What a great tour! We had fabulous guides—Paul and MK, and we saw several beautiful waterfalls—Looking Glass, Whale Back, and Tom’s Creek; saw beautiful views for miles, and learned about (and tasted) cool plants and flowers unique to the Blue Ridge. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating. Will definitely return and would highly recommend!!

What a fabulous review of the Waterfalls and Blue Ridge Parkway Tour - sending you a BIG thank you! We certainly love the good company of folks who enjoy "tasting" the wild edibles and soaking in the views. Can't wait to have you on another tour!

Thank you Asheville Hiking Tours for a wonderful time! My friend and I booked the 5 hour waterfall & parkway hiking tour. Paul was our guide and honestly we couldn't have asked for a better one! He was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and really was such a joy. We could have literally spent all day with him learning about the history, plants, birds, and much more. We'll definitely be booking another hike with Paul next time we come back!
