Meet at the gates of the cemetery. I recommend parking at the Montford Community Center down the street because its the half way point between the start and finish. You can also park at the cemetery and get an uber back to your car.

Our guide was super sweet, and she doesn’t waste time which I enjoyed, she is also very funny! The only parts that weren’t enjoyable were that it was hard to hear her and I’d highly recommend being louder or getting a low setting megaphone lol.

Tour guide was knowledgeable about Asheville. She had a very fun and upbeat personality!! Made the night very fun!! We also had a bear sighting! The bears are in Asheville!!

Sarah was awesome! She sang an acapella version of an old song story and it was beautiful. Unfortunately, 2 people in our group started to become ill from the heat and humidity and we had to cut out your short. It was a shame, as we were enjoying the tour. We all agreed if we’re ever back in Asheville in the cooler weather, it would be a definite redo. Thank you Sarah!!

Interesting to learn a bit of local history mixed with some suspected mischief. Our guide provided nonstop engaging entertainment. Very happy to take the stroll rather than be cooped up in a vehicle.

Bike tours through Asheville and hiking through the mountains. We got to see the amazing fall colors and had the best weather for this trip. The cabin was perfect for everything we needed to filly enjoy the trip.
