Enjoy an all-day 6-hour sightseeing bus tour of sights in and around The Great Smoky Mountains. This tour also includes a 1-hour lunch break stop. This tour will start at the Apple Barn, go through Pigeon Forge, and then head into Gatlinburg for a short tour of the city and its history, then up the mountain to Rockefeller Memorial then back down into Townsend for our lunch break, and then the Foothills Parkway before going back thru Wears Valley towards Pigeon Forge. Along the way, you will hear amazing stories of local history, shop in some unique local stores, be introduced to some of the best local dining establishments, and see some of the best sights, with some of the most amazing views in the Smoky Mountains. You will be guided by a born and raised local who knows all about what these areas have to offer. This tour was created by a 7th-generation local and is the most in-depth tour in the area. With roots going back over 220 years no one knows more.
