The trip was amazing! The waterfalls were beautiful. Our 2 guides were so kind and knowledgeable. They gave information about the area and the different falls and answered questions that anyone had. But they also gave us quiet time to enjoy our peaceful, beautiful surroundings. The lunch stop was an added bonus! The food was great!

Fantastic way to get into nature while visiting Nashville

Jannette_M, Sep 2025

There were 8 of us including our guide Jacob. On time pick up, comfortable transport. Really well organized hikes and exactly what we were hoping for! The last waterfall was amazing! Jacob is friendly and easy to talk to. He would benefit from brushing up on his nature knowledge: birds, insects, etc. The tavern was very good and we enjoyed talking to the other hikers. I highly recommend!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad the Waterfall Wonders tour was just what you were hoping for and that the hikes, waterfalls, and tavern stop all made for a memorable day.

Awesome experience! Highly recommend bringing water shoes for the waterfall as there are very sharp rocks. Don’t forget a towel to dry off and a change of clothes!

We had a great time on this trip. Both Jacob and Chayton were friendly and knowledgeable. The hike at the old stone fort was nice and recommends to everyone who likes waterfalls and hiking. Rutledge falls was a cool place to visit and is also recommended. The lunch at Common Johns brewery was also good and worth mentioning. Overall the trip was lot of fun and I recommend it to all travellers looking for outdoor fun. Jacob and Chayton, thanks to you for making the trip comfortable and fun. Hope to see you guys again. Jacob I wish you success in music scene.

Great for solo travelers

Maria_F, Jul 2025

This was the highlight of my day. Dylan and Jacob were professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. The complimentary lunch was the cherry on top! My sandwich was delicious and so was the beer made right there at the brewery. I would do this again in a heartbeat. 10/10 experience.

Fun tour-great waterfalls-great lunch stop

Kari_L, Oct 2024

Jordan was a great guide. He gave us information on what to expect and insights into the history and geography of the area. The waterfalls were beautiful, it was a fun adventure out of the city and nice to have the tour set up and planned for us, so we just had to show up. The brewery where we had lunch (included in the cost of the tour) was great, too. Good food, friendly staff and a large selection of beer. I could have just hung out there all afternoon.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Proposal...YES!

David_H, Sep 2024

Jordan was awesome. He helped me propose!!!! Jordan was responsive, excited, and recommended the best spot for my proposal. The hike was pretty easy for us, but it was nice to get away from the city and be active. The waterfalls were beautiful, especially the final one. We got to spend time at each one to take it all in and enjoy what nature has to offer. Jordan and I planned out the proposal setting and he helped record, direct, and show me where to do everything. This was such a great moment in my life and everything turned out great.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

What an awesome story! We're so glad to hear that your hiking guide, Jordan could play such an important role in your proposal. It sounds like he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for you. The waterfalls and the whole setting definitely are incredible, and we're so glad that you could take it all in while creating such a memorable moment. Thanks for sharing this special experience with us, and congratulations on your engagement!

FUN FUN FUN!!

Melanie_H, Sep 2024

This tour was a perfect escape from the touristy things to do in Nashville. The waterfalls were beautiful to look at and peaceful to listen to. Lunch was very basic but good and the restaurant was clean. Jordan was very informative, helpful (had bug spray, towels, etc) and was an all-around nice guy.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Y’all gotta go

Ross_S, Jun 2024

Guides are important on a hike. Jordan and India were perfect- knowledgeable, caring, patient, personable, and fun to be with. Swimming at the largest waterfall was a real plus. Get away from downtown Nashville and enjoy the beauty of Tennessee.
