This tour is a must if it's your first time in Helen ... but even if it's not, I highly recommend! Lily and Brent at great tour guides with lots of fun facts about the origins of Helen and suggesions for some of the can't miss sights! And did I mention there is a wine tasting??

Brandon_G

Guide was very informative and did a good job of the history of the town and must see places. Very thorough tour with a lot of walking and some wine/moonshine tasting was the added bonus.

We enjoyed the shopping and the weather was great. Visited antique stores and thrift stores. Go to Franklin North Carolina to eat at Cafe Rel.

Randall_C

The tour seemed lackluster for the amount of walking involved. There was very little content during the tour, and felt more like a 2 hour walk workout. It could be better with more direct storefront involvement and activities.

A learning experience! Funtine! Enjoyed the walk. Nice small town. All the buildings are Alpine style. Candy shops. Also saw the biggest clock store. Very interesting.

This was a wonderful, thorough introduction to Helen, Georgia. It's a great way to have an overview of the city and learn about its history. I would recommend doing this the first day you arrive as a way to determine which activities you'd like to spend more time on during the remainder of your trip.

The two guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Kept the two hour tour walkable. The history information was the best part. We went to a few shops which is expected on tours like this, but they were unique and there was no sales pressure. Learned about Sasquatch. No sighting though.
