Melissa A (Alpacas & Mountains & Coffee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My family did the Alpaca and hiking tour and it was absolutely perfect! Hope and Ryan were so sweet and so patient with our young kids! The tour had beautiful overlooks and a wonderful hike. The alpacas were so fun for both adults and kids! You are the only ones enjoying the alpacas so it was a perfect relaxing end to the day! The coffee was delicious! They even take photos for you and they were all so great! It was so nice to come back with photos of the whole family together! If you are thinking about booking just do it! You won’t regret it! Even if you have been to Chattanooga several times like us, it’s absolutely worth it!” (Google + Tripadvisor Review)

Kristal J (Chasing Waterfalls) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Hope & Ryan were absolutely AMAZING!! The couple was such a joy to tour with. They were friendly and just as excited as we were to see to the falls. The most important part was how patient they were. They let us set the pace of the hike and spend as much time as we liked at each fall! They picked us up from our hotel and drove us to each location. The ride was smooth. The vehicle was spotless and they provided a variety of good snacks and water.The trip was safe, easy, and fun! I LOVED every moment of the tour. I can't wait to join them again!!!”

Priscilla V (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Ryan and Hope were nothing short of amazing - caring, attentive and very prepared with snacks and water. I thoroughly enjoyed my hike and company with them and would recommended a guided hike with them to anyone! I did the soul therapy and it was gorgeous. They went the extra mile by sending me food and scenic view recommendation! Would use them again when I come back to Chattanooga!” (Google Review)

Chris G (Alpacas & Mountains & Coffee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Ryan and Hope were attentive, prepared, and very hospitable. Our tour included spectacular views of Chattanooga proper and some lovely overlooks. Our tour also included a backstage pass to hang out at Rosie Mae's Alpaca Farm & Boutique where the coffee was great, the hospitality was greater, and so many questions were answered. One of the highlights that I hadn't expected of this trip was that I didn't have to worry about capturing the moment or the sights. Photography was included in the tour, so we could just be present in what we were seeing and doing.” (Tripadvisor Review)

Arthur E (Alpacas & Mountains & Coffee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Hope and Ryan are some real top notch folks. We informed them we were not experienced hikers and they were so helpful the entire time. Not only were they there to guide us physically they were so informative and knowledgeable the entire time! Hope and Ryan had an answer to every question we had and explained everything so simply! We were visiting the area on our honeymoon and they went above and beyond with everything involved and even gave us some wonderful lunch recommendations and helped us find a church to visit that evening! We will be back with our 6 children next time and they will love it too!

They start the adventure by meeting you to ride with them in their water and food stocked suburban. They opened our doors for us everytime we were getting in and out. They made sure we stayed hydrated and fueled by reminding us of the water and light snacks they carried for us in their backpacks. They took professional grade photos durring our trip. Our particular hike ended at an alpaca [farm] to pet and feed them. The farm also had a bistro on site so we enjoyed a wonderful coffee with everyone. I would recommend this to anyone!

10 stars!!” (Tripadvisor + Google Review)

Justin R (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This is by far the best business to contact if you're looking to go on a guided hike in the Chattanooga area. Ryan and Hope are very knowledgeable of the area and provide a safe, fun tour. They do a great job of making you feel at ease while exploring the beautiful, scenic views Chattanooga has to offer.” (Google Review)

Charles T (The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Ryan and Hope we're great! They picked us up at our hotel which made it very convenient since we didn't rent a car. They showed up exactly on time with smiles on their faces.
They were great conversationalists on our way to the first hike.
Our hike was during the heat of the summer, so it was helpful that they started early. The air was cooler.
They took us on two hikes, totaling about 3 miles. The first one was rather steep and short, but not crazy. The second one was more flat. Both ended with brilliant views.
They carried water and snacks for us.
When they brought us back, they dropped us off by the river walk.

This was a great morning excursion, and both my wife and I highly recommend using Ryan and Hope to get a little closer to nature.” (Google Review)

Julie P (The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Where do I start with this review… it was absolutely amazing. First Ryan and Hope pick you up at your hotel, which allows you to have zero stress and sit back to enjoy the experience. The places we went were absolutely breath taking. We never would have found these places on our own. The waterfall was the number 1 for our family. Ryan and Hope knew exactly when to go, so we had the waterfall all to ourselves. It felt surreal. To add to the great experience, they take pictures and video. Where most places will charge for this, it is actually part of your experience. I love to capture every moment (sometimes even annoy my family with the pictures), but I was able to relax and allow Ryan and Hope to do that. The pictures are amazing and a forever keepsake. Lastly, Ryan and Hope made this experience personal. The two of them are the cutest-sweetest couple. By the end of the tour, not only did I consider them friends—I wished I lived in Chattanooga so we could be friends!! In a 10 star scale, I would give them 11 plus!” (Tripadvisor + Google Review)

Saige S (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Ryan and Hope! They are both so professional, yet still so fun(!), and they came fully prepared. They had snacks and waters for the ride over, as well as during the hike; they made great conversation; were in tune with our pace; took amazing quality photos; and were just overall kind, good people. Our experience was well worth the price and truly believe they could charge even more for the experience, as they truly provide a high quality, unforgettable experience! Thank you both so much for the memories - we would recommend you over and over again! Everyone traveling to Chattanooga, book with them!!

P.S. Another amazing part was their communication with us. Our flight was cancelled which led to us arriving later than anticipated, so we had to reschedule our tour. Ryan and Hope kept in touch and were more than willing to accommodate our needed change. You’ll be in amazing hands with these two!” (Google Review)

Sonya B (Good Morning Mountains & Waterfall Wonderland) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“If you are looking for great hospitality, amazing scenery and an awesome experience book any hiking trip with Ryan & Hope. I booked Waterfall Wonderland for my daughters 16th birthday for her and I and the [Good Morning Mountains tour] for us and my 70 year old parents. Ryan and Hope are amazing, they were so accommodating and encouraging to my parents making sure they were ok and not going to fast for them or making them feel like a burden. They were so good at keeping in touch with me right up to the minute they pulled up to get us. I can not say enough great things about this couple. They are great!”

Tracy B (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My sister, niece and I did the Soul Therapy tour...it was AMAZING!!! Hope and Ryan were amazing!

Brandi S (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Words can not adequately express how much fun my family of 4 (4 year old, 10 month old) had during our adventure with Ryan and Hope. Experience Chattanooga was the perfect hiking exploration for us and we loved every single minute of it. Every detail was accounted for ranging from snacks, photos, and in-depth knowledge about Chattanooga and nature. We truly appreciated the exclusive tour, along with being able to take our time and enjoy being out in nature —- enjoying God’s creation. Ryan and Hope are unmatched! They embody kindness, professionalism, warmth, great conversation and fun! We can’t wait to book another experience!
P. S. They were so kind that our four year old wanted to go [home] with them and asks about them often!

Angelica G (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Experience Chattanooga exceeded my expectations for my first hiking tour! Ryan & Hope are amazing people and possess all the great qualities to make your hiking experience memorable. The scenery was beautiful, and they were helpful, considerate, and friendly. The photographs taken on the tour were the cherry on top! I loved, Loved, Loved the pictures taken during the tour.

Anthony G (The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“What an amazing experience! From pick-up to drop-off Ryan and Hope were amazing. We really enjoyed the warm and friendly welcome and they quickly connected with us as if we have known them for years. Throughout the day they continued being awesome despite having to listen to our boring stories. LOL.

