Best way to experience the Smokies

I am SO glad we did this! Brian drove us through the mountains and talked all about the park and told us so much! We got to see and experience so much more than if we would have just gone up there and tried not to get lost. He even told us things we did not know and opened our eyes to new places to explore and visit. We will definitely be doing this again. The length was 3 hours but I could have done that all day it was so great. This tour is great for people of all ages.

Operator response

We're thrilled he introduced you to new places to explore and made your three-hour adventure so enjoyable that you wished it could have lasted all day! Thank you for your wonderful recommendation and for choosing Smoky Mountain Jeep Tours. We can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure.

Mountain trip

My brother and I were the only passenger most likely because of the weather. It was rainy and very cloudy to see all but we did have some viewing on the way up to Newfoundland Gap. Tour guide was very informative and answered all our questions.

While we wish the weather had been clearer for the full views, we’re glad you were still able to enjoy some scenery on the way to Newfound Gap. We’re especially happy to hear your tour guide was informative and able to answer all your questions. We appreciate you joining us, rain and all, and hope you’ll come back for another visit on a sunnier day!”
