I really liked the history provided except for the old earth perspective of the formation of the Smoky Mountains. Be careful preaching creation theory as fact.

We used two tours, Cades Cove and Gatlinburg to Cherokee. We did not have any serious tech issues (just a small learning curve) and the information provided was an excellent blend of biology, geology, settler history and Native American history. We definitely recommend this self guided audio tour
