The drivers here really stand out as genuine, caring people who make passengers feel like family. Ruth, Dallas, Lola, and the rest of the team consistently earn praise for being warm, professional, and going above and beyond with helpful local recommendations. Multiple travelers mention feeling reassured and comfortable, especially those traveling solo or dealing with emotional goodbyes. The communication and coordination with the team is excellent, with drivers arriving punctually and keeping passengers informed throughout. Beyond basic airport shuttles between Knoxville and the Gatlinburg area, they also offer specialty tours like the popular moonshine and wine tasting experiences. Drivers are knowledgeable about the region's history and best routes to avoid traffic, and several reviewers mention getting taken to breathtaking viewpoints along the way. One traveler notes they need advance notice if your flight arrives early, as they don't automatically track flight times, so communication on your end matters. The vehicles stay spotless and comfortable, and the overall vibe is friendly locals who genuinely enjoy sharing their mountain community with visitors.
I had a great experience with Smoky Bear Shuttle! I left a day earlier than my family, so I needed an early morning ride to the Knoxville airport from a cabin in Sevierville. Ruth and her super cute little van, Zippy, got me to the airport safely and comfortably. I will definitely use their services again if I’m ever back in the area.
