We chose this tour since we only had 2 days in Asheville. Chris made it so enjoyable, made sure we got the best views and have us great recommendations for after the tour! I highly recommend this tour for a nice morning adventure!

Glad we could make a short stay even better. Chris is pretty good that way! Thank you for your great recommendation.

We so enjoyed the hike and outdoor classroom experience in your beautiful state! Mike's extensive knowledge of plants, the area, and people made for some fun hands-on (including tasting and smelling some of the local flora) learning as we traversed from one beautiful waterfall to another. Just hiking through the forest was great, and his "personalized" and balanced commentary made it especially enjoyable. Not too many details, but plenty of interesting info. And he was graciously affirming with even the "dumb questions." Great experience!

"Just right" is a big part of what we try to offer; a nature experience that everyone can enjoy. Mike loves to add a personal touch to our tours, so everyone can feel like a VIP. Thank you for your well-written review and kind words!

Mary Kait was wonderful. Small group of six people made the hike easier to navigate because there were many hikers passing by. The hiking stick really helped on a steep climb.
