3rd hike w “A walk in the woods”. 1st 2 were 4 yrs ago w 3 young teens and we all had a fabulous time and learned a lot. This time we are back in town w senior citizens. We wanted them to see as much as they could of the park while keeping them safe. This was a great choice.

I, along with my six siblings and our spouses, spent several days at Big Buck Lodge in Gatlinburg, for a 'sibling reunion'. We rented the mini-bus for Friday, October 11th. Our guides were Dylan and Kensey. They were FANTASTIC. They picked us up at the cabin and took us up to Clingman's Dome. They were so much fun as guides..and, their knowledge of the area and various aspects of the Smokies was remarkable. A Walk in the Woods is so fortunate to have these two on their team. They made it a very fun time...and, we would recommend A Walk in the Woods to anyone. And, if you can Kensey and Dylan as your guides...you are in for a real treat. Five BIG stars all the way around.Our guide was very friendly and informative. We stopped along the way for some photo ops too. We all enjoyed it, including our 9 and 14 year olds.

We were the only two on the tour. The tour guide picked us up at our hotel due to parking issues at their normal meeting place. The tour was excellent and the park, mountains and waterfalls were breathtaking. Many drove but after driving from Wisconsin to Florida back up to Tennessee it was great to just relax and enjoy. Highly recommend this tour!I enjoyed the expertise of Ben, my guide. He had the answers to all my questions and volunteered more interesting and pertinent information. We also had fun as I was able to see the best of the park in just two hours.
