We had a great time on our hiking tour and thought it was the perfect way to see the amazing sights in Pisgah Forest! Our guide for our tour was Abby and she was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She gave us history on the forest itself, information on the plants & wildlife, and always made sure everyone in the group was engaged and having a good time. We saw 3 different waterfalls and stoped along one of the creeks, while hiking roughly 3 miles during the tour. Abby was also nice enough to offer suggestions for restaurants and other attractions around Asheville. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend to anyone looking to see the sights the forest has to offer without worrying about getting lost or not getting added information along the way!

We appreciate you including additional, helpful information about the hike for our potential future guests. We hope you visit Asheville again and catch us on another of our tours next time. Happy Trails from Asheville Hiking Tours!

This tour was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Paul was friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the woods. He kept the walks interesting. The scenery was gorgeous. Would do it again.
