About this tour

Spend a full day discovering the Smokies at your own pace on a private guided adventure. With a guide who also drives, your group can focus on the scenery while the day takes shape around your interests.

Your route might bring you to waterfalls, mountain overlooks, historic sites, quiet trails, or old-growth forest. Along the way, hear stories about local wildlife and keep an eye out for seasonal wildflowers. The itinerary and difficulty can be adjusted to suit your group, whether you’re visiting for the first time or hoping to explore beyond the usual stops. Road closures or other events may require a change of plans.

Smokies Private Guided Adventure includes private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle, snacks, and a deli-style lunch. Meet at the Sugarlands Visitors Center or arrange pickup from downtown Gatlinburg. Bring water, and let the provider know about any nut allergies and your lunch order. Gather your group and make a day in the Smokies your own.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 24 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Gatlinburg
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.1. Top 17% in Gatlinburg means it ranks in the top 17% of tours in Gatlinburg by this score.
