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.
A great way to get a fun and informative overview of the culture, history and artistry of our little town! Along this 1.9 mile easy-paced stroll, you will experience some the best sights, tastes and activities of Helen. You will also learn about how this amazing town became a worldwide tourist destination. The approximate 2 hour walking tour, led by our local and friendly guides, is the perfect way to start your adventure in Helen!

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.
