Jeep Tour & Scenic Photo Ops with an Expert Guide in the Smoky Mountains

Mindy was our jeep tour guide. She was wonderful and provided lots of information to us. The Smokies were full of colorful fall foliage and Mindy made sure we got some great pictures at the overlooks. We even saw a black bear cub crossing the road, turkeys and even a waterfall!

We saw TWELVE bears!! GREAT tour! Guide - David - was both informative and humorous, kept us entertained the entire 2.5 hrs. He took pictures for us, answered all our questions and was a great guide!

Mark 2 was our tour guide. (There are 3 Marks) very knowledgeable of the National park and surrounding area. History from. Native. The off-roading was fantastic. Learned so much from him. Great experience!!!

As a someone who grew up in Appalachia, I wasn't expecting this tour to be anything too crazy... I was so, so, so, so, so unbelievably wrong! This was such a fun experience, and you better hope and pray you get David as your tour guide. He was phenomenal as a guide and representative of this region. He was personable, funny and so knowledgeable. I would come back and do this 100 times if it meant I got to ride around with him! Thank you David for all your time, love for nature and conservation!

Our guide Mindy was Awesome! A very informative trip. Much better than driving it yourself. A lot of history of the area and of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My wife and I were the only people that hadn’t seen a bear yet. Mindy did everything but promise to find us some. She had to use her secret place, but she found them! The pictures should suffice (front porch is a mom and two cubs!)! Awesome experience, highly recommend Mindy and the tour!

We had a great experience on our tour. Mark K (Mark #2) was our driver/guide and he was very knowledgable about everything. He shared the interesting history of Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. He also had some pretty cool black bear stories and videos that he shared with us. He also went the extra mile to spot a black bear and we were able to catch a black bear sleeping. He was very attentive, asking frequently if we needed anything and making sure we watched our footing on the rocky areas while outside of the jeep. Everyone in the family enjoyed themselves; which consisted of my two boys and elderly mom. Definitely would recommend this trip if in the area.

I can’t say enough great things about the Jeep tour. Our guide, David, was incredible! He gave us so much great information for our trip about local places to visit and historical facts about the smoky mountains! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Did the 3 hour Foothills tour with Mark and he was awesome! He was funny, gave some interesting history and was great about checking in with everyone to see if people were doing alright. Definitely recommend the tour and Mark as a driver! Beautiful scenery!

We had a great time on our jeep tour, our tour guide David was amazing, went above and beyond and gave lots of interesting facts about the Smokys and was happy to answer any questions we had. He even gave a good restaurant recommendation for food in Gatlinburg.

Our tour guide Mindy was amazing! Her background and prior work experience in the national parks made her a true expert. She was kind, funny, and I loved her stories. And she is no delicate flower. When we hit the off road trail there was no fear in her driving! Great way to spend an afternoon, see amazing places I would not have found on my own, and learning history. Thanks for a great time!

We really didn't know what to expect when we booked the tour. It turned out to be a fun experience, especially with Rich and Meatball. Rich was a very knowledgeable tour guide and even gave us suggestions about where to eat in the area. He knew the history of the park and really seems to enjoy his work. Meatball was such a delight. He is such a well behaved and happy dog. He knows the tour as well as Rich does. We would take one of the other tours you have the next time we come back.
