It was a wonderful tour! We experienced the opportunity to really explore Chattanooga and learn many things about the city that we never would have come to know without this tour attraction. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared a variety of the cities amenities and historical facts. The train ride was just as awesome. Highly recommend this as a small romantic getaway. The Mayan Kitchen was 5 Star as well with Great food and service, special thanks to our waiter Chase.