We were also impressed by [the] level of professionalism and knowledge Hope and Ryan had regarding the Chattanooga area. They were super helpful with recommendations for other local things to do and enjoy; and boy did they not disappoint. If you book with Experience Chattanooga I highly suggest that you try and butter up Ryan and Hope during your tour and you might just get a personal curated list of local places to eat and visit.

Here are a few highlights for our 'The Best of Tennessee' tour:
* Car Ride - very clean, spacious and comfortable
* Service - Friendly, warm and genuine
* Hiking - Breathtaking, exciting terrain and well-paced
* Photos - OMG! Ryan takes wonderful photos

Please support these young entrepreneurs. They are quality at its best! (Tripadvisor + Google Review)

Tonesha A (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Ryan and Hope were such great [tour guides] for a solo hiker as myself. It was great to just show up. I didn’t have to worry about snacks, drinks, and even taking pictures. I could just be and embrace the beauty of Gods creation with such loving people. If you are in Chattanooga for a visit or a new local resident, as my self, you should definitely “Experience Chattanooga” with this lovely couple ☺️💙” (Tripadvisor + Google Review)

Asia S (Waterfall Wonderland & The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“If I could give them 10 stars I would. I have the best time of my time in Chattanooga with Hope and Ryan. I 100% recommend them. They were so much fun and really made sure I had fun. I felt like I have known them forever. I took two tours with them. They were on time and picked me up from my hotel. Provided me with bunch of snacks, and water. Hope even brought me some homemade snacks. They were extremely patient during the hikes and took bunch pictures, and videos wherever I wanted to in addition to all the candid pictures that Ryan is always taking. They are very knowledgeable and absolutely love what they do. I solo travel and use tour guides all the time but Hope and Ryan are exceptional people who really care [about] the tours and go extra mile to make sure you are having fun. I cant wait to go back and take more tours with them.”

Ashley M (Wandering, Not Lost) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary and this was our first time to the area and we are so happy we went with tour guides instead of trying to wing it ourselves. Hope and Ryan were quick to respond to messages, very personable and made the experience carefree. Ryan took some really great photos of us that we will cherish! We started early so we could see a sunrise it was absolutely stunning then we got to see the river from above which was my favorite part! We saw deer and a beautiful waterfall we could get get close to! Hope is brave and swam in the ice cold water I gave it my best shot but will need to return when it’s warmer because that would have been amazing if I could have. If we come back to Chattanooga we will definitely explore more with them!
Tip: book early don’t wait :)” (Tripadvisor Review)

Liz S (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“If I could only leave 100 stars, I would! This is THE way to hike in Chattanooga. Hope and Ryan led us on the most beautiful and serene adventure. From scenic mountain top overlooks to swimming at the base of plunging falls, you'll experience everything Chattanooga has to offer in the hiking market. And if that's not enough to make you book one of Experience Chattanooga's excursions right now, you'll also be provided with an online album of gorgeous professional photographs documenting your trek.

Sarah W (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We booked the Lula Lake hike and it was absolutely gorgeous!! Hope and Ryan were excellent hosts. They provided wonderful transportation to and from the hike, plenty of water and snacks for our party and outstanding photos of our hike! They’re both very knowledgeable about the property and told us all about the history. If you’re looking for something memorable to do outdoors with family or friends while in Chattanooga you won’t be disappointed booking a hike with with Experience Chattanooga! 5+ stars ⭐️” (Google Review)

Heidi M (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We had an amazing experience with Hope and Ryan on the Lula Lake tour! We enjoyed our entire trip to Chattanooga, but the tour was definitely the highlight! You can tell that they both love what they do, and it truly felt like they went out of their way to make it a great experience for us. I was a bit nervous about if my 7 year old daughter would enjoy herself, but she loved every minute. Both Ryan and Hope were very patient with her and helped keep her engaged throughout the over 2 miles of hiking. She is still talking about how fun it was almost a week later. Getting amazing family photos on top of all the memories made it even better, and I cannot recommend this tour enough!” (Tripadvisor Review)

Erica L (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“While searching things to do for our upcoming trip to Chattanooga I found Experience Chattanooga. We ended up booking the Soul Therapy hike. It was the perfect end to our trip. Hope and Ryan are incredible tour guides. They made the whole excursion memorable. We were welcomed with water and snacks but most importantly good vibes. A nice hike through the woods with amazing views of tree lined mountains ending at a fantastic waterfall. We were provided water shoes to traverse the rocks leading close to the waterfall. They also had towels handy as well! Hope led me out to the waterfall and we took a dip in the ice cold water. I chickened out swimming behind the waterfall, but felt accomplished even getting that close to the waterfall. I’m so appreciative of Hope taking the lead and guiding me out there. It was such a refreshing experience. On top of everything Ryan was snapping photos of our hike. It took away the stress of trying to get the perfect photos. We have so many great pictures and memories from Sunday! They have such a wonderful business model and hope only the best for this amazing couple! If in doubt book, you won’t be disappointed!!” (Tripdavisor Review)

Misty P (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We are still talking about how much fun we had with Hope and Ryan on our Lula Lake hike. If you are looking for something more personal and away from the big groups, this is the way to do it. The whole experience was so enjoyable, from booking and payment to ensuring we knew where to meet and finishing up with making sure we got the e-mail of our pictures. I honestly can not say enough of how much we enjoyed our hike. The pictures that are taken captured the day perfect and will forever be family memories. We enjoyed it so much that we are wanting to visit Chattanooga again just to go on another hike with Hope and Ryan. A hike with Experience Chattanooga is the best way to see what Chattanooga has to offer!” (Tripadvisor + Google Review)

Terri R (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We did the Soul Therapy hike a few weeks ago and we're STILL talking about what a fantastic time it was! Hope & Ryan were absolutely lovely and made us feel right at home as soon as we climbed into their van. We were underdressed for the chilly morning but were able to borrow gloves and jackets from them (phew!). They even had snacks and water available which was a treat! The hike was simply breathtaking and truly good for our soul. Ryan's photographs were outstanding (if you're looking for a new profile picture or Christmas card idea - this is it!) and Hope's knowledge of the area inspired us to visit Chattanooga again (we're hoping to return in the fall). We went home feeling refreshed and happy and will absolutely be booking another hike!” (Tripadvisor Review)

Grace E (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“What a fun way to see the mountains! I was in Chattanooga for a short time by myself, and I loved that everything was taken care of on the tour – from transportation to snacks to photography! Ryan and Hope were super knowledgeable about the area and so fun to talk to. I only wish I'd had time to do one of the longer waterfall tours! Maybe next time :)” (Tripadvisor + Google Review)

Vonda H (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I have so much to say about Ryan and Hope. I will leave you no doubt that they are top notch and worth every penny. First, I will start with their response time. I went on their website which was very easy to maneuver through and find exactly what worked for our family. We are a family of 5 with a teenager, a toddler, and an infant. The description of [Lula Lake] matched our little family perfectly. We inquired and they responded back within the hour. By the next day they called and we had our tour booked. They kept open our means of communication by text, which was best for us, and responded to any of our questions.

Moving on to our hiking experience, they adjusted the starting time to our needs. They offered to pick us up, but bc we had little ones they met us there. The location was an easy find. When we met them in person they were just as kind and humble as I pictured them to be. They explained the hike to us and we were off to beautiful views, connecting with Mother Nature, and just enjoying our family to the fullest. On our rest stops, they provided snacks, water and toilet paper (lol). They interacted with our children, allowed us to take our time, took amazing family photos, and we all just connected with them like we had been knowing them a long time. They gave us an important history lesson about our hike and most importantly they kept us SAFE!

