We loved the Sights of the Smoky Mountains tour! Dustin was our tour guide. His family has lived in the Smoky Mountains for 200 years. He has lived in the area his whole life, and he had so many great stories about the area and its history. It was great to not only see various sights and historical places in the mountains, but also that he explained the history behind everything as well. We learned so much about the area! Dustin also gave us great suggestions of places to visit in the area and to eat during out vacation. I highly recommend this tour! It was fun and informative, and the mountain views were absolutely beautiful!!

Thank you so much for the review. I'm glad you had fun on your tour and that you learned a lot from me. Nothing makes me more happy than to share our history and heritage with folks like you. Doctors save lives, pastors save souls, I save the culture of our mountain families by sharing their stories passed down to me through the generations. Telling my mamaw's stories brings joy and happiness, knowing you all had a great time just makes the whole thing that much better.

What a wonderful day! Our tour with Dustin is exactly what we had hoped for! Dustin was so welcoming and you could tell that he was just so proud of his state and his family history in the area. We loved his stories of his family and his heritage. He was a wealth of information about the Great Smoky Mountains, and its history. This is a must do tour if you are in the Pigeon Forge area. We also appreciated Dustin giving us his must visit area restaurants. The Old Mill Restaurant was just as he said.....FABULOUS and local! But go early, if you don't want to wait in line!

This was a really nice tour and a good time, however it was not a full day and didn't include lunch as advertised.
