Even though we got lost finding the Visitor’s center, the staff and our tour guide were very accommodating to us, and we really appreciate it. Our tour guide even offered to give us a tour of the beginning part that we missed, which was very kind of her to do. She was very friendly, relatable, and easy to talk to. It was very nice, as hiking is new for our family, and we learned a lot that day. Our tour guide also encouraged us to explore and to consider trying one of the self-guided hikes, which we DID! It was WONDERFUL for our family!

Samantha was amazing. She was so educational and personal and was able to change our walk mid day due to our limitations. Thank you!!!

This was our second walk with Samantha...in fact, we requested her! She is very knowledgeable and very personable. Answered all of our questions and was just full of the history of the Walker Sisters cabin walk. I experienced some difficulties coming back out of the walk (the humidity and my age are not always a good combination!), but she was so patient, so kind and just kept talking and offering support. She's great!! I promised her that I'd acclimate better, get in better shape...and we will come back next year for our third hike!!

We had a wonderful tour yesterday with Charles and Amanda. They were extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history. The tour was perfect for our group that included children as young as 5. We all agreed that it was a great way to spend the morning!

Our tour guide was Avery. She was great! She was very knowledgeable of the area, and answered all our questions. The hike was about 2 miles in total. Elevation was only about 400 feet at a slow incline. My elderly mother made this hike, with a walking stick.. Avery was very understanding, and we took frequent breaks! Gorgeous views of Potters Creek, and the home site was great! Definitely plan to do more excursions with this company..

We had Alyssa as our guide and she was fantastic. Very engaged and knowledgeable. She shared a lot of information about the Smoky Mountains that was definitely things we did not know concerning the wildlife and history. The tour was a nice steady pace with lots of stops along the way to learn about the area.
