Great way to meet Helen! - We were so happy we booked this tour. It was a great overview of the city with lots of information we wouldn’t have known without the tour. Loved our tour guide! We varied in age from 9 to 60+, and we all loved it. Highly recommend!

Great way to learn about Helen, GA. - Our tour guide (I do not remember his name) was very friendly, informative, and made our tour a delight. Never thought I would have fun panning for gold.

Fantastic Tour - We took a fantastic tour today with Culture Tours in Helen. The guide was a wealth of information/knowledge. We learned the history of Helen and left with a new appreciation of the town. We also enjoyed a wine tasting and a fudge sampling at a local chocolate store. I would highly recommend this tour when you visit Helen.

Great walking tour in Helen, GA - Lily and Brent were knowledgeable about Helen and how it became Alpine Helen. They were personable and fun. We especially loved the gem mining and wine tasting. A very good tour, but be ready to walk. Thank you!

Rip off - I wish I could give a zero rating. The meeting place did not specify that parking was in another location. The tour guide was out front at the location, saw our confusion as to the lack of parking and disappeared inside. I had to run in and ask about parking and was instructed to go across the street to park. He said he would wait for us. He did not. We asked at the desk and were directed to the coffee shop. He was not there and would not answer his phone. I have never been stuck and left without any guidance or apologies like I was today. I would NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TOUR TO ANYONE. The customer service instructed me to call the tour guides number to reach him. I guess they should have instructed him to answer. Disappointed, let down and angry.
