I give you a version of the city that some locals don’t know exist. In just two hours you will get to see the Tennessee river, gorgeous insights not normally traveled, the beginnings of Tennessee, and even where sports all started! The last Worlds Fair in the USA was held in this scruffy city and you will be a part of the reason why! I will also give the best recommendations to explore the real Tennessee! So you can be a tourist and local simultaneously.

5.00My daughter and I were in town for a UTK visit and wanted to explore the connecting neighborhood. Brandon was full of energy and passion for the Vols 🧡🤍 The walking tour was the perfect way to get a feel for the city and take in some history and art too. The coffee shop was adorable and the ice cream 🍦delicious. Highly Recommend Pouncy Tours!!

5.00Today, 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.
Top notch in Knox

5.00We 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.
Tour was ok but very...

3.00Tour 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.

4.00We 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.
