We really enjoyed our tour with Brent! We learned a lot about the history of Helen, and had fun along the way. I would highly recommend taking this your because it is a great way to survey the town and figure out what you'd like to go back to the most. We did a wine and moonshine tasting, candy tasting, gemstone mining, and visited the most beautiful clock shop. Out your guide recommended and walked everyone to lunch at different restaurants at the end of our tour and answered any questions we had. Definitely take this reasonably priced walking tour.

Could be fun and informative lots of information and history most people don't know about. Places we might not have found The downside of this tour was the guy walked way too fast for us. I had trouble keeping up. There were two ladies with canes and she walked very very fast and at the end, they walked away from me and I didn't even find them, so I didn't even finish the tour with them. She should've waited and make sure everybody was with her. I didn't like that at all.

This was a very enjoyable tour. I did not read the description correctly. I thought it was a bus tour but it was a walking tour. The tour guide who was very knowledgeable was also very good about my mobility issue. I cannot walk that far. When she stopped to explain things she made sure there was a place for me to sit. She had pictures of what buildings and things looked like in the past. She answered all questions and she was a pleasure to be with.

The weather was wonderful for a walk. The guide was informed, and I enjoyed his stories. It became a 3 hour walk, and I couldn't continue walking without a break. The tour guide went to get his car and picked us up at the point that we tired out

Brent was informative and knowledgeable on the history of Helen and surrounding areas. We learned about some of the culture and how Helen came back after a recession. Great walk thru the small businesses and area on a nice day!
