We have been to many times Huntsville many times - this tour let us see experience the town in a new way that was more than worth the money! Besides the beautiful walk on the trail we loved learning about the mystery of Tom Thomson. The tour made the murals much more memorable. We appreciated being able to pause the tour to drop into shops and take time for a coffee and snack break. The walking tour and challenges may be 2 hours but give yourself 3 hours to take shopping or snack breaks. We highly recommended this experience.
