We really enjoyed our tour with Greg. We not only learned the behind the scenes of Stanger Things, we also learned a ton about Atlanta, Georgia, and the film industry. He took his time at each stop and made the show come back to life for us.

Shannon_K, Mar 2026
Dana was our guide and she was fantastic! Drove us to many Stranger Things film locations and gave us lots of behind the scenes tid bits. Would absolutely recommend this for Stranger Things fans.

Dana was absolutely amazing. Fun and full of information about stranger things She spent a lot of time with us making sure our experience was fantastic. She was so much fun!!!

Amazing Tour for all Stranger Things Fans

Amber_H, Mar 2026
10/10 tour!! I highly recommend this private tour for all Stranger Things fans! Our tour guide, Dana was just fabulous! She took us to so many different location spots and was very knowledgeable about each location. She also gave us so many interesting facts about Atlanta history as we drove along. We would 100% book again and are in fact already discussing a return trip back to see all the things time didn’t allow!

You should do this tour in ATL

Bryan_W, Mar 2026
Francesca was amazing! It was so fun to see the real-life locations that were used to create the world of Hawkins and learn little details you would never notice just watching the show. The tour was well organized, the pacing was great, and there were plenty of opportunities to take photos at iconic filming spots. Even if you’re only a casual fan, it’s a fantastic way to explore parts of Atlanta and appreciate how much filming happens here. Highly recommend for anyone who loves the show, filmmaking, or unique local experiences!

The tour was great. Our tour guide, Dana, did an amazing job telling us about what goes on behind the scenes. She was also very considerate of our situation and helped us learn more about Atlanta. Would love to do something like this again.

Fun and educational!

Beyond what we expected!

Bruce_S, Feb 2026
This was beyond our expectations! Greg was a treasure trove of information and made the experience for us with a great vibe and sense of humor

Greg was a great tour...

Bradley_D, Feb 2026
Greg was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly and didnt waste anytime getting us from site to site. Kids loved it!

The perfect day - curated by Dana

keenbean, Jan 2026
We simply had the best time , Dana our guide, curated just the perfect day for us, the locations, the genuine love for ST (and all things 80's) bonded us to her immediately, and we had an absolute blast. We had previously done another ST tour which was great, which meant we wanted to cover other locations outside the perimeter (OTP) of the city, no problem, we visited Stone Mountain Village, Jackson (for locations and Hawkins HQ) and Atlanta utility Works (AKA Brimborn) we almost squeezed in Skull rock too! but the light beat us. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you will be in very safe hands with a wonderful guide. Shout out to Atlanta Utility for their hospitality, what a great venue it is and for Hawkins Headquarters team who have built something quite magical. We will return to Georgia, Dana has seen to that y'all

Thank you for friendly...

Yunjung_L, Jan 2026
Thank you for friendly and impressive cutomized extra service. You can feel like you are in the movie. I had an exotic experience.

All things Stranger Things!!

If you love Stranger Things you Need this tour. If you think you know Stranger Things you Need this tour!!

Greg is the Most Legendary Guide in the Rightside Up

Jen_A, Jan 2026
If you are hesitant to book the tour, let me be the first to say that the cost is well worth it…& this is coming from someone who is a proud bargain shopper. I decided to “TREAT YO SELF” and do this tour on the day before the Stranger Things finale aired (while I was staying in the Byers House during my travels, no less), and my expectations were exceeded on every level. Greg was beyond friendly, super knowledgeable, and catered the tour to my interests (also added some Marvel filming locations along our travels). 10/10 would do again. You won’t regret taking this tour and feeling like you are a behind the scenes VIP. Thanks Greg for your professionalism, knowledge, and gregarious hospitality. It was like hanging out with a friend who happened to know the most epic knowledge!

Gregg is knowledgeable...

Amy_E, Jan 2026
Gregg is knowledgeable and friendly and he will go as fast or slow as you want him to on your tour..

Francesca was Great!

John_H, Jan 2026
Francesca did a great job as our Stranger Things tour guide. She's bright and fun and, of course, an encyclopedia of Stranger Things knowledge. For the grown-ups, an unexpected bonus: the tour takes you through many of Atlanta's most beautiful and interesting neighborhoods.

Francesca gave us a great tour

Norman_C, Nov 2025
Francesca was super passionate about taking us to see the site where Stranger Things was filmed. Bonus was the last site where the lab scenes were shot and its sad to see that the building will be torn down but we were delighted to see marks on the wall where props were attached.

Book it (I would write every letter big but its not possible)

Marie_G, Nov 2025
If you are a stranger things fan and you‘re in Atlanta BOOK IT. I would even recommend to book the ,VIP‘ Tour, we just did the normal one, but that one was AMAZING. Best greetings to Greg you‘re the best tour guide. If we‘re ever back in Atlanta and the tour offers new places (of Season 5), we‘ll definitely be back. Money comes back, stranger things places get demolished, don‘t think about it. :)

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Greg really is great! We are working on Some season 5 Locations!!

Must have experience with Francesca!

Briana_K, Oct 2025
We saw all the good sites! Our tour guide provided scenes from the show when we visited places and pictures from behind the scenes. Lots of knowledge and fun facts! She was great!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Francesca is a wealth of information, we are glad you enjoyed your time with her!

5-stars for sure!

It was better than what we anticipated! Our guide, Greg, was super fun, knowledgeable and kept us engaged throughout the tour. He knew so many fun facts and we got to see some really great filming locations.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Greg is fantastic, we are glad you enjoyed your tour

A must do !

Heather_R, Sep 2025
This tour was amazing and with every penny! Dana was our private guide and she was so friendly, very knowledgeable of the movie and film industry in Georgia and also of Georgia itself. She was also very accommodating when I became car sick unexpectedly. We plan to come back and do the other locations for Stranger Things we didn’t see since we didn’t do the full day tour . When we come back we will Ask for Dana !

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dana is Awesome! Thank you for the review

Completely amazing! Don’t even think about it. Book it. Greg was a fantastic tour guide. So knowledgeable and fun. Even non-stranger things fans will learn something and enjoy. Your ST fans will appreciate the context, layers and being in the locations where it all happened.

My family and I had a great time on the Stranger things tour! Our guide, Francesca, was awesome- not only did she show us a BUNCH of cool sites and take pictures for us, she also gave us some behind the scenes insights and some prediction sites for season 5! We also got to see and learn a lot about different areas of Atlanta- 10/10 experience that we’ll talk about for years to come!!

Mom/daughter trip

Leslie_L, Jun 2025
This was a fantastic tour! Our guide was Greg and he was great! We saw the houses of Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Barb, and Suzie! We saw the lab, community pool, skull rock, and Brimborn Steelworks! Billy’s car is at Brimborn and the schoolbus is located in a lot close by and we saw that too. This was a MUST for fans of Stranger Things. It was a lot of fun!

I can’t say enough good things about this tour! Greg was an amazing guide and was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I couldn’t believe how many different locations from the show we made it to during the two hours. My 13 year-old son is a huge Stranger Things fan and he had a blast!
