We took the trolly tour of Asheville with Uncle Ted. He was awesome. So knowledgeable of the history of the city, a great sense of humor and just plain fun. Saw much of the city we would never have seen had we not taken the tour.

We took a trolley tour and opted for the hop on/ hop off which was $31.00, the option to stay on was $27.00. They do give senior and military discounts. The guides are pleasant and courteous. There is a lot of interesting history too. The tour stops at 9 locations , 10 if you include the visitor center where we started. The trolley provides a wide view of different areas of the city and give you an idea where you might want to go on your own with your car. There are loads of restaurants and shops, shops and options for craft beers and wine . They also have a great art area as well. We did not have the opportunity to go to Biltmore estate , however they do sell tickets at the visitor center that are 10 cheaper than anywhere else. They run about $50.00 a person ( with the $10 off ) and that is a day trip all on its own from what we have been told. I would definitely recommend stopping at the visitor center first, taking the trolley tour and then narrowing down the areas that you were interested in to visit independently.

This was a great way to see a city we had never visited. The drivers were so knowledgeable, fun and helpful. We always enjoy the hop on, hop off tours when we visit cities for the first time, but this one was especially nice.
