We had an enjoyable tour, seeing and hearing about things we didn't know about this beautiful area. Our tour guide Garret was very knowledgeable and made the tour all that much more interesting.

We really enjoyed our time on this tour. Only 4 other people so it was a small one. Our driver and guide Garret was great. We enjoyed our time with him and wove in story telling into our trip and shared some nice local stories about all the various parts of the Smokies. Our van was comfy and the other two couples were interesting. Lunch was good at Elvira's. Best wishes to Garret and the Staff at Elvira's.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon tent camping in the Smokey Mtns. After 47 years we returned to the scene of the crime. We decided to take the tour to refresh our memory of the area. What a great decision that was. Garrett was our tour guide. Garrett was from the area and knew everything there was to know about the Smokies. The scenery was spectacular and with the knowledge imparted my Garrett the trip came alive. We felt like we were there walking the mountains, farming in the valleys, working in the lumber mills and trying to avoid the revenuers looking for our still. Made several stops along the way. Had lunch at Elvira’s, visited a logging museum, stopped at a craft store that featured only locally made items. Made some comfort stops too, way too much sweet tea for lunch By the way, when that black bear walked across the road that just made our day. You will not regret it, Jim&Celia Hooch on Wheels
