This tour is so fun and exciting, absolutely beautiful waterfalls. Our guide Amanda was very knowledgeable about the area, and the local wildlife, such a rich variety of life! A must see!

We had a wonderful tour today with two tour guides (Amanda & Paul), showing us numerous waterfalls and part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. My wife and I were thrilled not only with what we saw, but also with all the intriguing information we learned about the flora, fauna and the history of the various parks and forests. Both guides were easy to get along with and extremely knowledgeable and informative. We consider ourselves lifelong learners so plied the guides with questions and learned so much. What beautiful resources - both in the wilderness areas around Asheville but also in these helpful and informative guides. We look forward to returning (perhaps in a different season) to learn even more. Huge thanks to all!

Jennifer was our guide and she was great! She was so friendly, had great conversation, and was very knowledgeable on the area. I learned a lot but also had a lot of fun! Definitely recommend.
