So Well Done - So well done. China and Sam were able to please a group of 19 seasoned travelers. They were informative, gave us what we wanted, a moderate hike, it was the appropriate length of time, and everyone really enjoyed themselves and the guides. The only thing missing was extra water.

🌲🥾✨ An unforgettably experience with A Walk in the Woods! - I had the absolute pleasure of joining a 4-day/3-night backpacking trip in the Smoky Mountains organized by a Walk in the Woods. It was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, I felt completely taken care of. The experience was seamless, professional, and memorable! The guide, China, was exceptional: deeply knowledgeable, endlessly patient, and a gifted storyteller who brought the forest to life with fascinating history, ecology, and humor. Her kindness and calm made the trip feel adventurous and enriching. The office staff were also fantastic--professional and responsive. Every detail felt thoughtfully planned and expertly executed. If you are looking for a meaningful, well-organized adventure, A Walk in the Woods is the way to go. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience - Our family had a fantastic experience with A Walk in the Woods! Our guide was so knowledgeable, and he tailored the day to fit our interests and abilities. (Hey, if middle-aged mom and hard-to-please 15-year-old boy both have a great day, that’s a WIN!) 😊 Highly recommend!

A great experience! - We did a half-day guided hike with Mike. We had people of various experience, age, and ability in our group and Mike made certain we all had a great experience. We enjoyed a gorgeous hike with lots of interesting information about the area. He also made sure my kids (ages 5 and 8) were involved and engaged, going above and beyond to show them the highlights of the trail. Overall, we are so glad we chose A Walk in the Woods for our Smoky Mountain experience!

Professional Drivers - Really appreciate your van meeting us in Gatlinburg on one trail and picking us up the next day on a different trail to Mt. LeConte. You made the trip so pleasurable.

The best part of our Smoky's trip! - It was the PERFECT way to see the Smoky mountains- probably the best part of our 3-day Smoky mountains trip! Our guide, Samantha, was very knowledgeable and an excellent story teller, full of amazing information about the flora/fauna of the place and its rich history. We explored places we couldn't have figured on our own. Tour was a mix of car ride and walk which kept things moving at a good pace. The tour was customised completely as per the type of places we wanted to explore and itinerary was modified on-the-go based on the changing weather conditions, ensuring we get the most out of our time. The hikes were gorgeous and mostly to non-touristy places which made our overall experience feel very exclusive. Samantha was excellent with her guidances, anecdotes and conversations and we felt engrossed throughout. This team seems like a very passionate group and is doing great work by creating such an authentic tour of the park interiors. Our group of 4 adults left feeling extremely content with the overall experience. It was every bit worth the price.
