    The commentary was great and very informative! Lunch in the dining car well worth the additional $ and the service was very nice.

    Ruby falls was beautiful. I wish we didn't do the "express" tour. It was very rushed. I would have liked to have more time to take in the beauty along the walk to the falls and take pictures. Stopping to let other groups go by also took up time. We only had 7 people in our group and it was still rushed. I had to take pictures while we ran through the caverns but we did get 5 minutes to take pictures of the beautiful falls.

    Sunday morning walk across the bridge, plenty of seats if you need a rest or just to admire the views. A pleasant walk to help with your 10k steps

    So much to do! Fun for a variety of ages. We were there over two hours and still didn't see everything. We went on a Friday, and it wasn't too crowded.

    This is a great place. Fantastic atmosphere, several whiskey options, great folks working there. You don’t have to do the tour - just sample some whiskey and buy a bottle on the way out. Cheers!

    This is a nice park at the north end of the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge. Check out all the unusual animals on the beautiful antique carousel and ride it if you’re young at heart! There’s a fountain/spray park with stone carved animals the kids can climb on. Nearby shops include ice cream, coffee, souvenir and cafes. The weekend we were there, the world disc dog competition was being held. A lovely green space!

    This was a beautiful cemetary. We just drove around for about 15-20 minutes as it was the wnd if the day, but it would be a great place to get out and walk around. Great history here!

    It's not *quite* a major city art museum, but the selections are well curated and any number would hold their own in larger galleries on the quality of the work vs name of the artist. Building itself is by a Ghery student and it certainly shows. Agree wonderful views and you can shoot the building from a the pedestrian bridge across the river as well. Slight disappointment in the hstoric house - it's really just been carved into galleries, and while the staircase/entrance remains, you don't get that much of a sense of this building as it once was. Still, appreciation for having preserved it. I was actually in Chatanooga for something else but adjusted my day to spend more time at the Hunter.
