  Luci provided the best tour experience we've ever had! She is a wonderful, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable guide whose passion for the Smoky Mountains is contagious. With her excellent communication skills, she gave us fascinating insights into the history, culture, and ecology of the region. She went above and beyond to ensure we saw the very best of the Smokies, making the tour a truly memorable adventure. Luci is an absolute gem—priceless and the key to an unforgettable trip. Book with her; you won't regret it!

• Beautiful mountains and nice van for the ride.

  It was well organized and our guide Samantha was great. She was very knowledgeable and talked us through the whole trip. Answered all the questions we had for her.

  

  

• Guide Skipped Kuwohi and Clingmans Dome Trail giving traffic excuse

  Overall, the experience was average, as our tour guide, Samantha from 'A Walk in the Woods' company, did not take us to any of the most popular spots that were advertised on TripAdvisor. She deliberately skipped Kuwohi, Clingmans Dome Trail, saying, "traffic is horrible around this time of the day". Everyone on the trip was present at the pickup spot on time. If we were asked for an early pickup, we would have done that. We were not aware of the traffic and missed the most visited and most desired spot at the Smoky. It was disappointing.

• Mountain scenery

  Comfortable van, not a bus. Small group, better than a large group. Friendly knowledgeable guide; easy to hear her and others in group. Just adults in our group. May not be best choice for kids.

• Fun tour!

  Well, I stepped out of my comfort zone for this tour based on the activity level. It was very beautiful. Our guide was great. The other people who were on the tour with us were very fun to be with.

  Learning about the history of the park was fascinating. Also enjoyed the bear information. Kelly, our guide, was sensitive about our age. She was well informed on the plant life.

• Professionally managed company with excellent guides in a beautiful place!

  We booked 3 tours in 3 days, from easy to moderate, and were not disappointed. This company is super professional, enthusiastic, responsive, friendly, informative, fun. We arrived just days after Hurricane Helene devastated parts of eastern TN and western NC and AWITW was all over it. They continually tracked the condition of roads and trails throughout the region and proactively emailed to change one of our itineraries because of flooding. They are focused on keeping you safe. We really enjoyed our two guides, Kels and Deb, and learned so much from them. Great Smoky Mountain National Park is large and very heavily traveled. Though millions go there yearly, only a fraction of the those hike, resulting in a huge number of cars trying to drive and park. Hiring these guys takes all the hassle out of it. Highly recommended!

  The trail guide was very friendly, and knowledgeable about the trail, the trees and the geology. He was very patient, took time to explain history and science regarding the venue.

• Buyers beware! Read completely before booking!

  This tour is not what we expected. We both needed to drive in our own car following the guide! 230 dollars for this was a real waste of money.You really don’t need a guide to drive to Clingman’s dome. Our guide was a young lady , was really nice. It was too late to cancel the trip.

• Great way to learn how the Great Smoky Mountains became a National park

  We took this tour with Ken on October 8 & had a great time. After meeting at the Sugarlands Visitors Center we made a short drive to the trailhead & then started our walk along the Little River. Ken was extremely knowledgeable about the trail & the park so we learnt a lot. Granted we could have done the hike on our own, but we wouldn’t have known the park history at all. Well worth doing to learn how the Great Smoky Mountains became a National park.
