Our guide Keith was very knowledgeable about the area. He picked us up in a very clean, nice Van and because of covid we only had 4 people on the trip. He gave us a llot t of good info on our way to our stops. We saw several scenic views that we stopped to photograph plus we hiked to 3 waterfalls. There are some stairs and you have to option to go out closer to the river and falls if you choose but you don’t have to. Total we walked about 3 miles. He provided drinks and snacks as well. I highly recommend this trip!

Blue Ridge Waterfalls hike and extensive review of the area was fantastic. Keith was so well adversed knowing the area well. Very informative and caring for his 4 passengers. Also had some snacks and adhered to social distancing, requiring masks and made sure at all times we were cared for. Picked us up on time and made sure we were back to our hotel location always making sure we were OK and did we have any additional questions.

Keith picked us up right on time from our hotel and we began our tour of the Blue Ridge Parkway. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great storyteller! He educated us on the local plants and animals of the area, had drinks and snacks and was well prepared. This tour became the highlight of our trip. Do not hesitate to book this tour!