If you are ever in the Chattanooga area, booking with [Experience Chattanooga] is a must! It most definitely outweighs all of the popular tourism ‘things to do’ in Chattanooga.” (Tripadvisor + Google Review)

Bri L (Sunrise + Waterfall Adventure) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Amazing sights, stress free planning. From the get-go Ryan and Hope were kind and helpful and the whole tour was definitely something I could not recreate on my own. Having their local expertise definitely helped make the tour more unique and the locations were absolutely stunning, its worth every penny for the experience.” (Tripadvisor Review)

Katherine P (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Do not do Chattanooga without experiencing the most beautiful views and excellent company of Hope and Ryan! I am so glad I booked this day. My husband, 2 teenagers, and myself got to see such amazing views and spend meaningful family time on our vacation. Hope and Ryan made us feel like friends hiking with them for the morning. They are a fun interesting couple who make you feel so at home. I’m patting myself on the back for choosing this experience for our trip! My teenagers had a great time!” (Tripadvisor Review)

Noemi P (The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I spent the most amazing hiking day with Hope and Ryan. Not only [sightseeing] and exploring but also educational. I learned about native trees and types of good fungus and moss, the cutest small town with about 400 residents and the oldest bakery in Tennessee established in 1902!! The waterfalls, the rock climbing walls and boulders, the clear water stream and the mind-boggling pine trees growing out of nothing but rock!! Good conversations great company and absolutely breathtaking views.
Hope and Ryan are very dedicated and kept in contact about details and such. The professional pictures [are] included in the trip!! [You] can't beat that for the price. Water, snacks and transportation! I will recommend Experience Chattanooga if [you] like the outdoor [you] know there is nothing more relaxing that the sound of silence in nature. I loved this experience and looking forward to our next adventure!” (Tripadvisor Review)

Hanna K (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Experience Chattanooga is an absolute must when traveling into town. Our expectations were BEYOND exceeded. If you are unfamiliar with the city but are interested in exploring and hiking to some beautiful destinations, this company is perfect. Our tour was personalized, private, and completely fantastic. Hope and Ryan truly were two of the most friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun people. They made our groups experience amazing! From homemade snacks and awesome photography, they genuinely cared about our experience and we were not let down. I would recommend this company to everyone, no matter the age or previous hiking experience. They truly took the time to make this a personalized trip! They made us feel so comfortable and welcomed.

Michael P (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We are new to the area and new to hiking. For our first attempt, we felt it would be important to use a guide rather than wander through trails on our own. We reached out to Hope and Ryan and could not be more pleased with our decision. They were both very knowledgeable and super pleasant; which made our experience awesome! We look forward to working with Hope and Ryan on another adventure in the future!” (Google Review)

Sergio M (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Karolina R (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Don’t leave Chattanooga without doing a hike with Hope and Ryan.

Our family of 4 booked the Lula Lake hike (kids 12 & 7) and, it was the highlight of our Chattanooga vacation. We did all of the other local attractions - but, none came close to the time that we spent with Ryan and Hope.

The hike was incredible - the nature was awe inspiring. But, the hosts were the absolute best. My kids have become Ryan and Hope groupies. They loved spending time with them. Ryan and Hope kept them engaged and entertained the whole way. And, I felt perfectly safe with the kids walking ahead with them.

They came fully prepared for the hike - we didn’t have to worry about anything!

We plan on returning to Chattanooga in the spring just to do more hikes with these two incredible people!”

Isabella P (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My 9 year old son and I hiked with Hope & Ryan, and I'm so glad we did! We did the Lula Lake hike and the experience was so beautiful and amazing! My son & I are both shy, but Hope and Ryan were wonderful, attentive and so patient with us. I really appreciate that a lot. Not only did they provide transportation and amazing photos, but they also had water, towels and delicious snacks!

Ryan is amazing capturing on his camera and Hope is very knowledgeable on the history of Chattanooga and where we hiked. Lula Lake Land Trust is a beautiful spot to hike and being so close to the waterfall was an incredible experience! We had never been as close to one as we were.

We had the best time hiking and the tour was the highlight of our trip to Chattanooga! They both gave us recommendations on places to eat and check out. I felt I left with new friends and the best memories. Hope and Ryan are the sweetest. Hope even skipped rocks with my son. A big thank you to them for making this experience happen for us! I will definitely book another tour in the future!” (Google + Tripadvisor Review)

Joanne B (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The owners, Hope and Ryan, live in the Chattanooga mountains and they know all the best spots. The views we saw were breathtaking. The flexibility of a private tour is worth the money. The unique part of the tour is having a professional photographer! Not only are the photos gorgeous, you can actually relax deeply and soak in the beauty of the outdoors. My soul was nourished.” (Google Review)

Josh E (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Such an awesome experience. Hope and Ryan were knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Falls were beautiful and really cool to swim in and under. We didn’t feel rushed at all, and were able to enjoy at our own pace. They took care of taking pictures and some videos, and even took some extras of plants and views that we requested. Waters and snacks provided so we just had to bring ourselves. All of us had some great conversations with both Ryan and Hope, and they were very attentive to our interests. Would highly recommend these two and their trips. We will almost for sure be booking another tour with them, probably in the fall.” (Tripadvisor Review)

Kelsi W (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“At the last minute I decided to book a tour for our trip to Chattanooga. I chose this one because it was private and followed covid safe protocols. Little did I know how great that decision would turn out to be! From the beginning Ryan was responsive and willing to work to get us scheduled. And then the hike/tour itself was fantastic, beautiful and interesting, and felt like getting a “local”experience. Finally, Hope and Ryan are lovely and provided not only a fantastic tour but also incredible recommendations for other places to see and eat at in Chattanooga. Honestly, their tour is the reason we fell in love with Chattanooga!” (Google Review)

Rachel B (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“So it's crazy that it even took this long for us to post a review after our exhilarating experience with Ryan and Hope but my husband and I are still talking about what an amazing time we had on our hike! Ryan and Hope started out as our tour guides but it felt more like hiking with friends..no I take that back, we loved them so much they became family! They are such an incredible couple who was professional, very knowledgeable about Chattanooga, the hiking area, the history of where we were with cool stories and they brought snacks people...SNACKS! Ryan's photos captured our adventure perfectly and there was ample time to relax and explore. We absolutely loved our hike experience with them and can't wait to book again.
If you are on the fence about booking them, DO IT RIGHT NOW! You will not regret it. Were else can you get a world class hiking tour, all of God's beauty on display, great company and conversation, and a photo gallery?? Right here!! Book...right...now :)” (Tripadvisor Review)

“We loved every minute of our hike, thanks to Ryan and Hope! From the moment we met them, they were so nice, friendly, and just easy to talk to. Never a dull moment with them!!! They really know a lot about Chattanooga and as because we are new residents, it was so great to know more local spots in town. We are not really outdoorsy people but the hike we did was up to par to our level! Not only did the humans enjoy, even the pup did! I have nothing but great things to say about them and their work. Chef’s kiss!!!! Tbh it felt like we were hiking with our friends! The photos Ryan took were amazing! Even though my husband really didn’t like a lot of picture taking, Ryan was able to capture the best moments! I couldn’t recommend them enough when you are here in Chattanooga.

“We had such a wonderful hike with Hope and Ryan. They were very informative about the history of the the area and the surrounding vegetation.

We will definitely be seeing them again next time we are in Chattanooga.” (Tripadvisor Review)

Doug T (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We loved our hike experience with these guys. Very professional and think of every detail to make the experience wonderful. Love everything about the day with Ryan and Hope.

