Our tour guide Eli started the morning with a bright genuine smile and instantly worked to make connections with our entire group. Before we even loaded up she had the group chatting like old friends. She checked in frequently to ensure we were all getting the attention and experience we wanted. We threw a lot at her with a little guy who gets carsick and an enthusiastic, budding naturalist who talks and talk and talks. :). Eli handled everything with grace while continuing to provide a fantastic tour experience of gorgeous waterfalls and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We saw areas of the forest we would never have found without a guide. My only disappointment is that we aren’t doing another tour today. Thank you Asheville Hiking Tours!

Thank you so much for your review about your hike and guide, Eli! She sure does her best to keep the whole crew happy. Eli is enthusiastic about sharing all of her favorite things in our wilderness, and loves to see that energy matched in her group. Your recommendation means the world and we'd be happy to take you on a tour again anytime!

This is a wonderful, beautiful experience. Eli, our tour guide, is awesome. She is great at identifying plants, knows the hidden gems and makes this experience rememberable. The Parkways was closed so we missed that portion of the tour, but it still was a memorable tour. Love the meeting spot also.
