Worst trip ever. Junk old van dirty windows and an unprofessional tour director who stopped at every small local mountain shop. Complete rip off.

You were on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico when I called you asking if you planned on coming to the tour you booked. Turned out you booked the wrong date so I gladly moved you to the correct date at no charge. I guess that turned out to be a bad idea since you didn't like our bus or anything about the tour. Funny thing is you never mentioned any of this while on tour, you were quite friendly and talkative and asked a lot of questions which I gladly answered. You made no indication of having a poor time on the trip at all. Right up until I read this review I thought you had a wonderful time, you even tipped me well which is not typical of someone who had a bad time. You will be happy to know we cleaned the windows and upgraded the bus. We aren't a big company so we can't replace our busses every year but we do try to make sure all passengers are comfortable and safe in our vehicles. Next time you book a tour double check that you booked the correct date not everyone is kind enough to move you.

A must take tour. Our tour guide was Dustin and he knows all this history of the area.

We really enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. He was a local resident, a 7th generation member of his family from the area, and was able to pass on so much information. We saw a mama bear and her two cubs in the woods, in addition waterfalls, streams and beautiful scenery. We shopped at several local businesses, including a pottery store where we sat and watched an employee spinning vases. It was mesmerizing to watch, we could have sat there for hours. The tour was a lot of fun. We learned a lot and we would highly recommend it.
