Eli was a wonderful guide who shared her knowledge as we hiked through the national forest. She guided us to Wonderful waterfall's. This was a very pleasant way to spend the day in the mountains and I would highly recommend this tour.

My mom and I had the best time. It was raining most of the trip but our guide Paul gave us ponchos and walking sticks. Paul was so informative on everything from the waterfalls to the mushroom he found growing on a branch on the ground. The Blue ridge parkway was not visible due to all of the clouds, so he adjusted the tour and took us to extra waterfalls! When we are two women traveling alone it is important that we feel comfortable with someone we don’t know taking us on our tour. Paul felt more like an old friend than just a guide taking us into his world. He really loves what he does and it really shows! I would 10/10 recommend taking this tour. So much beauty to see. And not enough kind words we can say about our tour guide Paul! Thank you!!

Amazing tour! If you are in Asheville you should definitely take this tour. Paul was an outstanding guide for us, really knowledgeable about the entire region and super friendly and entertaining. Me and my fiancee were the only two on the tour and Paul made it feels like we were hiking with a friend who knew everything about the area rather than a paid tour guide! Great waterfalls and views on the Parkway too!
