Highly recommend! Emily was incredibly knowledgable and fun to be with. She made the experience interactive, interesting, and worth remembering. We went to three different waterfalls and as an extra she guided us to two amazing views around the Blue Ridge Parkway. Incredible experience. This should the first activity in everyone's list.

I’m not the most outdoorsy person, but Asheville Hiking Tours and our guide, Paul, made the whole experience quite magical! We learned so much about vegetation, wildlife, and conservation—not to mention the breathtaking views. We can’t wait to come back to Asheville and book another hiking tour!

Emily was an amazing tour guide!!! She brought us to some amazing waterfalls and viewpoints. You can tell how passionate about nature she is and it shows. We appreciated her knowledge and really enjoyed our tour with her!!! The hikes were not strenuous. We got to see some local spots that we never would have found on our own. We highly recommend this tour!
