Dustin was a great tour guide, and brought Pam along for the ride, who we had toured with the day before to Cade's Cove. We were with another couple our friends, and once again were the only tourists on the van. It was a great day - not rushed seeing and learning about the town of Gatlinburg stopping for great sights, shopping and lunch and seeing the amazingly beautiful Smokies. Learning about the mountains, the establishment of the national park and the people of the area was a wonderful way to spend the day. A must!

Our tour driver is also the owner . This young man Dustin was born and raised here and his family goes back many generations. His knowledge of the area is overwhelming. We would highly recommend this tour of the Smokey Mt area to all who come here to visit.
