Mark_K, Sep 2023

A trip to Asheville isn't complete without exploring the nearby beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This excursion is the perfect way to see and do just that. David, the tour operator, is extremely knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna of the region, the history of the area, the best scenic overlooks and as a bonus, is a really nice and personable guy. My wife and I highly recommend this tour, time and money well spent!
