Fabulous Cade's Cove - The integration of history, geography, geology and personal experiences of the Native American, foreign explorer and settlers to the area was fascinating.

Cades Cove and beyond. - My wife Heather and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Our guide Philip, a history buff, was personable and had captivating stories as good as the amazing views. He saw to our comfort and tailored the tour to our wishes. We highly recommend this company.
