We'll also talk about some of the drivers of Atlanta's current boom. After this tour you'll have a good idea of where Atlanta came from and where it's headed.

Excellent Atlanta guide and tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

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.

a funky fresh way to experience atlanta!

Published on Jan, 2025

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!

ATL, yo!

Published on Jan, 2025

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.

Friends From Out of Town

Published on Jan, 2025

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!

Great time in the A

Published on Dec, 2024

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!