Katie B (Good Morning Mountains & The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Ryan and Hope were absolutely amazing!! We scheduled 2 different tours/hikes with them and they delivered everything I could have hoped for and more. The sunrise tour is breathtaking and so beautiful and we also got to hike to the tops of mountains and to a waterfall and climb in. If you are looking for something much less tourist like and more personal, definitely choose one or more of their available tours. They will even pick you up and provide waters, snacks and towels. And the fact that they capture pictures of your group and compile a photo gallery for you afterwards is amazing. I would definitely do more tours with them in the future!”

Crystal Z (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Reading reviews to see if you should book a tour? Just stop and book the tour, you won't regret it!

Ryan and Hope exceeded our expectations for what the sunrise hike would be. They made contact with us prior to the day of, and the day before our hike checked in to finalize our pick up spot.

Their vehicle is clean, welcoming and even has a little basket of snacks and water. The car ride was comfortable as we all made conversations with each other.

The trail for the hike was perfect! It's off the beaten path, so it's quiet, and the views are just incredible.

Ryan takes amazing photos to document the trip, and Hope has a lot of knowledge about the areas we could see from the mountain.

On the ride back, Ryan and Hope gave us recommendations of local places to visit and hikes to go on. They even text us directions to find a hidden gem off of one of the trails. 😊

Not only did they provide amazing service the day of our booking, they went above and beyond by reaching out to us to make sure we made it back home from our vacation safely.” (Google Review)

Carmen V (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Experience Chattanooga was worth every penny!!! Ryan and Hope were the best guides!! I was initially nervous about booking a 1on1 guided hike because if the guides are boring then the hike won’t be as fun, but Ryan and Hope were awesome! Fun and informative! We did the Lula Lake Waterfall hike. My husband described the experience as a mental massage! And we was exactly right! Not only did Hope and Ryan offer an amazing hike, with beautiful photographs, they also recommended restaurants and things to do during our visit. We actually stuck to their list of recommendations, and we were not disappointed!” (Google + Tripadvisor Review)

Sarah C (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We spent a week in Chattanooga doing most everything it has to offer and our hike with Hope and Ryan was by far our favorite thing of the entire trip. The convenience of being picked up and dropped off and not having to worry about a thing is a great start. It is a wonderful experience to just hike and explore knowing that everything else is being taken care of. They carried waters and snacks for us and were extremely wonderful with our younger children. The pictures from this hike were everything. It is not often you can go explore on vacation and have someone capture such precious moments of your entire family. They were both so amazing helping us to find great food spots and other things to do. If planning a trip to Chattanooga this a MUST DO CANNOT PASS UP sort of thing you want to put at the top of your list.” (Tripadvisor Review)

Taylor P (The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This guided tour hike was above and beyond our expectations! Of course the views were amazing but Hope and Ryan with Experience Chattanooga made it extra special. They were both so great! They were knowledgeable, professional and made ya feel as if we were just on a hike with some friends! It was nice to have them show us around and learn from them. They made sure we had great photos which I really appreciated and [it was] nice to not have to worry about taking them ourselves. I would highly recommend them and will be booking another hike with them in the future.” (Google + Tripadvisor Review)

Lisa M (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My 14 year old son and I traveled to Chattanooga for spring break. We were Amazed at all the wonderful things to do there and all the history [was] really neat. The very best part of our trip was our hike with Ryan and Hope at Experience Chattanooga. They were so welcoming, so professional and two of the most kind people. We hiked and talked with them on the Lula Lake Tour and it felt like we had known them for years. They were very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history and they made us feel right at home. This is a MUST experience for anyone visiting Chattanooga AND anyone living there. I cannot wait to bring my entire family back so they can experience it too. Thank you Ryan and Hope!

Allyson W (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Guys, seriously don't hesitate to book an experience with this local duo! I love love love off the beaten path locations and these two nailed it. I hired them for the 'Good Morning Mountains' tour with my 18month old - and we had a great time. They were so incredibly patient and engaging with Julian (my little boy), definitely family friendly! In the time of Covid, they took every single precaution. I highly recommend spending a morning with Hope & Ryan. I can't wait to make our way back to experience some waterfalls with them!” (Tripadvisor Review)

Amy V (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“What an AMAZING experience! We were all in aww!!! They (Hope & Ryan) took us (2 families ranging in age from 7-60). They started by helping us pick the perfect tour for our group and it truly was, THE PERFECT tour! They picked us up at our campground and off we were. There was a chance for storms that day, so they kept in touch with us daily, for updates. Their attention to detail with snacks, waters, and towels, was ON THE MONEY! Do not hesitate to reach out to them!!! I am soooo glad I did and so was our group! I have now gained, "Tour picker" in our group!... Oh, and the pics that he takes along the way, that are included in the tour... WOOOOWWW.” (Google Review)

Sonja K (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My mom, stepdad, boyfriend and I went on a guided hike with Ryan and Hope a couple days after Thanksgiving and the whole experience was wonderful. They are incredibly friendly and fun guides; they think of all you may need, were very cautious with Covid, and happy to go at our pace allowing for some exploring. The hike itself was beautiful and had great stopping points. I loved that Ryan takes photos throughout the experience, because it allowed me to leave my phone behind and be totally present during the experience, but still have wonderful photos and memories after, and the photos were ready within a week. It was a fantastic time in many different aspects and I would highly recommend booking a hike with Experience Chattanooga!” (Google Review)

Jessica T (Sunrise + Waterfall Adventure) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My best friend and I go on an annual girls trip and explore a different location each year. This year we decided to try Chattanooga, and I have to say the highlight of our trip was *hands down* our Experience Chattanooga adventure with Ryan and Hope! They were AWESOME! They picked us up at 5:30 to go see a beautiful sunrise and then to a lovely waterfall that flowed into a fun swimming hole! The scenery was breathtaking, and Ryan took gorgeous pictures of the whole thing for us to remember our adventure! Afterwards we all went out for lunch together and they took the time to ask our interests and compile a list of recommendations for other things we might like to try in the area. It was so much fun spending time with them! Ryan and Hope both definitely went above and beyond the extra mile to give us an experience we wouldn't forget! By the end of the day we felt like they were old friends! Definitely the best tour guides EVER!!! I think it's worth making a trip to Chattanooga just for a tour with them!! Be sure to get in touch with Ryan and Hope if you are ever in the area to have an amazing adventure yourself!!!” (Google Review)

Renita A (Chattanooga’s Best Sights) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Don't miss this activity while in the Chattanooga area. If you/your family enjoys being in the great outdoors with be sure to hook up with Ryan and Hope for some time seeing the beauty of the Tennessee Valley.

We enjoyed our day because we didn't have to plan our hike, research the trail, didn't have to put together a backpack or snacks and didn't have to carry anything all day. We just arrived and they took care of all the rest. At the end of the day they had recommendations of places to eat in the area. All in all a wonderful day.

We never felt like we were on their schedule either. We wandered around in areas that interested us and took our time to stop and look at whatever caught our eye. Of course they already knew the trail and pointed out a couple of things that we might have walked right past.

Hope will give you a little bit of history and look up every type of plant/flower you ask about while Ryan will surprise you with wonderful photos of the day that you didn't even realize were being taken.

