyed your tour! Thank you for leaving a review!
