5.00Our guide was very informative and shared information that only a local could have known. He took the vacationers into consideration by allowing time for taking pictures at beautiful waterfalls and other scenic views, as well as stopping for refreshments and restroom breaks. By booking this tour it saved us the stress of driving it ourselves, we learned more by hiring a guide, and we especially enjoyed meeting new friends and had the pleasure of being part of a group. We now have this wonderful experience of The Great Smokey Smokey as a precious memory. Thank you from Jeff and Nydia Rose.

5.00On Easter Sunday David took my husband and I on this jeep tour. He was pleasant and enthusiastic throughout. He kept us entertained with stories and history of the local area. David is very knowledgeable about the area and his love for the national park is evident throughout the tour. He adapted the tour to suit our wishes and nothing was too much trouble. He is an asset to this business. Thank you David - we enjoyed seeing the mountains, rivers waterfalls squirrels and turkeys with you. Sadly no 🐻 today.
Great views of the foothills.

3.00Great guide and views. Disappointed to not get to stop at the Park entrance signs for photos or an official visitor center for passport stamps.
Met our expectations and more

5.00We wanted to try something different where we all had a change to learn about some history of foothill and the Smokey mountains, and we did. We all came back more knowledgeable and the views (streams, waterfalls, plants and wildlife) were great. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Now, for the best part, our tour guide, China was so engaging. She kept us on our toes by quizzing us, took family pictures when we didn't have enough hands and she even shared her story of how she got into hiking and guiding. Last, she got us back safe and sound. Those roads up in the foothills can be windy.
I highly recommend this experience! Especially with #89 David.

He made sure everyone was comfortable and had an enjoyable experience and went out of his way to make sure that my 7 yo. son had an experience he will remember years to come!

5.00We had a great experience with Brian as our driver, on our holiday lights adventure. Brian was very knowledgeable of the area and made our trip a great experience. Thanks to Brian, I now know all the words to the 12 days of Christmas 🎅. We learned about multiple places in Gatlinburg that we now need to go explore, that we didn’t know about previously. We can’t wait to try other adventures/tours with Smoky Mountains Jeep Tours on our next visit.
Fantastic way to experience the Smokey’s

5.00David was our tour guide. He was awesome. The weather was very cold and snowy but David still made it special. He showed us a lot beautiful views and helped take pictures for us. He taught us a lot of local history and was very knowledgeable. We are very happy we didn’t let the weather discourage us, we had a great time!
