Our Story and Vision
Tennessee Mountain Tours is more than just a sightseeing company; we are storytellers, sharing the heritage and history of the Great Smoky Mountains. Our vision is to create memorable experiences that connect visitors to the soul of the region. Our roots run deep in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. The city of Gatlinburg was settled in 1803 by the 7th great grandmother of the company founder. The stories shared on tour are those passed down from father to son and mother to daughter for over 200 years.
With a commitment to authenticity and local heritage, we strive to provide enriching experiences that go beyond tourism. Our deep-rooted family values shape our approach to tourism, ensuring each tour leaves a lasting impact on our guests.
