We've used the "hop on hop off" tours in the past and have found it a great way to see the city. The one in Asheville is no different. You get great insite into the history and locations in the city. We had 2 of the best guides, "Uncle Ted" and Walt. Very knowlegeable about the landmarks and their histories. They even had a drop off point near our hotel. Use this tour to get a base, then you can either drive back to spend more time at the locations you liked, or use the second day of the ticket to do more hopping off.

We had 2 different drivers (we hopped off to shop and have lunch). Matt was one and he was great. Another was a lady and she was also great. Liked that this one had real locals which in the case of Matt lived in the area his entire life. Also liked that it was a smaller bus and the driver gave live commentary. Even my daughter likes this one and she always finds the hop on hop off busses insufferable.

We periodically take the trolley to tour the city of Asheville. It gives the driver an opportunity to see and visit the city while not having to watch traffic. It is well worth the cost to have the safety!!! Loved the stories of Thomas Wolfe and F Scott Fitzgerald!
