Very helpful and informative for first time visits. We enjoyed walking around town and learn fun and interesting facts about the town. The clock shop and Yeti sighting were the highlights.

Lily our guide was absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable! We learned a lot about the history of Helen and enjoyed all the local shops along the tour. My personal favorite part was learning about the authentic Cuckoo Clocks and the demonstration of how they operate. Lily was also very accommodating when we asked to stray from the itinerary and pop by a local tea shop. Everyone should do this tour before wandering off on their own through town! There are so many little gems of Helen that can be missed if you go off on your own. Definitely do this tour and wear cozy shoes!
