Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour, and what should they wear?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but the tour is great for kids who are 5 and up. Make sure they wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes since you’ll be exploring some rugged areas. Also, a light jacket might be handy, especially since it can get a bit chilly in the mountains.

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up last minute?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if needed! Just give them a call at least 24 hours in advance, and they'll help you find a new date that works. It's super accommodating, which is nice!

Q: What’s the best time of year to go for the best views and weather?

A: Fall is absolutely stunning! The leaves change, and the views from the Blue Ridge Parkway are incredible. Late September to mid-October is peak season for fall colors. Just be ready for potentially cooler temperatures, especially in the mornings.

Can’t wait for my Cherokee Safari tour next week!

I booked the Smoky Mountain Cherokee Blue Ridge Parkway Safari tour for next Saturday! I’m so excited to see the hidden river valleys and hopefully spot some elk. The photo package sounds awesome too. I can’t wait to hear the Cherokee legends from the guide. Has anyone done this recently? What should I expect?

Just did the Cherokee tour—amazing experience!

I went on the Cherokee Blue Ridge Parkway Safari tour last week, and it was incredible! The guide shared such cool stories about the Cherokee culture, and the open-air jeep was perfect for the views. We saw a family of elk and some stunning waterfalls. I'd totally recommend this as a gift. Who wouldn’t love a day in the mountains?!
