What travellers are saying
- DonnaMint Hill, NC3 contributionsBeing in the Great Smoky Mountains does one's soul good. Breathe in the fresh air.
Take in the beautiful sights. Shhhh....quiet and you'll see the native wildlifeWritten March 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - nancymL625KKBaton Rouge, LA38 contributionsWe had a lovely time on this 5-hr tour of Cade’s Cove. We were met promptly at the designated coffee shop in Townsend. We were able to leave our car there free of charge. (Recommend trying one of the great coffee offerings there before or after your tour.) We were pleased to find we’d be taking the tour in a comfortable 12 seat van. We were the only 2 people on this particular tour. Our guide, Kindel, was very knowledgeable of the Cove, friendly, and all-around excellent, She customized the entire tour to our preferences. We chose which attractions we wanted to get out of the van and go in to see. Kindel provided info and history on each of the vintage cabins, churches and other buildings on the tour, giving us an idea of what life must have been like for early settlers in the Cove. She was also well versed on the terrain and forested areas we passed, pointing out and identifying many trees, flowers and special natural features. We stopped and had lunch (which we had arranged for the tour to provide) at one of the historic cabins that is less visited. We sat on the front porch, enjoying our lunch and engaging conversation with our guide. We were returned to our car on time, having had an an informative, personalized, enjoyable, and just wonderful experience of Cade’s Cove. Highly recommend.Written March 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Julia B10 contributionsTour guide was super informative. The stops were a good mix, and the views were truly stunning. Would highly recommend.Written November 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WickedWaltBaton Rouge, LA387 contributionsThe Heritage Center provides a great background on the people and culture that have inhabited the Smokey Mountains. The exhibitions about the Native people give a fairly thorough history of the early years of inhabitation. The 13 historic buildings give a better understanding how the more recent pioneers in the. Area lived. They total experience gives one a better appreciation of the people land history of the area.Written December 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James SAustin, TX238 contributionsThis tour took us to places to see colors and the driver had checked out the places ahead of time. However, the vehicle that was used meant that getting everyone in made it very crowded. People (us) who had to sit in back needed to crawl over the others.Written July 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- travel2986Phoenix, AZ13 contributionsI took the Appalachian Waterfalls Trail Hike with Mark today 10/29/24. I had a fantastic tour and Mark was very accommodating to my needs. The tour overall was roughy about 3 hours long and we had a chance to view the Spruce Flat Falls. Mark was an expert guide and had all the necessities with him- including hiking sticks, water and snacks with a backpack to store any jackets etc. The hike was easy to moderate and we took a few short breaks. Overall it was a fantastic day with great weather and I really enjoyed it! Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to tour the Smoky Mountains National Park.Written October 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
