Exercise and adventure! Very informative.Our guide David shared stories that tied historical events to current day outcomes highlighting the importance of the Asheville music scene to the character of the city and the impact that it has had locally and nationally. Additional information on architecture and locales rounded out the presentation. To round out the afternoon we went to Cultivated Cocktails in the heart of town and recapped the day. Absolutely wonderful experience; Would do it again!

Truly enjoyed this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of music in Asheville and was able to answer all our questions. Found it particularly of interest that there are ties to Asheville and multiple genres of music. Well worth the time, especially for music fans.
