See the Smokies via Double Decker Bus Tours

Posted by Jon Hoffman in Pigeon Forge

Ever feel like you're missing out on sights and scenery because you're busy battling traffic?

It's a common experience.

But now there's a better way to tour the Tennessee Smokies. It's called Double Decker Bus Tours. And it's been operating – to rave reviews – since December 23, 2019.

For a surprisingly modest fee, you can:

Ride in a British double-decker bus

Relax in cushioned seating

Leave the driving to the experienced bus driver

View your surroundings in leisurely comfort, and...

Get the lowdown on Smoky Mountain attractions from an expert tour guide right there on the bus

Hop On! Hop Off! (Couldn't Be Easier)

Currently, Double Decker Bus Tours, Inc., operates two comfortable buses – one with an open-air top, the other with an enclosed upper level.

Both are genuine UK double-deckers, built in the British Isles. In fact, they're so authentic that their specially trained drivers sit on the right-hand side, just as drivers do in England!

Both buses depart daily (in season) from the Red Roof Mall office at 2850 Parkway in Pigeon Forge. Each bus rolls through Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and back, with stops along the way at:

• Tanger Outlet Mall
• Apple Barn Restaurant & Cider Mill
• Wonderworks upside-down museum
• The Incredible Christmas Store
• Ober Gatlinburg ski resort
• Gatlinburg Convention Center
• Nantahala Outdoor Center
• Top Jump trampoline center
• Rowdy Bear Mountain Adventure Park / Gatlinburg
• Old Mill District
• Crave Golf Club miniature golf
• Alcatraz East Museum
• Rowdy Bear Mountain Adventure Park / Pigeon Forge

If you like, you can hop off at any stop to shop, dine, sightsee, and visit attractions.

Then, when you're ready, you can simply hop back on (without paying an additional fee). Double Decker buses run about once per hour, so one will always be along shortly.

If you don't want to wait, you can join your bus at its next designated stop. When and where will that be? It's easy to find out. Just download the Double Decker Bus Tours app from Google Play or the company's website. Then track your bus in real time. Sweet!

How Do These Buses Differ from the Trolleys of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg?

• They're not just for transit. Trolleys take you from Point A to Point B. But these double-decker buses give you a full guided tour of your entire route.
• They offer two levels of viewing. You have the option of sitting on the upper level, where you'll get an amazing bird's-eye view of the Great Smoky Mountains.
• They operate on a continuous loop. You don't need to transfer to another bus – and another and another – in order to reach your destination.
• They're the first and only double deckers in the Great Smoky Mountains... offering a truly unique experience.
