Trees of Many Colors Tour from Pigeon Forge

Overview

This tour is designed to showcase the unique colors of the Smoky Mountains in the fall. The peak colors change from year to year but we always try to track down the areas where the most color can be found. This tour runs only from October through mid November. Along the way you will see a lot of the local area inside and outside of the park. Your guide will give you a lot of information along the way about the history and heritage of the local area and its people. The route can change from day to day based on the guides intuition and the areas where color may be most likely. Tree color isn't always going to cooperate in the earlier part of the month, please bear this in mind when choosing your date. Even on those days when color isn't easily found however, we show you some of the most amazing views and regale you with stories and history. This tour is a full 5 hours of sights, stories, and views that can't be missed.

Excellent Tour! Bus driver/guide was a local, so... very, very knowledgeable about the area. Smart and funny :) Had great family history stories to share. Taught us a lot about the 40 different trees in the Smoky Mountains. Took us to the best spots with awesome views of the colorful Fall Foliage. Wonderful day having someone else driving so we could take in all of the gorgeous Smoky Mountains scenery.

Austin, our guide, is a native of the area; his knowledge of the area and information he provided were excellent! I definitely recommend this tour.

While the guide, Dustin, was very informative, the transportation was less than desirable The van had seats for maybe 15 but the seats were not wide enough and uncomfortable. there were a number of stops where the people were to get out of the van to look at the colors of the leaves. It was very difficult for some to exit and enter the van and that made the whole experience distasteful. Dustin, being local, provided a wealth of information about the Smoky Mountain area. He had wonderful stories and definitions of language used in the area. He said that he had scouted to find good spots for viewing color. He took us on the Foothills Parkway to a couple of overlooks where the views were great. He also took us to Elkmont, Daisy Village, I believe he said, to view the historic buildings. That did not seem to be in the description. The trip was scheduled to be five hours long. That meant he needed to stop for a food break and he picked a cafe in Townsend but had said that we could bring our own food if desired. Having a "picnic" at the cafe was not the thing to do. The only tables were at the cafe where patrons of the cafe sat and ate the food purchased in the cafe. I did not feel comfortable taking space where paying customers normally sat. The descriptin should specify that food can be purchased during the tour. The tour was acceptible only because of Dustin, who did good preparation for finding where the good views of colored leaves were, was the guide and provided much good historical and cultural information.

I really like this review ... it was very honest and informative. I can respect a review that is so well delivered and unbiased. To address a few things, the location we stop for lunch had picnic tables in the area next to the coffee house but for some reason they were removed recently. This was not a change we were aware of. There are also seating areas at the coffee house and you are welcome to sit at the Cafe. We bring them many paying customers and you are our mutual customer so they would be more than happy to accommodate you. If it was unwelcome we wouldn't suggest brining a picnic lunch. I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the information given by Dustin. He's an excellent tour guide and a long term local so he does have a wealth of knowledge on this area. The locations visited on the tour aren't really listed because every year the areas change based on the whims of the guide and how the colors are looking. Some years we visit Cosby, some years we see Newfound gap ... it changes from year to year and sometimes week to week. As for the tour vehicle, we agree on that. Ford did a poor job at making adequate room inside the Ford Transit. The seats are often too narrow for grown adults which is why we stop at 12 guests even though it can hold 15. We had bigger busses before the pandemic but thanks to the government deciding that it was a great idea to stop the whole country for a few months we had to issue tens of thousands in refunds, something we were not ready for. To give those guests their refunds we had to sell assets. Since the pandemic carried on with no income and bills pouring in we had to sell even more assets. We went from a very well established tour business with 6 vehicles to a tiny business fighting its way back up the ladder with only 1 vehicle. We aren't backed by a multi million dollar company so we have to play with the hand we are dealt. I do hope your vacation was a pleasant one and that you come see us again on your next visit.
