We had an amazing tour with Paul. He was super knowledgeable, very engaging and you can tell he is truly passionate about his job and the forest. Exactly what you need for a great hiking tour! He answered any and all questions and taught us about the forest, it’s trees, animals and even bugs! We would definitely book with him again! Oh and he’s a great photographer too!

Wow! What an incredible experience it must have been to see the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains during the winter season. We appreciate this review of Mike and our company, Asheville Hiking Tours!

We had an amazing time exploring the trails and waterfalls in the Pisgah Forest with our guide Paul. It was our first time in Asheville and first time hiking in general so we wanted to make sure we had a guide. The weather was just chilly enough to enjoy the day while hiking through nature. Paul was awesome and he really made this experience special. His passion, knowledge, and background in forestry and biology shine through and we learned a lot about the area. On top of that Paul is just an overall nice guy (super friendly and helpful). I definitely recommend this tour, whether just for fun or to learn more about nature and the area. On our next visit we would like to try the full day tour. Just a note, just like the rest of the world the company has had to adjust the tour because of COVID by not including transportation (now you follow guide in park in your own car). We didn’t mind at all and it was comfortable for us. But just a heads up! Have an open mind and have fun!
