This is a tour worth doing. Katie was an excellent tour guide and knowledgeable as well. She knew where to get the best views and tailored the tour based on the abilities of those who were with her on that day. We had a terrific time and considered this one of the highlights of our trip to Asheville.

Our guide Katie was amazing! We weren’t staying at a local hotel so she arranged an easy meeting place. She had great knowledge of Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway as well as the local plants/trees we saw on the hikes. She took us to 3 beautiful waterfalls (hiking to 2 of them) and was very personable and friendly. The hikes themselves weren’t too challenging but we did try to take our time and stay hydrated which probably helped :) We plan to return soon for more adventures and will definitely be requesting her again!
