Client Feedback & Reviews
I've taken two deep dive tours with Explore Atlanta. Not only are the tours very informative, combining the rich history of Atlanta with up and coming development, but Steve is a wealth of knowledge and genuinely enjoys what he does. Both the SE and NE tour have helped me in my profession. I am able to pitch new business in up and coming neighborhoods. Highly recommend that you follow Explore Atlanta and hop on some of their deep dive and unconventional tours. We also did a full moon walk on the Southside BeltLine that was a lot of fun. — Melissa K (commercial real estate professional)
Steve has been beating the drum about how Microsoft's and now Google's recent large expansions in the ATL metro area are cementing the city as the primary tech hub of the southeast US. Read the article below to find out what is happening in Atlanta. If you are a local, I highly encourage you to go on one of Steve's tours; they are incredible. — Scott E. (March 2021)

Hello again Steve, my son sent me your tour follow-up link. Many thanks for sharing your wonderful Atlanta photos, links and YouTube videos. They're great, but, of course, seeing the sites in person was even better. Your love and knowledge of Atlanta is evident, and your tour was a very worthwhile 3 hours. Best wishes, ATL Sherpa! — Anne B |

"Steve is great — so knowledgeable, kind, easy to be with, and FULL of fun little tidbits. Not only can he fill you in on the big picture of what is currently happening in the city, but he also deeply appreciates the history of the city and how it has grown into the Atlanta of 2019. I learned SO much from Steve! As an Atlanta native, Realtor, and Historian, I must stay abreast of the happenings in Atlanta as it affects the market. Steve makes sure that I stay well informed so that my clients can benefit. He is a wealth of information. Whether you're a local who seeks a deeper level of understanding or a traveler who wants to become acquainted with the rich history of the city AND the cool fun things to do, Steve is your man!" — Leah M, Real Estate Professional
"I am a native Atlantan and I have gone on several tours with Steve over the last two years. I have taken my daughters who are 8 and 11 and we all loved every tour. I learned things about Atlanta that I never knew. My kids were fascinated by the history they learned and they loved the active nature of the tours. Steve is truly passionate about Atlanta and the BeltLine in particular. You will learn much about the city, get some exercise while exploring and usually it ends with a lovely picnic or lunch in a great restaurant. Do not pass by the chance to go on one of his tours!!" — Sherri D, Tour Guest / Real Estate Investor |

"Steve is the consummate professional! Always totally prepared and a flawless speaker. I have been on several of his tours (walking and coach) he is an encyclopedia of knowledge about Atlanta, past, present and future. If you ever have an opportunity, especially if you are interested in the Beltline or Atlanta's growth, Steve Saenz is your go-to guide." — Julie A, Tour Guest & Real Estate Professional
"Last August, I attended the first real estate tour conducted by Steve Saenz. The tour covered the west side of Atlanta concentrating on Subareas 9,10, and 1 of the Beltline. I gained valuable knowledge of several neighborhoods which were of interest to me. Over the last year and a half I have enjoyed numerous walking and bus tours presented by Steve including walking tours of the ten Beltline subareas plus other in-town neighborhoods. While Atlanta and its suburbs have been home to me my entire life, Steve has taught me more than I had previously known. He has an amazing knowledge of all of Atlanta's neighborhoods." — Jack G, Real Estate Investor
"I hired Steve to do a private tour with 30 of our clients. He was better than I could have ever expected. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the neighborhoods is unmatched. This will be something we continue to do for our investors and clients. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn about the Beltline and what is being developed in those areas! Thank you Steve!" — Mitch Z, Real Estate Professional
"Steve was our host for a bus tour of the up and coming Westside Beltline in Atlanta. All I can say is WOW! This bus tour was a blast! Steve is very well informed on the historical aspect of Atlanta and all new things to come. This was my second tour with Steve. I would highly recommend any of his tours!" — Tammy S, Private Tour Client |

"The driving tour was an incredible value. If you are a real estate investor, looking to buy a home in the area, or just want to learn more about the BeltLine you must go on this tour! The insights I gained from Steve's tour are easily worth thousands of dollars - plus he gave us lunch!" — Scott E, Real Estate Investor
"This was the third time I have done a tour with Steve. His knowledge of the Atlanta BeltLine always amazes me. I have learned so much about so many small neighborhoods in the City of Atlanta as a result of taking his tours. As a real estate agent I will continue to take Steve's tours to keep abreast of what's coming in the city of Atlanta as it pertains to different developments. Thank you Steve." — Liz M, Real Estate Professional
"I booked this tour at the last minute because I'm in the process of purchasing some Beltine property and couldn't find the information I needed. This tour answered all my questions and more. The guide is very knowledgeable about what is happening with the Beltline plans and was able to take us to the physical locations and provide an insider perspective. I enjoyed every moment of it and made lots of connections. I highly recommend this tour!" — Charmaine W, Real Estate Investor
"Urban Explorers of Atlanta has brought out what I have been looking for in where I live. Activities, exercise and socializing are all covered by this social group and you have an endless amount of things you can participate in several nights a week. The connections I have made and the knowledge I have gained from this group are priceless. Urban Explorers has truly made me happy to be in a city I beforehand felt I was settling for." — Andrew D, Real Estate Professional
"I highly recommend taking a walking tour with Steve and ExploreATL tours. I'm an Atlanta local and REALTOR but am always looking to learn more about the city and development that is springing up. Took the Envisioning EastSide BeltLine tour and it was awesome. Steve is a wealth of knowledge - development, history, and of course beer and food!" — Real Estate Professional
"This incredible walking tour traces the now-urban locations of the Battle of Atlanta, and Steve Saenz is a fountain of knowledge about the history, development, and current state of these sites and the strategic progression of the battle." — Carol M, Tour Guest
