Our driver, Mark, was kind, courtesy and a most knowledgeable guide. Van was clean, and comfortable with large windows. Picture stops, bathroom breaks and some snack and water. Highly recommend this tour.
Jay was awesome, friendly, extremely knowledgeable even with our endless questions about the smoky mountains. Really enjoyed the trip, and chatting with Jay about life in the Smoky Mountains, and I if about the history of Gatlinburg and
This self guided tour of the smokies was amazing! There was plenty of time given to make sure the proper turns were made and the guide provides estimated times that each stop will take. The guidance of how long hikes will take, along with capability levels was helpful, too! The stories made the drive even more interesting. This is so affordable and well put together.
