    3. Ocoee River whitewater rafting trip with riverside lunch

    5.0· 123 reviews· 6 hours

    Full-day guided rafting on the Ocoee River, ideal for groups and families, includes a riverside lunch.

    Quest is an excellent rafting company that we’ve used twice. They prioritize safety, and our guide, Tim, was outstanding. We even used our skills to help another guest who fell out and rescued a park ranger in need of medical supplies. One unforgettable moment was when an osprey swooped into our raft and went down the rapids with us, marking our guide's first bird rescue. At Quest, you never feel like just another guest; they ensure your safety and provide an exceptional experience. The food at the Apricot Cafe is fantastic—definitely try the fried pickles after your trip.Voyage557712

  4. Rydables History Tour in Chattanooga — scooter tour of city landmarks, Chattanooga7

    7. Rydables History Tour in Chattanooga — scooter tour of city landmarks

    4.6· 37 reviews· 1.5 hours

    One and a half hours on stuffed-animal scooters — explore Chattanooga's history, including the Walnut Street Bridge and Bluff View Arts district, with photo stops and local stories.

    The rideables were enjoyable and simple to handle. Our tour guide was excellent and well-informed. I rated it three stars due to my booking being rescheduled twice. While the first change was understandable, upon arriving at the new time, we discovered it had been delayed by another 30 minutes without prior notification. Given the ongoing inconvenience, we should have been offered some discount. This experience makes me hesitant to book again.fidellep
