One of the best ways to experience the beauty of the Smokies is with a professional guided tour! After all, it is hard to admire all the incredible scenery while trying to focus on the road! Leave the driving to someone else as you sit back, relax and learn all kinds of great information about the region! As a bonus, you will get to visit plenty of unique locations that you might not have otherwise seen on your trip! Here are 3 of the best guided tours of the Smoky Mountains:
1. Pink Adventure Tours
Pink Adventure Tours has quickly become one of the most popular tour companies in the Smokies, as they already have a fabulous reputation with their tours in Sedona, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon! They offer several tours that depart from Pigeon Forge, including the Foothills Parkway Tour, Newfound Gap Tour, Roaring Fork Tour and the Valley & Views Tour. Each tour features a Certified Interpretive Guide who is not only a local expert, but a professional driver with extensive safety training. Since each tour is a small group experience, you can easily interact with your guide and ask as many questions as you want! As you cruise around on the iconic, open-air Pink Jeep, be sure to have your camera ready to capture some spectacular photos!
