We booked The Sights of the Smokies tour and are glad we did. Our guide Matt was excellent, very informative and fun. Tour starts at their office in a shopping plaza and can be a little hard to find, it is a few shops down from Cooters. Tour was great with plenty of stops for pictures and an included lunch stop at Elvira’s Cafe. This is a great tour to see main sights of the Smokies!

Tour guide was good. Bus was not clean and smelly. Lunch stop was average. Wish it would have gone to the cove instead of shopping

The busses are cleaned daily, I'm glad it was not smelly and the lunch depends on your personal tastes, it's a free meal at one of the top reviewed restaurants in the area. We are a tour company not a lunch company but of the 1000+ people who have taken the tour only maybe 2 people have called it anything less than fantastic, you being one of the two. That being the case either 1000+ plus people are wrong or .... anyhow, yes the Cove is really wonderful and very pretty. We have a tour that goes there as well but it's all full. Self guided tours are an option just remember to stop and get the pamphlet on your way into the Cove, they only cost a dollar. Really not sure why you mention your desire to go to the Cove rather than shopping on the review but I'm glad to help point you in the right direction if you have any difficulty in finding the area. Be blessed and safe travels.
