Mike was our guide and he was great!!!! Our first trip to SMNP and we definitely would not have had this experience on our own. The hike was moderate (we are out of shape) but we were able to do it and our guide let us take as many breaks as needed. We got to see native plants and learn about people poaching plants, rocks etc from the parks. This is a must do for anyone visiting the park. Absolutely will do this again and again! Thank you Mike; you were awesome!

I do not know where to begin. This weekend changed my life. I booked this tour a month prior to the start date, I was hesitant because I had never backpacked before. From the beginning, Kensey, the travel guide, was amazing. Everything was organized, she had patient with all of us and was open and communicative. This tours offers you more than you can imagine and it goes the extra mile for sure. Lots of food to chose to take, chocolate, readings, and everything needed to survive on the woods. The instructor was amazing, I expressed her my satisfaction various times. I felt comfortable, happy, and amazed by the beauty of Great Smokey Mountains. When I finished my trip, I could not stop crying for 4 hours. I knew it was not sadness, but positive emotions that I released unconsciously during my trip. This was more than magical, priceless, amazing, and worth doing. I would recommend this with my eyes close!
