This trip begins as we pickup at our location in Gatlinburg, TN. We travel in comfortable and eco-friendly vans to our first stop at the remains of a long-gone resort town dating back more than 100 years. We'll learn about the history of logging in the Smokies, the lives of the early Appalachian pioneers, and the founding of the national park. From here we'll travel up the mountains on one of the most scenic roads in the southeast. Along the way we'll stop at scenic overlooks for pictures, questions, and interpretation of the area. Finally we arrive at Newfound Gap and the 5,000 foot-high boarder between Tennessee and North Carolina. Here we will learn about the 2,200 mile-long Appalachian Trail and the the site where President Franklin Roosevelt gave the park dedication in 1940.

We visited the Great Smokey Mountain National Park on Nov. 26, 2025. We desired to view and learn about this part of God's creation and were blessed with Lydia as our guide. We were surprised to receive a text from Lydia the day before our tour stating she was looking forward to being our guide. We responded we were looking forward to the tour as well, that Larry used a walker and if that would be a problem. Lydia responded that would not be a problem at all; she would accommodate us. Lydia was thoughtful, friendly, very knowledgeable about the park and an excellent driver; truly a very professional guide. She made our tour, our visit to the Great Smokey Mountain National Park an enjoyable experience. Larry & Vanessa Chase, Chesapeake, VA.

My visit to the Smoky Mountains was truly memorable, and much of that was due to our exceptional tour guide, Lydia. The scenery was stunning from misty ridgelines to peaceful forest trails but Lydia’s presence made the experience even more meaningful. She shared her knowledge with clarity and enthusiasm, offering insights into the region’s history, wildlife, and hidden viewpoints without ever overwhelming us. Her warm personality, thoughtful pacing, and genuine passion for the Smokies created an atmosphere that felt both welcoming and engaging. Lydia brought the landscape to life in a way that made the entire tour feel personal and unforgettable. I would highly recommend both the tour and Lydia to anyone visiting the Smoky Mountains.

We went on a Saturday morning there was 5 of us my husband myself and our 3 kids (8,3,and 17 months) Our driver Wes was wonderful! He was knowledgeable-informative-funny! He included our kids in the fun and even had them laughing as well! Our kids and us absolutely loved the tour epically our 8 year old, they giggled about it all day! The conversations were more like hanging out with an old buddy then a tour guide, and the places you see are absolutely beautiful and breathtaking! HIGHLY recommend!

Phillip was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, had stories about everything, and made sure we got to see what we wanted. Didn't see any bears that day. Would like to have done a little hiking but we did see the ghost town. Have to go back and explore that more. It was nice to not have to drive and let someone else do it
Highly recommend for experienced tour guide.

Our tour guide, Wes, was extremely knowledgeable about the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. He gave insights on the wildlife, hiking and camping options, as well as the history of how the area developed into its present-day status. He was personable and patient with each member of the tour. While technically the park had some closures (snow/ice and government shutdown), he still provided us with what felt like a behind the scenes tour - highlighting areas we may have otherwise missed.
