We thoroughly enjoyed our hiking tour. Our guide Eli was top notch. She not only took us to beautiful waterfalls through the rainforest but also told fascinating stories of the history of the Blue Ridge Mountains and provided tons of information about forest fauna and flora. She was so friendly and personable that it was like being on a tour with a best friend. It was obvious she loves her job, people and the earth. We had such a wonderful time and would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Thank you for your review – we are so pleased you had such a nice time! We're pretty convinced Paul would be out in the woods identifying birds and recounting Southern Appalachian folklore no matter what, so it's even better when he has an audience!
