Our guide, David, can’t be beat. Very amiable, knowledgeable and a great storyteller. We learned so much! One of the favorite parts of our trip. FYI: you don’t have to be passionate about music to enjoy David’s tour. My husband loves music; I like music. We both equally enjoyed the tour.

Our Guide, David, provided interesting stories which were well told. He is a longtime local who clearly loves the material and his enthusiasm is contagious. He also shared good insights into local restaurants and music venues. We had a good experience and you will too !

Fun and informative tour - I learned about Asheville's diverse music history being due to so many travelers, visitors, mountain folk, and a number of recording studios over the last 100 years - drawing musicians here to play and/or record an album or single. You'll learn about musicians who left here to make it big, you'll learn about musicians who return here to settle down. I would go again.
