Very enjoyable, educational tour. Our guide had extensive and amazing knowledge of Asheville’s music and cultural history as well as current hot venues for listening.

Dave was wealth of information regarding Asheville’s ties to famous musicians and those in the music industry. If you love music, this is your tour.

This was an excellent tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged the entire time. We learned a great deal about the city (past and present), the venues, and the entertainment that has visited or resided in its boundaries and surrounding areas. If you are interested in seeing vinyls made, be sure to go Mon-Fri. I don't think this was mentioned in the advertisement. We went on a Saturday and were disappointed that this option was not available; however, tour was still worth it, even without this expectation being met.
