WHAT TO EXPECT:
Enjoy commentary through all the best-loved parts of the National Park. Whether we are exploring the magnificent elevated viewpoints along Newfound Gap Road or the historic and scenic drive of Cades Cove and Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, the tour will make sure you hear about all the best places to see and stop, so you won't miss a thing.
Along the drive there are many stunning viewpoints and opportunities to see the famous smoky effect as clouds and fog rise from the valleys. Along this drive, we visit Clingmans Dome, the highest peak in the park and even take the walk onto the elevated tower from which 7 states can be seen on a clear day.
Cades Cove sits in an idyllic setting, that attracted the Native American people and then the first of the European settlers. And be on the lookout to spot some of the Great Smoky Mountain's black bear population, as well as deer, elk and even wild turkeys.
Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail leaves right from downtown Gatlinburg but quickly becomes a stunning, peaceful forested drive, with a couple hours worth of scenic views and old cabins and barns, and some of the Great Smoky Mountains best waterfalls.
The tour begins and ends on the drive to and from GATLINBURG, TN or CHEROKEE, NC, or join anywhere along the route.
WHAT YOU’LL SEE:
Some of the highlights along the route include;
• Clingmans Dome
• Newfound Gap
• Cades Cove
• Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail
• Laurel Falls
• Morton Tunnel
• Cable Mill
• The Sinks
• John Oliver Place
• Chimney Tops
• Mingus Mill
• Gatlinburg
• Cherokee
• And many more scenic lookouts and photo opportunities

Great Smoky Mountains GyPSy Positive Reviews
The Best Ever!!!Just returned from the Smokey Mountain parkway. A Full Day and going back. I just can’t tell you what a fabulous treat having Gypsy Guide as our personal guide. We have done every tour for Hawaii they have made and because of the guides it was the Best vacation!! Have a house in NC and decide to do it. No regrets!! So happy and such a great day!! It’s so informative, and interesting!! But I must also say enjoyable not annoying guide!! Things you really wouldn’t have bothered to do and you would have really missed out!!! If you are any where near I say it is a must do!! Looking for the Blue Ridge Parkway to be A tour you will do soon! Happy Traveling with Gypsy Guide!!🎉🎉🎉👍👍😊😊🙌🏻🙌🏻.Version: 3.0.2
Completely enriches NP experienceWhen we plan a trip to any National Park, we always check if there is a GyPSy guide available. Every guide we’ve used has been incredibly invaluable and we learn so much more than just from books. The guide never gives his name so my family have affectionately named him, Bob. As in, “oh Bob” (when he makes a “dad” joke). In the Great Smoky guide, we learned so much about the history of the park, the area, and the residents...plus, we heard “Bob” sing! Don’t hesitate...if you are going to any NP that has a GyPSy guide available, buy it. You will not be disappointed..Version: 3.0.2
Plenty of quiet time to enjoy the driveOverall pretty good. I had expected the guide to talk pretty much non stop. Might be a good idea for the guide to mention in the audio test that one the tour starts there will be quiet times between the commentary. Great for a solo traveler and I would definitely buy another tour for another park. I like how the comments synch up with the locations. There was one spot where one could really see the low fluffy clouds in the morning. I would recommend adding this info to the tour before reaching that spot “if it’s early in the day, check out the next overlook for clouds” or something along those lines. I’m glad I spotted them on my own and turned back..Version: 3.0.2
Love gypsy guideJust returned from Great Smoky National Park. Spent 5 days inside the park and loved having the gypsy guide along. We used the Yellowstone guide last year and loved it so definitely knew I wanted to use it again this year with GSNP. We call him George and love “George” guiding us around and giving us information and history. He always gets us to stop several places we would have never know. About otherwise. Gypsy Guide is worth every penny and then some. I will use it for every park it is available that we go to..Version: 3.0.2
Perfect road trip companionI’m so glad we decided to download this app before our Great Smoky Mountain vacation! The app helped us decide which stops to make along the way as well as giving driving directions and providing us with colorful and fascinating stories. We would have missed many beautiful sites along the way without it. Will definitely be checking back to see what other road trip apps gypsy guides add in the future.Version: 2.8.1
A GSMNP Necessity!This was our first GyPSy tour and we loved it. This is the app I’ve been looking for: we could drive around the national park and learn about park history, wildlife tips, and get recommendations for everything from easy walks to hard day hikes! Totally worth the 9.99–and this is from someone on a student‘a budget!! We can’t wait to continue exploring the US National Parks with GyPSy!.Version: 3.0.2
Wow!We downloaded this on Day 2 of our 3 day trip... worth every penny! There’s more information in this ONE tour guide than we could put together from four tour books! Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t replace planning ahead, but this elevated our experience in ways we couldn’t possibly have planned, or hoped, for..Version: 3.0.2
Well worth the cost!I would have paid twice the cost! This app made our trip to the smokies. Gypsy was informative and entertaining. Now come out with one for each of the national parks. I would purchase more of them..Version: 3.0.2
Great tour!We’ve used GyPSy Guide tours in other parks and this one was every bit as god as those. We would ya e missed so many great places if we didn’t have it! The stories and history just make everything seem so much more interesting. We highly recommend this!.Version: 2.8.1
Great travel appWe look forward to our annual trip to the Smoky mountains every year. This app enhanced that experience so much. We enjoyed the historical information, and it kept our kids engaged and interested. Can’t wait to use it again!.Version: 2.8.1
Great guideThis is my first five-star rating for an app. We used it all day to go around the national park, and it would recommend stops along the way. It’s easy to use and the voice is very clear. The narrator/guide is humorous, helpful and interesting. I’m glad we had the app..Version: 2.8.1
Excellent Smoky Mountain GuideJoey (as we called our guide) was amazing!!! We only had time for three of the four driving guides and they were all spot on, accurate and straight out funny!! Looking forward to bringing Gypsy/‘Joey’ with us on our next road trip..Version: 3.0.1
Awesome App!A must have for anyone on a trip to Great Smoky Mountains. Not only great advice on what to see and what to look for, but great commentary on the geology and history. Our family loved listening to Ranger Dan (we named him) as we drove. Worth every cent. So glad we purchased!.Version: 2.8.1
Outstanding App for the SmokiesThis App is well worth the small investment. Having a guide on our car tour was fantastic — gave a lot of useful information that made our visit very special. Highly recommended..Version: 3.0.2
Great app, super easy to use!Just returned from the Smoky Mountains, this app was very useful! We enjoyed the direction and educational narration very much. I would like to note that Cade’s Cove is closed all day on Wednesday’s though, not open at 10am like the app mentions..Version: 3.0.2
We call him PhilThis was our second gyPSy guide , the first was the Rocky Mountains National Park two months ago. “Phil” adds so much to the experience of being in the RMNP and now of course the Smokies. Can’t recommend these apps enough!.Version: 3.0.1
