Finn was a great tour guide. She knew the area well. She went at my pace and helped me decide what to visit for the rest of my visit!!
I did the Knoxville Underground Donut/Sweet Treats tour and it did not disappoint. It's an awesome mix of local history, cool street art (the murals in Strong Alley are gorgeous), and a ton of baked goods. We tried everything from melt-in-your-mouth beignets to local bakery cookies and biscuits. The guide was incredibly friendly and gave us great insider tips for other restaurants to try while in town. My only piece of advice? Wear comfortable walking shoes and maybe skip breakfast!

What a great addition to Knoxville Market square. I’ve lived here for 26 years and didn’t know about the places we visited today. Wonderful experience and great treats :)

So much fun!! Our tour guide Finn was so personable, witty, and knowledgeable. All the goodies were really yummy and the workers were very receptive to our group. Definitely recommend the coffee at Coffee and Chocolate!! And stack up on the beignets in advance so you can handle the sweetness 😋 Definitely would recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth!
