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.
