Bryan was a fabulous guide through the Great Smokey Mountains, super knowledgeable about the area history and happy to answer questions. The views he brought us to were incredible! He was also the group photographer, making sure to snap some pics along the way of everyone which he shared at the end so we could all have photos of ourselves enjoying the day. The fall leaves were different colors at different elevations and the whole trip was just stunning. Great experience. Recommend!

We really enjoyed this tour. Brian was an excellent guide, providing lots of interesting background of the area and of the Cherokee nation. My husband and I took turns driving the UTV- very fun. During the tour, we saw beautiful areas, elk, and the Mingo waterfall, among other things. We highly recommend this tour.

Brian was the best. This was such an awesome tour. Being Cherokee, Brian was so knowledgeable of the history and culture of the area. One of our very best tours ever. The icing on the cake was Brian singing Amazing Grace in Cherokee at a pullover at a mile elevation. The photos and videos that he share were very generous of him. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.
Enjoy Cherokee heritage and natute.

We had the best time with Brian our guide. We learned a lot about the Cherokee Indian Nation, how they settled and endured hardships. We saw Elk just chillin and trying to eat from residents gardens. We were even treated to a special song you’ll have to go to be surprised.
Great Experience & lovely views!

We (wife, son, myself) came from NYC to enjoy Mountain Country and our tour guide, Brian, didn’t disappoint. He kept us safe and was SUPER informative about the area we rode through, which included a Cherokee reservation. Brian also let us know what other excursions we could go on nearby. Overall I recommend Scenic UTV Adventures for a family that wants to enjoy beautiful views of the mountains and make memories with friendly people!
Do it!!

Bryan was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a great combination of on and off road. We saw a herd of elk up close, and went off roading. This was a great tour and a good value.
Excellent Experience!!

Brian was amazing. He tailored the tour to what we wanted to experience, drove with us in the UTV and showed us/told us a lot of interesting information about the area, the fauna and flora, and the tribe.
