It was a great experience; Debbie was knowledgeable and made the trip quite enjoyable. We were the only 2 on the walk and enjoyed the individualized attention.

Our guide Corian was super! So much knowledge about the wildlife in the park and the history of the area. She knew about so many plants and what they had been used for in the past. The hike itself wasn’t too strenuous.

We had a great time with Liz. She was personable, friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the Smokies. The troll bridge was like a fairy tale.

Debbie was an excellent guide. She made the area come alive with the stories of history in the area. She was very knowledgeable; we enjoyed our hike very much.

Ms. Debbie was a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable! She truly loves her job and it comes through in all the things that were pointed out along our hike. The hike is 2 miles up and back, very doable for non-hikers. I highly recommend!

Alexandra was fantastic. She's very friendly, knowledgeable on different plants and berries. She's accommodating when our daughter had to go back to use the bathroom. We had a amazing hike in the Smokey Mountains!

Even though we got lost finding the Visitor’s center, the staff and our tour guide were very accommodating to us, and we really appreciate it. Our tour guide even offered to give us a tour of the beginning part that we missed, which was very kind of her to do. She was very friendly, relatable, and easy to talk to. It was very nice, as hiking is new for our family, and we learned a lot that day. Our tour guide also encouraged us to explore and to consider trying one of the self-guided hikes, which we DID! It was WONDERFUL for our family!

Samantha was amazing. She was so educational and personal and was able to change our walk mid day due to our limitations. Thank you!!!

Our guide was outstanding. She was knowledgeable about the history and the plant life. Very friendly we really enjoyed our hike. We would definitely recommend her and this company!

This was our second walk with Samantha...in fact, we requested her! She is very knowledgeable and very personable. Answered all of our questions and was just full of the history of the Walker Sisters cabin walk. I experienced some difficulties coming back out of the walk (the humidity and my age are not always a good combination!), but she was so patient, so kind and just kept talking and offering support. She's great!! I promised her that I'd acclimate better, get in better shape...and we will come back next year for our third hike!!
