We want to be very transparent immediately, and let you know that ThunderRidgeTransportation.com is in no way an official part of Big Cedar Lodge, Bass Pro Shop or any Johnny Morris property. This is a website owned and managed by Joe Gunnels, owner of VIP Branson, LLC d.b.a. VIP Tours Charters & Limo, and VIP Tours of Branson.
We receive no special privileges or preferences for where we drop off and pick up our passengers at the Thunder Ridge Arena property. We just provide excellent customer service to our clients, and excellent, luxury vehicles to ride in.
We have the largest fleet of Mercedes Sprinter Luxury Vans, in the entire SW Missouri and NW Arkansas region. We also have newer model SUVs and two Super Stretch Limousines. So we are well suited to help you with most of your transportation needs!
VIP Branson, LLC started originally as VIP Tours of Branson, in 2016.
VIP Tours of Branson is a local sightseeing tour business that offers a variety of tour experiences, such as our Discover Branson History and Scenic Beauty Tour, our VIP Wine Tasting and Dinner Tour, as well as our very popular VIP Christmas Lights Tour.
For more information about our sightseeing tours and/or to make reservations for one of our tours, please visit www.viptoursofbranson.com
Although VIP Tours of Branson would do private charters for small groups occasionally, our focus was on the tours, not charters. However, requests for private charters continually increased from year to year, so in 2021 we purchased another Mercedes Sprinter Luxury Van, and started accepting more private charter requests. In 2023 we bought another "Sprinter", and in February of 24 we bought another, yet smaller, Sprinter.
At the end of 2022, VIP Branson, LLC purchased Branson Limousine and Executive Charters, a 14 year old company started by Lee and Norma Wiedmeyer. And as we say, "The rest is history to be made!" Because all of our efforts so far, has led us to YOU. And YOU are who we are here for!
As we continue to grow, you can watch for us to begin having a presence in NW Arkansas in 2026, and possibly in the Lake of the Ozarks / Osage Beach area sometime in late 2026 to early 2027.
