Nice home town tour - Emma was a great guide. She was on time and very polite. She was warm and personal on the tour. We had rain, and she did not cancel our tour. Emma let us decide, and things went perfectly for us. Thank you for the tour and a personal touch.

A Taste of Helen. - this was a fun and informational history tour of Helen. A nice stroll through the town with the history since the Indians thrived on this land. Many fun filled facts about famous actors and actresses that stayed right here in Helen. You get to go into some of the merchant stores for a few minutes to taste some fudge and sip some wine. If you like history tours, this is a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Start with this tour! - My husband and I were looking for a quick weekend getaway and decided on Helen, GA. Since neither of us has been here before, we booked this tour to help get us acquainted with this little town. And we are so glad we did! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable... adding humor, history, and interesting stories to the information he shared with us. It is about 2 miles of walking, but he gave plenty of opportunities to sit, lean, and even participate along the way. We even got to do a little gem mining and sample some wines and candy. Highly recommend!
