The starting point for our tour was not as clear as we would have hoped, but we had a great time. The information provided was very informative.

Once we headed in the correct direction it was great! Lots of interesting tidbits about the creation of the National Park and it mentioned lots of areas to pull-off and overlooks to check out. We took the tour from Gatlinburg Welcome Center to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. There were restrooms and a nice place to walk around with lots of elk to see! The walk to Clingmans Dome was approx 1/2 mile uphill but a must see if the weather is clear. Highly recommend! 😀

Even after downloading the tour from the app as instructed, the narration was still off. Not worth the price, this could have been done for free.

Great history and keeps up with the drive really well. I’m glad we had a tour and weren’t just driving aimlessly.