Well worth the $$ spent.” (Tripadvisor + Google Review)

Sandra A (Good Morning Mountains) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My review is a tad late but I thought better late than never!! We went on our hike on March 15! We had a party of three and it was our first time in Chattanooga and we absolutely loved it. We started off with the hike with Hope and Ryan. When we went on the hike it was actually cold at that time [it] was about 50°. Thankfully Hope and Ryan were well prepared with jackets and gloves cause we were not. You can tell that they truly care about their business and the environment and just ensuring that everyone on your hike enjoys their time together while also taking amazing pictures of our group. One member of our group loves nature and trees and they indulged her in that and another member of our group loves rocks and so they gladly helped pick out rocks for her collection. They recommend local restaurants for us to try while we were in town!! And the ones we were able to try we absolutely LOVED!! We will definitely be returning back and doing one of the waterfall hikes!! (Google Review)

Suresh M (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Our first day in Chattanooga we had our private tour with Hope and Ryan. We were two adults, a twelve year old and our pet dog Bambi. During these COVID-19 times getting access to Lula Lake and being the only people in the preserve was amazing. Bambi too was happy to be off leash and ruling the lands! Getting up close to Lula Falls was a thrilling experience and heavy rains from the prior week only made this 125-foot waterfall come to raging life. We found both Hope and Ryan super passionate about the outdoors and loving the outcomes of their service. Their knowledge of the area too was very helpful during the rest of our trip, as we explored many restaurants and hiked multiple trails. Ryan is good with his Nikon and captured some wonderful memories for us. We wish them well in their personal and professional journey.”

Justin G (The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We went on the Best of TN tour for an early Valentines get away. It was amazing and we will do it again next time we are in the area. Hope & Ryan were so fun, personable, knowledgeable and nice! They made the tour so much fun. It was a gorgeous hike and we loved seeing the huge waterfall - the weather was perfect. They showed us areas we never would have found on our own as novice hikers.

I cannot recommend this enough! We would do it again in a minute! We have already talked about going back in the fall so we can see all the beautiful foliage. It was a wonderful and memorable experience!!”

“We had an amazing experience with Hope and Ryan on [our] Experience Chattanooga tour. They were extremely professional and most importantly made us feel so welcome.

We hope to have many more adventures with Experience Chattanooga.”

Sue M (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This was our second excursion with Experience Chattanooga and if it's possible, it was even better than the first! Ryan and Hope took us on a hike in the Lula Lake area of Lookout Mountain. The views were amazing and our guides have already become like family! I can't express how much my family loves Ryan and Hope after just 2 outings with them. Don't let the winter season stop you from booking a trip! There is so much beauty in every season! The waterfalls were RAGING!!! The visibility was endless with much of the foliage off the trees. It is the season for the evergreens and the winter berries to shine! They will not disappoint! If it was just the experience itself, it would be well worth the cost, but to top it all off, Experience Chattanooga takes professional quality photos, both candid and posed, and provides all of the photos as digital downloads included in the tour price!” (Google Review)

Suzi W (The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I booked a trip with Experience Chattanooga for our big Honeymoon adventure. My now husband and I love nature, and after losing quite a bit of weight - we decided a hike in the mountains to see a waterfall would be the perfect start to our Honeymoon. We booked the "Best of Tennessee" Experience and it was fantastic!

We stayed away from town, so Ryan and Hope had me park my car in a safe location and drove us to our first stop. Ryan and Hope were so nice and my husband and I felt like we could absolutely be real life friends with them! They gave us local information as we drove out to our hiking spot, telling us really interesting facts about the local area that we - from Michigan, had never seen  before.

When we got to the hiking location, Hope and Ryan were awesome! They made sure we were comfortable, safe and not over-exerted while we did our hike.

The waterfall and the forests were out of this world! Everything was gorgeous and the day was absolutely perfect. The second leg of our trip was a nice easy walk through the woods, to the cliff edge. I've never been so high up before, and I can't wait to go back.

On our way home, we stopped at the oldest bakery in Tennessee. We got moonshine cake and it was delicious. After our tour, Ryan sent me several recommendations for places to eat and things to do in both Chattanooga and Gatlinburg (Where we were spending the second leg of our trip)! He was so thoughtful! The next day, Ryan and Hope sent us a whole bunch of beautiful pictures that we'll have forever!

All in all, we were beyond thrilled with everything about our day with Ryan and Hope. We are so thankful we heard about Experience Chattanooga. We can't wait to come back to book another trip with them.  If you're spending some time in Chattanooga, please please do yourself a favor and book a trip. It's worth it, I promise.
Thank you so much, Ryan and Hope for making our big Honeymoon adventure so memorable!

Jenn B (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I recently went to Chattanooga and was looking for an activity where I could get outside and enjoy the autumn weather but still keep my distance. The Soul Therapy Hike turned out to be the perfect activity. Hiking with Hope and Ryan (both owners and tour guides) was full of easy conversation and laughter, just the breath of fresh air I needed. This hike had it all: beautiful overlooks, autumn leaf sightings, and a stunning waterfall. My favorite part was standing on the side of the bottom of the waterfall and feeling the gust of misty air cover me, truly some soul therapy- this tour was aptly named. I really enjoyed taking a load off and letting someone else worry about the details. They thought of everything from snacks and water to lending me a clean sweater for a chillier morning then I expected. Hope and Ryan also took pictures throughout the hike and knew all the best photo spots. I got to enjoy being in the moment and still come home with amazing pictures and video to remember my hike. Ryan and Hope have created something special with their tours. I definitely want to come back and hike with them in the future!”

Ashley P (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“One of a kind experience! When looking for an outdoor, socially-distanced experience during our trip to Chattanooga, we found Experience Chattanooga and are SO glad we did! Leading up to the trip, it was hard to choose a hike but Hope and Ryan were so helpful through the process (I highly recommend checking out their Instagram before picking a hike) and extremely accommodating with our last minute swap to the Lula Lake tour. They were communicative leading up to the trip and made sure to provide us with all the information we needed to know. The hike itself was gorgeous - and we were the only ones at Lula Lake that day! Ryan and Hope were genuine, friendly, and a pleasure to be on a hike with. It was fun hearing them tell us about the history of Lula Lake and also why they love Chattanooga so much. We never felt rushed throughout the hike and were given lots of time to explore and take in the sights. The photos provided after the trip were breathtaking and will be keepsakes for a lifetime. If we are ever back in Chattanooga we will be taking another hike with Hope and Ryan!” (Google + Tripadvisor Review)

Christine S (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My family and I spent four days in Chattanooga. We all agree that our hike with Hope & Ryan was our favorite part. Communication was on point from the planning email all the way to the high-five goodbye! They were both very knowledgeable and easy to talk to from the beginning. This goes a long way in setting up a comfortable rapport for the day. Especially for our 7 year old. We had different physical abilities in our group, but Hope & Ryan were great about making sure all of us were having a good time. Everything we needed including snacks, water, and raincoats were provided. The hike was beautiful and a lot of fun. Swimming in the waterfall was absolutely amazing. Probably the best part was that we were able to unplug and completely enjoy the experience while still having Ryan’s beautiful pictures to look back on. I would recommend this adventure a thousand times to anyone. I know we will be back and we can’t wait!”

