This tour exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Paul, our guide, was so passionate and knowledgeable about so many more aspects along the way that we did not expect, but made the tour that much more special. He also made sure that everyone was comfortable and happy with locations and difficulty so that everyone in our group was happy and satisfied. We would definitely do this tour again, with more family and friends. Beautiful waterfalls, wildlife, vegetation, and photo ops.

My boyfriend and I loved our tour with Eli! She was extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife and we learned a lot along the way. We chose the moderate hike. We went at a leisurely pace throughout which made it more laid back and relaxing. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Asheville. 😁
