Our waterfall tour was AMAZING! We saw beautiful waterfalls and mountain vistas. Our guide, Jason S. was the best! Very personable, very knowledgeable and just fun to be around. I would highly recommend this tour and Jason to anyone that wants to see some beautiful nature in the Asheville area. Thank you Jason! My entire family had a blast on the tour and it was a wonderful way to spend my 65 birthday! Merry Christmas

It was a terrific day. Adriana made it very enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable about the region and some very interesting history facts. She really made the day. The fall colors were vibrant. In addition to the waterfalls and fall foliage, there were rainbows over the mountains. Excellent day!

We loved being driven around so we could look at the scenery and enjoy the ride. Adriana, was very personable, accommodating and an excellent driver. Her vehicle was very comfortable. She had a box of snacks and a cooler of soft drinks and water. We did wish she had told us more about what we were seeing and the history of the area. I live not far from the area we travelled so perhaps she didn’t feel the need but my traveling companion is not local. But overall, we enjoyed our day very much.

The waterfall tour was great. And the views of both the falls and surrounding area was breathtaking. Above all our tour guide Lori was amazing. Knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. We have been on dozens of tours over the past few years and none more scenic or enhanced by such a wonderful tour guide.

Every aspect of this experience was amazing. The scenery was gorgeous and the entire process was easy and personalized to our needs. Dennis and AJ were both very knowledgable and easy to communicate with. AJ went above and beyond tailoring the tour to our needs and surprised us with a picnic lunch as well as being our personal photographer. We were visiting for a family girls weekend with ages ranging from 40-75 and the walking portion was easily accessible for all of us. We all thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would definitely recommend this tour.

The tour was great, beautiful sites and Brendon was so knowledgeable and loves showing others the beauty in the Carolina’s. I would recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Terrific guide with great knowledge of the area and falls. Well worth the price as this is a private tour, tremendous way to spend the day celebrating a special event.
Shannon_S, Jul 2022
This was a great experience! Brendon was so knowledgeable of the areas traveled and knew a lot about the trees and plant life. The waterfalls were amazing and he took pictures of us as well. It was also great not to have to drive; we wouldn’t have found as much on our own as we did with a guide.

Great experience will book again when we come back. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we had a great time
Morna_R, Apr 2022
Enjoyed the extensive private tour with a knowledgeable, articulate and flexible guide. Brandon personalized the tour to meet our expectations and interests. The scenery was outstanding and the detailed flora and fauna information was unexpected but thoroughly absorbed! So much to see in a short period of time.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful experience! I will let Brandon know he rocked his very first tour! Thank you so much!
