Just what we were looking for - The tour was exactly what we hoped it would be: an opportunity to relax and kayak. The guide struck a perfect balance between being social with us and giving us space to just enjoy the experience by ourselves. Would highly recommend.

Would recommend over and over! - Our tour guide for the kayaking was very kind, friendly and helpful. He was such a people person and you could tell he loved his job. Once we were done kayaking we were offered a ride back to our vehicles, water and a delicious frozen lemonade. I would recommend this experience over all the others. I would also love to do this again! 1010000 experience!

Cumberland River kayaking - It was nice! The guides took good care of us. The tour was an hour. We got see where concrete is being made for the new Titans Stadium. I was told there was turtles in the river.

Quite the experience - I've never went kayaking before so I was looking forward to the experience. Josh has an amazing and very personable personality and approach. The ppl who joined were also so friendly. Big Willie was also a delight and professional. The mile and a half was a bit much for me personally and the temp was just too hot, so unfortunately, this made my experience not so great. The only advice I would suggest to the co.pany, is that it should be a guide leading in the front and one to stay in the back. If something were to happen to one of the patrons in the back, no one would ever know...no one looked back too often including the guide

Kayaking not on a city view - The kayaking was fun but I was very disappointed that we did not go towards the city as advertised which is why I booked I wanted to take pictures of the city sky line. I live on a lake and can and do kayaking on the lake often. I booked to see the city views and was disappointed that we did not do the route as booked ( if it was just kayaking I do not believe I would have booked )
