This tour was outstanding! We were lucky to have Paul as our guide - he was super smart,funny, considerate and such a genuinely nice person (forgive him for some of his dad jokes!). He shared lots of really interesting information about wildlife, flowers/trees and the local area. He was very patient not only with all of the groups questions but also listening to my husband who was his co-pilot for the day! The tour really is brilliant and Paul is an excellent guide who genuinely cares about the environment (put out a fire someone else left lit!) as well as keen to share his knowledge so that we're all that better informed for future! book it you will not regret it!

Thank you so much for this review! We love to hear that you got to experience the real outdoors! We love Paul for his enthusiasm and love for the forest - glad to know you got to experience that as well! We genuinely feed off our guest's energy so please feel free to be our co-pilot any day!

Great hike and driving tour of Pisgah National Forest with guide Shannon from Asheville Hiking Tours. Very pleasant hike to a beautiful waterfall and multiple stops at other points of interest. Shannon was very knowledgeable re the local flora and fauna and her enthusiasm for the wilderness was obvious. Great experience. Next time we might consider arranging a more customized hike, but this entry level tour was still very worthwhile and enjoyable for first-time visitors to this area.