We knew we wanted to hike and it was great to have someone help us that knew where to go, how to get there and that matched our ability level. We never felt rushed or like we had to stick with a strict timetable and we could really enjoy the amazing views. They were easy to communicate with and handled so many details - driving, snacks and water, etc. Another thing we loved is the photos! Ryan got great photos for us so we didn't have to worry about pulling our phones out and we could just really focus on enjoying the experience. Hope and Ryan are really cool and easy to hang with and we look forward to another opportunity to hike with them!” (Google + Tripadvisor Review)

“I took a much needed mental health break recently and my morning was spent with Ryan and Hope. My pup and I did the Good Morning Sunrise Tour. Without a doubt one of the BEST days I’ve had this year. Where do I even start ugh. Ryan and Hope were absolutely fan-stinking-tastic!!!!!! Watching the beautiful sunrise on the mountain, followed by a stress free hike, and as a bonus the clouds were super low that morning, so I was able to reflect and take the beauty all in. The professional pictures were the icing on the cake. Both of them embraced my little pup and took such great care to make sure we both were hydrated and comfortable. Looking forward to our next hike together. I’ve told numerous friends and relatives about hope and Ryan. From the top of my heart thank you both so very much for a phenomenal experience you are absolutely amazing!” (Google + Tripadvisor Review)

“START TO FINISH, ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!
My roommate and I were coming into Chattanooga from Charleston for a show and would only be in town for a very tight window. So we were bummed when we checked their online calendar for bookings and they seemed booked up but I figured there would be no harm in calling. I spoke with Ryan and explained we were only in town for 3 days for my birthday trip and found out that he had the same EXACT birthday and that's why they were not offering any tours during that time, they were planning on going out of town. YA'LL they selflessly opened up a day JUST so I could enjoy a birthday hike! We flew in at 9:30 a.m. and immediately began regretting planning the tour after such a long morning, but got settled and arranged to meet at 11:00 a.m. Ryan and Hope picked us up at the hotel with a car full of water and snacks and the easiest conversation for our drive out. I can not stress enough how genuine, kind and pure these two are as people and you can truly tell that they have a passion for what they are doing. We chose the Best of Tennessee tour, so our first stop was a waterfall that we stopped and swam at for however long and were never rushed. Then we headed to a plateau top with amazing horizon views and some flat rocks that were perfect for photos. The whole time Ryan is taking pictures on his camera and Hope will take them on your phone for you, which really allows you to enjoy your surroundings without trying to document them. The ride back was a nice recap of the day, after being out for 6 hours we were all a little tired, so we just chatted and laughed and sang a bit while looking through photos. Chattanooga has a place in my heart and it's all thanks to these two. Already looking forward to returning in the fall!” (Facebook Recommendation)

“Experience Chattanooga is a must-do on your trip to Chattanooga!! Ryan and Hope were OUTSTANDING and their hiking tour was the highlight of our trip. First off, I have to say how flexible and professional they were. My boyfriend and I booked the completely wrong month and didn’t realize it until the night before. I called Ryan 12 hours before when we thought our tour was and he quickly rearranged their personal schedule to accommodate us so we could see the waterfalls before we went home. I’ve never had that kind of customer service before. They picked us up from our hotel with masks on and plenty of hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, etc available. They also brought water and snacks and even towels for us since they knew we would be swimming! They led us to several beautiful spots including a 60 foot waterfall with a swimming hole. We swam even though the water was freezing and they documented the whole thing and Hope even stayed with our dog on the shore while Ryan got even closer for great pictures! They love dogs and we appreciated how welcoming and sweet they were to our pup! They offered us restaurant recommendations and coupons! They truly love their jobs and their city. Seriously, you have to come meet them and experience this hike! They immediately sent us some photos from their phone and we can’t wait to see the rest of the photos from his camera. 100% recommend and will be a repeat customer. It was so nice to be able to experience the beauty and hike without worrying about taking out my phone for pictures because I knew they had it covered!”

“Hope and Ryan at Experience Chattanooga are an absolute MUST (no if, and, or buts about it). These two are genuine, good people. We scheduled a hike with them on the first full day of my husband and I’s vacation and haven’t quit talking about it since. It was like hanging out with a couple of old friends and not just random strangers. We genuinely felt like we were spending the day chasing an awesome waterfall, experiencing breathtaking views, and engaging in great conversation with people we’ve known for a lifetime.

Ryan & Hope are wonderful at capturing every moment of our tour, from the amazing waterfalls to the breathtaking cliffs.

Seriously, it is hard to pick a favorite part. The entire day was amazing! We started out at 5:30 and saw the sunrise on the east side of Signal Mountain. We then traveled to the other side of the mountain and hiked to a beautiful view of the river seeing caves, swimming holes, and rock formations along the way.”

Paige C (Lula Lake Tour) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My time with Ryan and Hope was simply amazing. I happened to find them while searching hashtags on IG. I was instantly drawn to the "all inclusive" experience that they offer. I appreciated the fact that they offered places off the beaten path and were well acquainted with the area. I knew I would be traveling alone with 4 children (ages 6-10) and was appreciative that they not only provided transportation, but snacks, water, and towels. I didn't have to think about all the things that my children may need on a hike- they had taken care of everything. I also was very interested in the fact that professional photography was included in the price. I didn't have to worry about getting the best shot with my phone ---I could actually enjoy the scenery and be present in nature and with my children. The pictures we received were gorgeous and top grade. I loved that Ryan captured great "photo" ops, but also captured the personality of each of my 4 children with fantastic candid shots. Plus, I got to be in pictures (hello, all your mothers who are always behind the lens) We communicated several times by email and they helped me decide on a location that would best suit my interests. I decided on the Lula Lake Tour. It was a moderate hike to the bluff of Lookout Mountain and then to a beautiful waterfall where my children played for hours. The hike to the waterfall was also moderate. It is a good workout with incredible reward. I found Ryan and Hope to be genuine and kind and very easy to talk to. They are quite a dynamic duo, and I wish them well on this business. If you want to do something a little different and off the "tourist" map, I would highly recommend them.” (Google Review)

I happened upon their Facebook page by chance and am so glad I did. They were very personable and knowledgeable. Our private hike to Lula Lake, Lula Falls and bluff trail was the prettiest views I’ve ever seen. Even a little rain didn’t stop us. I cannot wait to see the pictures Ryan took and very highly recommend them if you are headed to Chattanooga.”

“First of all, I don't know why you need to read a review for Experience Chattanooga, just DO IT!! But if you've read this far I'll sell you on it. I don't know that we will ever be able to say enough good things about Hope and Ryan. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations! The website/booking process was informative and it was easy to communicate with them if I had any questions. We met up with Hope and Ryan in downtown Chattanooga and were at Lula Lake in no time. They told us all about the history of Lula Lake and we soon realized how lucky we were to have the entire place to ourselves! From the scenic views up top to the waterfall at the bottom, we were the only ones there! Having the entire property to ourselves was a huge selling point for me because I wanted to make it a special day for my girlfriend and I. Ryan was able to capture the whole day perfectly and set us up for the perfect photo opportunity at the end. The waterfall at the end was a great way to cool off on a hot day also! Once we got back to Chattanooga they provided us with discount cards for local restaurants! The whole trip was flawless and resulted in a weekend that we will cherish forever. Hope and Ryan truly have a passion for the outdoors as well as supporting local business in TN! Water, snacks, transportation, photography all provided! Where else are you going to find an experience like that! Check them out on social media also! Whether you're looking for a short day trip or a weekend adventure BOOK IT with Experience Chattanooga!” (Google Review)

Tressia S (The Best of Tennessee) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“BEST hiking experience!! Hope and Ryan made us feel like we were hiking w instant friends. They were very accommodating to adjusting the pick up time to meet our check out time from a local stay. We went on the Best of TN trails. Ryan was wonderful in taking pics and Hope was very knowledgeable of history in the area. They gave us time to linger in each place. We did not feel rushed. They engaged in conversation at our leading meaning we felt free to enjoy the silence of nature. They brought towels and snacks. I am a little afraid of heights so he was able to bring us to places that allowed me to enjoy breathing views and beautiful photos within my "height aware comfort zone" lol. Hope held my sweatshirt and hat in her backpack part of the way when weather got warmer and would give a heads up on rocks that were slippery or loose or tree roots to be careful of. Ryan took photos when we didn't even realize he was near that captured personal moments of reflection. I made a joke about a tree that looked like Treebeard from LOTR and was very pleased to find out later that Ryan picked up on that personal nod and took a photo of that tree as part of our photo experience. We stopped by a cute little bakery and great conversation on the way home. I would definitely recommend and return.” (Yelp Review)

Zulett C (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We want to give a big shout-out to Ryan and Hope from Experience Chattanooga for being our guides yesterday while we visited [a Tennessee waterfall]. If you ever want to experience the falls near Chattanooga, I highly recommend them. They take care of it all, transportation, water, snacks and even photograph your adventure so all you have to worry about is taking in all the natural beauty you are surrounded by. Even with the current Covid-19 situation they are taking every precaution recommended during this time. We chose to meet them at the falls but they can pick you up as well (Chattanooga area). The safe distance is followed as well during the hiking so you don’t have to worry about any of that. Thank you Ryan and Hope!

