We absolutely LOVED the waterfalls and Blue Ridge Parkway tour! Paul and Shannon were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We had a fantastic time learning about the history and wildlife in the Asheville area - plus the views along the way were INCREDIBLE! I would highly recommend taking a tour with this company. You will have great time and come away with a better appreciation for nature.

Our expert guide Paul was the best with our private group tour which included 2 teen boys who love birds/waterfalls! Certified in plants, trees, and birds (and mushrooms) we fully enjoyed learning about our beautiful surroundings. He has a great personality and tailored our tour to our requests. This is our second private tour with this company. We highly recommend Paul or Chris, especially if you love birds.

Wow! What a joy it is to read this review! Paul is the quintessential guide and always knows how best to share his knowledge with the whole family. Even better when they're fellow "nature nerds!" Thank you so much for your recommendation of Paul and Chris. We hope to see you on a third tour, and a fourth, and on and on!
