Amazing Tour in Downtown Knoxville - Brandon is an amazing tour guide. He was punctual, courteous, and insightful. This tour gives you an insider look at Knoxville you can't get just walking around. This tour is a great value, and you can ask him for other things to do in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Knoxville tour with Darrell - My grand daughter and I spent the day doing the UT campus tour and then spent the evening with Darrell exploring and learning all about Knoxville. Darrell was a delight! His knowledge and personality made for a truly great experience. A must do when you visit Knoxville!

Walk and Talk - We enjoyed our guide very much. He was funny, personable, and kind. The sights of Old City and the Market were intestinal and inviting. I think we would have enjoyed more narration and history. This is a walking tour, which was okay for us. Somehow it was unclear that we would be walking the whole time. That was probably our error. This is a fun little overview of that part of town.

Tour was ok but very... - Tour was ok but very rushed. Done in 1/2 the allotted time and not worth the $80 for just one hour. It would have been nice to have a little sit down time for the coffee and ice cream.