Kathrina M (Chattanooga’s Best) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Where to even begin this review?!?!?! Ryan and Hope were so helpful from the beginning. I emailed them asking for advice on which tour to do because I was going to bring my dogs. We exchanged a few emails and picked one. The hike was so perfect. It wasn’t too easy or too hard. The dogs loved it and the view was so worth it. Never felt rushed. We stayed at the outlook for way longer than I was expecting (which I thoroughly enjoyed). They helped with the pups and Hope even walked one of my dogs pretty much the entire hike. And don’t get me started on the pictures. Seriously going to be some of my most cherished memories. The photos are beautiful. Ryan and Hope are beautiful. The whole experience was beautiful. Also, just gonna throw it out there that their little business speaks to this millennials heart in that they offered photos and I didn’t feel like I needed to take too many and could fully enjoy the experience. Highly recommend. Worth every penny and probably more to be honest. Thanks again and hope to return someday with my husband next time!” (Facebook Recommendation)

Andrew D (Fun in the Falls) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“One of the best trips I have ever been on! This was a surprise get away trip for my wife and we loved every minute of it.
Ryan and Hope are absolutely amazing and we can’t say enough good things about the two of them. It was a very professional yet personal experience. They took us to two different waterfalls and told us all about the area. During the trip we were able to explore and just take everything in while Ryan took photos for us so we didn’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying our trip.
If you are looking for a day trip I would 100% recommend booking with Experience Chattanooga. Hands down the best trip/experience I have been on in a long time. Ryan and Hope are wonderful and I would give them a 10/10!
We look forward to doing another trip with them in the fall to see more of their favorite spots and enjoy the beauty that Chattanooga has to offer!” (Google Review)

Kyle H (One to Write Home About) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I LOVED my experience! I contacted Hope & Ryan a few months before my trip to Chattanooga and I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do or what was around. I was planning a solo adventure; which made me super nervous. I was worried it was going to be super awkward... but it turned out to be the best decision ever. We did a custom tour that I kept changing and I was so appreciative to how helpful they were in accommodating!
But then when it came time for the tour itself- OMG!
It was so lovely to meet them and talk to them on a good long drive to the first destination. They had snacks and water which was perfect for a healthy breakfast before we went hiking all day. When we arrived to the first waterfall I was super excited. Hope & Ryan were so great at making me feel comfortable and hyped up! Ryan was taking amazing pictures while I talked to Hope to get to know her and the area. We took some more pictures when we got to the waterfall and while Hope and I swam. Then all 3 of us got in and we became friends! I wasn't being hosted on a tour... I was just hanging out with two amazing people at a waterfall.
We went to an adorable bakery en route to another waterfall. This was a nice rest stop that did have amazing sweets! Then the waterfall was the best thing ever. We got really lucky with water-flow, as they kept saying. We had an equally great time there and when we left we took a different way out and found a secret third waterfall. This one though, we were on top of. They didn't rush me at all. After this they provided some sandwiches for lunch which floored me. They were so kind!
Our third destination was a beautiful overlook. After the initial looking around, asking questions, and taking photos; we sat down and just relaxed. We talked forever and just really got to know each other. I had completely forgotten at this point I paid for this experience. I was so content. It was so nice to be able to just relax and be driven to these places and not having to think or know the area. I tried doing research beforehand and was overwhelmed. But Experience Chattanooga Now makes seeing the best sights in Chattanooga a breeze!
Overall, Hope & Ryan are the best people in Chattanooga. They gave me an experience I'll never forget with photos to accompany those memories. I can't wait to return during a different season and book with them again :)
Thank you Hope & Ryan!! ☺️” (Facebook Recommendation)

Not having to worry about taking pictures was awesome, as well. We highly recommend hiking with Experience Chattanooga - it is like hiking with old friends!!! :)” (Google Review)

Holly D (Dealer’s Choice) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Sometimes it's so easy to create a bubble and routine that you rarely get out of. Hope and Ryan with Experience Chattanooga are the perfect duo to help escape those self created boundaries. My birthday was earlier this week and I'm at the age where experiences are far better than presents. We decided to get out and explore our city, but not being a native to the area made it challenging. We reached out to EC and they made special accommodations with their calendar, thus creating one of the fullest and blessed birthdays I've ever had. We chose the dealer's choice package which I highly recommend because you get to go to two locations. Started with a hike to watch the sunrise…and then took a small ride…to swim around a massive 60 foot waterfall. All we had to do was show up at the meeting place. Hope and Ryan had snacks/breakfast provided, towels, bug spray, and best of all, they are experienced photographers to help capture the moments so we weren't distracted with technology. Additionally, they were very patient, allowing us to soak up the scenery and play at our own pace and were also cognizant of any potential safety issues. (Where rocks or stepping areas might be slippery). They offer several different options of tours and my husband and I are already looking at the calendar to plan another outing!” (Google Review)

Desiree G (Soul Therapy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My husband and I took a road trip with friends to Chattanooga and booked a hike for my birthday. We originally booked a sunset hike but due to rain in the forecast Ryan & Hope suggested switching to a waterfall hike which we were happy to do. The day before, our two friends decided they wanted to come along as well and Ryan & Hope were happy to add them on! The hike was UHmazing! The pouring rain didn't stop us from taking this hike, in fact it made it more majestic as the waterfalls were so full and intense! Both R & H were amazed at the waterfalls as well! We all shared the experience and photographed it all! I will definitely recommend Experience Chattanooga to friends and family and will DEFINITELY be booking another hike whenever we visit Chattanooga again. IT'S A MUST! It's an experience up there with Rock City & Ruby Falls, BETTER even because it's a personal tour, with you & your group and your tour guides (R&H). It makes it that much more special! I couldn't have asked for a more better birthday experience! Thank you Ryan & Hope for a great experience! I will definitely be talking about those waterfalls and our experience til our next hike!” (Google Review)

Melanie G (Wandering, Not Lost) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Hello, travelers, If you want to see the incredible views that Chattanooga has to offer then you need to book a hike with Hope and Ryan. They are the owners and tour guides of Experience Chattanooga. I have gone on four hikes with them and enjoyed myself on every single one of them. I have seen breathtaking views, swam towards waterfalls and hiked about 4-5 miles on rocky terrain . If you wish to enjoy nature and not worry about gas, how to get to hiking trails or taking great pictures then book with Experience Chattanooga because on every hike they will provide transportation and professional photographs.” (Tripadvisor Review)

