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.
