"Pink Jeep tours are a great way to see the sites and learn some interesting information and fun stories."

The Pink Jeep tours are a great way to see the sites and leave the driving to someone else. We did the New Found Gap the first day of our vacation with driver Terry and it was fabulous. We went through the Smokey mountains, with stops for pictures and great information throughout the tour. The price is reasonable for a 3 hour tour and there was a discount if purchased online for the month of October. The last day of our vacation we returned and did the Roaring Fork tour with Chris and saw 3 bears . It ended up being only me and my husband so it was very fun and personal. The trips are always on a list of things to do when we visit Pigeon Forge and Branson.

"Fantastic Day Exploring Roaring Forks with Pink Jeep Tours"

We had such a fantastic experience on the Roaring Forks tour on Sunday, October 5, 2025! Our group of six had the jeep all to ourselves, and our guide, Terry, was absolutely AMAZING. He was a wonderful storyteller, an excellent driver, and made the whole experience engaging and fun. Terry gave us great options throughout the tour, took incredible photos of our group, and made us feel truly special. We can’t recommend Terry — and the Pink Jeep Tour — highly enough!

Wow! What can I say! As a solo female traveler from the uk I booked the Cases cove tour and my word wasn’t disappointed. I strongly believe the tour wouldn’t of been the same without our guide pj We laughed most of the way but his knowledge is bobbing welcoming character made it for me. As I was alone he was kind enough to take many pictures of me in various locations. Can I add I struggled as a solo traveller to find a company that would take me.many others would only book minimum 4 people. Pink jeep tours welcomed me along with other travellers and I can’t wait to use them again next year

Chris was an excellent tour guide. He was personable, had jokes, provided educational information, was a safe driver. He went above & beyond to make one of our goals (see a black bear) a reality. Sadly, the bears did not cooperate. The jeep sits up higher than the driver offering great views while traveling. Lots of photo opportunities at the stops. The off road experience was fantastic. I am very fearful of heights & roads with steep drop offs. However, I felt extremely safe & did not have 1 anxiety attack! Highly recommend Punk Jeep Tours & Chris!