Johnathan R (Good Morning Mountains & Chattanooga’s Best) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We had a great Sunday hike with Ryan and Hope! We started out on [one mountain] followed by a hike on [another mountain] totaling around 6 miles. It was a great time and the weather was pleasant for a fantastic hike. There was a beautiful rolling fog that morning allowing for wonderful pictures of our hike as a family. Ryan’s amazing photos combined with Hope’s knowledge of the local trails provided a great time for all. They are extremely personable and treat you like family. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone as they can customize your experience to any level. They were also great with the kids as we collected leaves, hiked through caves, and dipped our feet in the cool streams of [the] mountain. Another bonus was they picked us up from our hotel for the trip. This was one of our favorite Chattanooga experiences and we really enjoyed our time with Ryan and Hope! We will be back!” (Google Review)

We saw 2 waterfalls, epic clouds moving through the mountains, [swinging] bridge, beautiful leaves, hike, peaceful sights...But even more impressive was the trip was perfectly organized by Hope & Ryan. Both [were] outstanding - passionate about what they do, informative, engaging, thoughtful. The itinerary was very well thought of (safe transportation, snacks, water, rain coats, professional photography). Although it started to rain, [they] went out of their way to make our trip special. They are by far the best tour operator we [have] traveled with. Highly recommend! And already planning for another one with them!” (Google Review)

Lily O (Chattanooga’s Best) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I found Experience Chattanooga while searching Chattanooga related hashtags on Instagram. I was amazed by the breathtaking pictures at their site and great reviews. What made me decide to book the tour is the inclusion of professional photography. I haven’t seen any other tour in Chattanooga that includes photography in the package. But more than these spectacular photos, is the amazing experience of the tour with the two genuinely helpful and expert tour guides.
I didn’t anticipate that the weather [would] be in the low 40’s which is like a freezing temp for me 😊, but Hope and Ryan were kind enough to lend their extra jacket, beanie, and hot tea to keep me warm.
The whole experience exceeded my expectations, and I feel like I gained friends in this adventure. I enjoyed the beautiful sunrise in the mountains, some fall colors, the scenery and [being] present in nature.”

“Experience Chattanooga was the best part of our vacation! Our guides, Ryan and Hope led us on a sunrise hike up Signal Mountain. We saw amazing views, crossed a swinging bridge, saw waterfalls and crossed creeks! Ryan took candid photos and family photos all along the way, which he shared with us the same day. We never would have seen the views and experienced the mountain like this if we hadn't booked this outing with Experience Chattanooga. Ryan and Hope were so friendly and easy going. Our 7 year old son thinks the world of both of them and so do we. Not only did they make the first day of our vacation absolutely stellar, they gave us suggestions of things to do and coupons to fantastic restaurants that we wouldn't have found on our own. Book them early on in your stay, you won't regret it! Oh and if you're reading this Ryan and Hope, watch for us come fall! I want a repeat!” (Google Review)

I knew I wanted to schedule a tour with them after seeing these amazing photos on Instagram... little did I know that professional photos would be part of our package! Not having to worry about making sure we got great photos (because Ryan had that covered) was a bigger relief than I imagined and really helped us to enjoy the tour more fully. Along with being picked up and driven to our destination with a car full of snacks and water and great conversation, they were so knowledgeable about the area we toured and had fun stories to share along the way. I love how many tour options they have and can't wait to bring our kids back to experience some more!

Michelle G (Sunrise Serenity) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WOW!!! I highly recommend Experience Chattanooga if you’re looking for a unique thing to do in Chatt, other than your typical “touristy” attractions. I’m a local & Hope & Ryan took me to a spot I hadn’t ever even been to before for our sunrise hike!

Going on a tour with these guys is like going hiking with your friends. They’re incredibly personable, welcoming, & they know what they’re doing. Transportation to & from is included so we didn’t have to worry about that aspect & I love that pro photography is part of the package as well. We got our photos back the next day & they are stunning!

The hike itself was easy (which is what we opted for because we’re not super outdoorsy) but they offer varying levels from easy to more difficult ones. Hope & Ryan want everyone to get the most out of the experience so when we realized that our tour was during Iron Man weekend, they changed the initial destination at the last minute to ensure we weren’t going to be watching a sunrise with 20 other early morning hikers :) The spot they chose was just as beautiful & we had it all to ourselves & had such an amazing time. I can’t recommend this company enough so I’m telling everyone (locals & out-of-townies alike) to just GO! You won’t be disappointed!” (Facebook Recommendation)

“This was the highlight of my trip to Chattanooga! It was awesome to go on a beautiful hike with people who already know the area and all the best spots like this awesome rock you can jump off of! I'd highly recommend the Soul Therapy tour for anyone like me who has always wanted to try a little cliff jump :)

I'm so excited to be able to have professional pictures from the hike, especially since I went to Chattanooga as a solo adventure and wouldn't have had many good ones of myself. It gives me something beautiful to remember my trip by, and it's included in the price of the tour! Most tourist places charge $10 to $40 just for one posed photo, so my friend was really surprised when I told her I didn't have to pay extra for these!

Thank you guys for the experience, I will most definitely be coming back later this year!

Anna R (Sunrise Serenity) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I've been coming to Chattanooga for a few years on business and have always wanted to see some nature spots, but being a woman alone I'd never felt comfortable to venture out on my own. On my latest trip I decided to google guided hikes in Chattanooga and this is how I found Experience Chattanooga tours! I called and spoke with Ryan and from that first call I felt immediately comfortable and at ease. We booked a sunrise tour for the following morning! I explained to Ryan exactly what I wanted out of the tour - some alone time to reflect in nature - he seemed to know exactly what I needed and told to me it would be fine to bring my yoga mat and take that time for myself. From the 6am pick up at my hotel, and a wonderful chat on the way to our destination, then the most breathtaking view and spot I've ever seen, and having the time to take some alone time in nature ..it was all just so perfect. The fantastic photos that Ryan sent me the next day were an added and unexpected bonus to what was one of my most memorable outings ever.
I highly recommend Ryan and EC - he is a wonderful young man who clearly loves what he does and makes every effort to make sure you enjoy your outing and that it's truly memorable. Who he is as a person shines through and makes the trip even more enjoyable and special. I cant wait to come back and do another outing with Ryan and Hope when next in town!! You will not be disappointed.. this will be the most amazing part of your trip to Chattanooga:))” (Facebook Recommendation)

“Myself and my husband had an absolutely fantastic day with Hope and Ryan when we completed our hike with them. We had to plan the hike from the UK and the guys were a great help, giving us lots of information ahead of our visit including tips about the weather and what to wear. This was so helpful to us as were traveling for quite a few weeks so it was nice to know what to expect and be able to pack accordingly. The hike itself was amazing, they guys know a lot about the local area and the best hidden gems. We had to slightly alter the original plan due to weather and they did a fantastic job of last minute improvisation and we got to see a few places rather than the original one.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day it was a great way to see the beautiful scenery and Hope and Ryan are a lovely couple to spend the day with. We would highly recommend this to visitors and tourists alike as you will not regret it . Thanks you both so much :)” (Google Review)

“Hope and Ryan were amazing tour guides for our first time hiking in Chattanooga! They were very personable and made our experience very enjoyable. We enjoyed our experience as much as their company! They took us to see a beautiful sunrise and a little hike to see a gorgeous waterfall. They also took pictures/videos of the entire experience for us which was great! It really allowed us to be in the moment and soak in the scenery without having to worry about capturing each moment. They also gave great recommendations for food and things to do/see in the area. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is planning a visit or any locals who just want something to do with great people!”

“It was a great experience! Hope and Ryan were knowledgeable, funny, and kind. They were also prepared and organized. I didn't get to see the sunrise because of cloudy weather but I did get to see the city lights flashing. On the start point of the hike I got to see many deers and even a white tail deer. The hike had beautiful views and it also was calming when you get to the boulder. I can't wait for the next hike!”
