What we did hear was the ramblings of a high college student - literally whatever popped into her head to share. Some of it was slightly historic to Knoxville but most of it was about her friends in town, dead birds she's seen, or constantly asking if anyone ELSE had any stories to share. We reached out to the company for a refund and received a rude reply and a denial of any kind of refund. Save your money and re-watch Sixth Sense if you want a spooky evening. The only thing scary here was how awful the tour was.

There's lots of juicy stuff that they aren't going to share just anywhere.

It gets your heart pumping with anticipation, and it's addictive! I highly recommend this for all ages!

We waited until the weather got nicer and more restaurants were open after the pandemic. Pamela was kind, knowledgeable, and interspersed the history of Knoxville and various buildings/restaurants as we went on our walking tour down Gay Street and Market Square. We stopped and had tastings (appetizers/small meals) at three local restaurants, tea tasting at a local tea shop, and dessert over 3 hours. The portions were more than enough to enjoy without being uncomfortable by the end of the tour. I highly recommend Pamela and her food tour. We are locals and still learned a lot and got to try new things. Would make for a great date or fun day out with friends!

We ended up going on a Friday night and had a total blast. Ace was our guide, and she was super fun and knowledgeable. She had an engaging way of telling us about the beer-making process, and I learned some cool stuff. Fluffy was our driver/pourer, and transported us around safely; it was so great to get a little drunk and not have to worry about transportation. I liked that the tour is built around the interests of the people on it, which means every tour is a little bit different. There were plenty of snacks on board, and I definitely appreciated the endless supply of water. The only thing I wish is that we could have had a little more time at each brewery, as it felt like we were rushing from spot to spot. One thing that's really great about this tour is that it gives a bit of a taste of lots of different kinds of beers, beginning with mild and easy ones and working up to darker or more experimental beer. I even found a few new favorites! I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves beer or who isn't so sure but is interested in trying out what Knoxville has to offer!

A very nice woman helped and booked our cruise. It was really nice. We did the dinner cruise. At 5:15 they started to let us on the boat. Byron took our drink order and let us know about the souvenir cup, if we wanted to buy a drink and keep the cup. Before the next group came in he answered a few questions I had and was very friendly. 6pm the cruise started. Tables were told they could go to the buffet. Food was good. I didn't like their honey mustard dressing, I asked Byron if there was any other dressing. He brought me ranch in a little cup. He was on top of refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything. I asked him so many different questions and he answered everything and shared some things to try while in Tennessee. We had our dinner and enjoyed the view. After the meal we went on the deck and enjoyed everything. At the end I thank Byron and the rest of the crew. I would do this again for sure.

Excellent service and a decent buffet lunch yet the cruise itself was disappointing. Sure, we saw…read moresome water views of the city and bridges, yet we only traveled from the docks near Volunteer Landing to Crescent Bend on the Tennessee River, a distance of approximately 3 miles. About 10 years ago we took the same boat ride and traveled farther down the River. Along the route, a man narrated our short journey pointing out buildings and markers along the way--however, with diners carrying on conversations, background music playing, dishes clanking and the engines roaring, it was difficult to hear even half of what he said. Again, the buffet lunch tasted fine, nothing outstanding, yet the chicken appeared to be seasoned with pepper and maybe a bit of salt. Perhaps a Chicken Piccata with slices of lemon in a creamy sauce or chicken-broth-seasoned sauce would have been more creative. The stewed cinnamon-sugar apples with pastry, served warm in the buffet might have been offered at the end of the food line as a dessert and in a separate dish. Instead, it appeared after the buttery biscuits and before the cold pasta salad with cucumbers and tomatoes and the hot carrots and corn. Overall, perhaps the paddle wheeler is an excellent experience for a first-time rider and a wonderful party venue for special events like weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. Having sailed twice before, this $45 per person ride (there were 4 of us) needed a more clearly-heard narration, a longer ride, and perhaps more creative food. Kudos to the servers, though! Attentive and friendly!
