We had a great experience on this tour with MK. We drove to Pisgah National Forest and hiked to 2 beautiful waterfalls. MK was very knowledgeable about the flowers and plants we saw. She answered any questions we had and she took our photos at the waterfalls and along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I highly recommend MK for this tour. She was very personable and went out of her way to make this experience memorable.

This is a great tour for an introduction to the area. Our guide, Paul, was fantastic and enjoyed it being a small group. The weather didn’t totally cooperate, guide had rain ponchos & walking sticks for all. Plus alternative plans . Well equipped & prepared. Would definitely do again if in the area.

Paul is a rockstar when it comes to turning a "bad" day around! We appreciate his optimism and keen sense of making things work! That's what makes him a great guide! We are thrilled to hear that you were still able to enjoy yourself on the trail! We look forward to hiking with you again!

My sister & I booked this tour and had a blast! Eli was the tour guide of our small hiking group. She has a great friendly personality and she's super knowledgeable about the landscape, history, plants, and flora in the region. We stopped at several overlooks on the BRP and then proceeded to hike to few waterfalls. The weather was glorious and the scenery was magnificent. No need to worry, the tour makes a couple pit stops for bathroom breaks and snacks. A perfect hiking tour for everyone! 5 Stars!

We are thrilled to hear you got to experience the true beauty of our forest and mountains! Eli is passionate about what she does and it shows! We totally understand bathroom breaks and snacks are a key part of getting outside - we got you covered! Thanks for your review and we hope to see you on the trail soon!
