This tour was worthwhile only for the transportation. I will say that our first driver Matt, who took us around the Monford district, was in command of his facts and made this first leg interesting and informative. However, the female drivers were terrible. First, the microphones were incredibly loud, and the incessant chattering was beyond annoying I.e. a 15 minute description of converted gas stations. (This is true all over the country). Also, unnecessary plugging of bbq joints. I suggest you review your scripts and get them out of the 1950s. No mention of the Cherokee removal, see trail of tears, no mention of black architects James Vesper Miller, Douglas Ellington, just drivel about restaurants, personal stories. By the way, I am aware that there are black history tours, but a mention of black contributions is warranted. (I am a 79 year old white woman). U

Explorat-Thank you for the feedback. I apologize that the tour guides you had did not mention what you were looking for on the day you toured with us. No two tours are alike, with so much to cover in just 90 minutes, our guides are a wealth of information. I hope you'll return and learn more about Asheville's story with us.

We took the o off tour and used the free option for a second day. All the drivers we had were great and we would definitely recommend this tour. We also took the Historic Ghost Tour of Asheville with Uncle Ted White. It was a blast! Uncle Ted was fabulous. Definitely would recommend this tour!

x449DP-Thank you for the review. We are delighted you enjoyed both of our tours. The stories make it so interesting. Every guide has a different tour with their own personal experiences woven in.

Great way to get an overall feel for the city. Driver was knowledgeable and entertaining, with a mix of unverified BS. Take the full, uninterrupted circuit. Then go to the areas that appeal later.
