Wonderful way to explore Knoxville - Today, 12.14.2024 we embarked on a delightful Downtown Knoxville Hidden Tour w/ Ice Cream, Coffee & Tennessee River Gems. With just the two of us in a group it turned out into a private tour , allowing for a leisurely pace and engaging conversation with our knowledgeable guide. We were introduced to some truly unique and unexpected cafes in Knoxville that we’d never heard of before. Thanks to this tour, we've already found and booked the perfect spot for our next family event. This is a wonderful way to explore Knoxville. Highly recommend.

Get to know Knoxville in 2 hours! Tour is a Gem - We had a great time walking with Brandon. He offered a wealth of insight about the history of Knoxville and points of interest while also offering tips on what we can learn and experience about what the city offers visitors today. He took us through the Arts district, Gay St and Union Square with lots of circuitous stops and treats along the way. It was an easy walk. Two hours with a leisurely pace. Brandon was easy to get to know and fun to hang with. I recommend you orient yourself with a hometown tour like this if you are new to Knoxville or just visiting.

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.
