Our guide, Shannon, was so knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed sharing her knowledge. She made the tour very fun and enjoyable. We had the benefit of having an extra guide Nicco. He was equally informative. Two thumbs up highly recommended

My daughter and I had a fantastic time during our excursion; our guide was really informed and passionate about telling us about the area. She explained the geology of the area, and we had the opportunity to sample wild blackberries and sourwood. We went on the 8:30 excursion, which got us to waterfalls before most other people which allowed us to have the falls to ourselves. I loved the fact that I didn't have to drive, and could actually enjoy the scenery in the mountains.
