Paul was a great guide for our hike. Very personable and knowledgeable. Learning about various plants and how to spot them was great, and the waterfalls and views from the parkway were beautiful. Highly recommend Paul and Asheville Hiking Tours.

This was a wonderful, amazing experience! Our guide, Chris led us to three gorgeous waterfalls in the Pisgah National Forest, always checking on each member of the group, supplying trekking poles as requested and taking photos if desired. The waterfalls were simply spectacular. Chris timed the visits well so crowds were low and we really got to enjoy each one. He knew so much about the area, plants and ecosystem, even finding several plants for us to taste, if we wanted to. : ) He explained interesting plants, birds and insects along each trail. I can’t think of a better way to spend a morning in this gorgeous area! Now that I know more about this area and all the other wonderful places Chris mentioned to visit, we will definitely be back and do another tour (hopefully with Chris!). Thanks for a wonderful tour and morning! We loved it!
