First it is well worth the extra for the Express pass. The chair lift to the top was very slow with a lot of stop and starts due to elderly people getting off and on. The gondola line was very long but may be worth the wait if you have little ones that are unruly. The zip line was fine. The guides were fun and encouraging. I didn't want to, but they were good about coaxing me and my wife. We did the tree top walk, and that was good too.

Check out our reviews! This is an experience not offered like any other and cannot be experienced the same way on your own. Visit multiple distilleries...not just one! We created this tour to share our passion of local (SMALL BUSINESS) moonshine and wine locations! People love this tour because you will be visiting as friends! From private VIP backstage to sampling, its all included! I will be showing you real life working stills and getting behind the scenes where people can't go. You will be treated as VIP guests at all the locations we visit. During our walk we will have a couple of stopping points where we will go over the fun (NOT DRY) history and tidbits of moonshine and of course talk about "how the old-timers did it". This tour will be action packed for the full 3 hours you are with me with the goal of trying different wines and over 15 different flavors of all proofs and even a moonshine cocktail!

Inclusions: Your ticket purchase includes tastings at each location we visit along with a special moonshine cocktail!

Exclusions: Tips for the Tasting Guides are not expected but definitely appreciated

This was a fantastic tour. The guides we're accommodating and showed us places off the main drag we found to be excellent. Missy and Riley at Junction 35 we're incredible and Daryl made the trip very authentic. Our group loved the tour and couldn't have made it better if we tried.

See where the ghosts of today and the past walk these streets, searching for the peace they were unable to find in this peculiar corner of Tennessee.

This tour was really fun and very educational. It was money well spent considering the high prices of the other tours in the area. Thank you so much we had fun!

Walk the back roads of Gatlinburg and learn about its haunted history and folklore on this nighttime tour. With a guide, you'll learn how you, too, can capture paranormal photos. Use ghost-hunting equipment like you see on tv to potentially communicate with ghosts along the way. The tour is an outdoor walking tour as such there is plenty of room for social distancing and masks are optional, It is wheelchair and stroller accessible and service animals are allowed. Unfortunately, due to the late completion time, the Trollys don’t run that late but we do offer free parking and of course, taxis and Uber, Lyft are available. The walk is about one mile all on flat paved ground spread out over 2 hours with lots of stops so a messy relaxing walk but no places to sit or restrooms are available during the tour. This is not a private tour groups can be as large as the upper 20’s in the busiest times but average in the high teens to low 20’s.

Inclusions: Professional guide, All activities

Exclusions: Gratuities, Food and drinks, Hotel pickup and drop-off

Larry was a great guide. We had a good time, and the equipment was pretty cool. I have always wanted to try something like this! My husband is a total non believer, but he also enjoyed it! He enjoyed listening and learning about the stories. We both were glad we went!
