Enjoyed our experience in the West Village. Alex is a great guide and shared a lot of fun facts and some favorite eateries around Chattanooga which we appreciated. However, the tour could be improved. Our last stop was closed (due to power?) so we went back to gilman’s—but they weren't expecting us. A bit awkward. We got split up between 2 tables…ok we’re flexible. Even though my favorite food was at the Westin, I would have preferred to walk to a different eatery since we already dined and checked out the upstairs. Our tour ended up eating 4 times at 2 buildings across the street from each other. I enjoyed the umbrella alley…Perhaps also a little tour of the Read House hotel? Or walk to the church that was 2 stories underground? It was just a half block away. Hope your other tours are a bit more expansive.
Also, Alex spent a while trying to contact his boss about whether our Westin dining included an alcohol drink. It took up a bit of time and was awkward waiting to hear back which I don’t think he ever got an answer. So no drink which was fine, just made the tour feel unorganized. Alex mentioned that the MLK tour was a favorite, but it’s not offered currently.
