I'm in Asheville for an extended stay, and booked w/AHT. The experience was unforgettable (in a great way)! Joined w/another solo and 2 sisters for a picture perfect day where we chatted, hiked, and got up-close to numerous waterfalls. Paul's knowledge and enthusiasm re: the Blue Ridge area flora and fauna was unparalleled. Upon our return, we'll be looking him up for another round of fun and learning!

A guided group hiking tour is a great choice if you're looking to learn about nature and also meet a fun group of like-minded people. We're so glad you found us too, and that you had such a great time!

We were the first to experience their changes, such as the vehicle to ride along with the guide and hot chocolate. The guide, Chris, was awesome. No complaints anywhere. Chris was punctual, knowledgeable and ready for everything... Even when the place he wanted to take us was closed due to the weather. It was money well spent and will be requesting him again for a longer tour.

We're so glad you enjoyed your time with us, and having Chris as your guide! Nature is unpredictable, which is why it's always important to have a backup plan when going into the woods, for both safety and satisfaction. Thank you for sharing a successful "pivot" experience and your lovely review – we look forward to seeing you for your next tour!
