Brian stands out as an exceptional guide who brings something truly special to these tours of the Cherokee and Maggie Valley areas. Reviewers consistently praise his deep knowledge of Cherokee history and culture (he's Cherokee himself), and many mention being moved by his rendering of "Amazing Grace" in the Cherokee language at scenic overlooks. He's described as friendly, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about sharing the region's stories. The tours hit highlights like Mingo Falls, elk viewing (especially during rutting season), and stunning mountain vistas, with Brian adjusting routes to maximize wildlife sightings and photo opportunities. What makes these experiences memorable is the personalized attention guests receive. Brian takes extra time to answer questions, shares impactful stories from Cherokee history, and doesn't rush anyone through the stops. Several reviewers appreciated that he photographs guests and sends the images afterward at no charge. The tours include some physical elements to note, like the 160+ steps to reach the waterfall, but the consensus is it's absolutely worth the effort. The combination of cultural education, natural beauty, and Brian's warm hospitality creates what multiple guests call a "once in a lifetime experience."
From the very start of our tour until the very last minute our guide "Brian" kept us very entertained. We decided to take the morning UTV tour. The ride was awesome and the views were breathtaking & beautiful! The knowledge Brian has is incredible about the Cherokee Natives. We learned so much in one day from him than the last years visiting. We have always honored the Indian heritage so for more than 15 years my husband and I have been coming up from Florida to Cherokee area 2xs a year weekly visits to learn their history. We truly recommend this tour! You wont be disappointed. Jose & Brenda Seffner, Florida
