Eli did a great job. Very knowledgeable guide and fun, personable. Timing with the Fall colors. Other guests in the van were nice. Overall worth the money.

This tour was a highlight of our trip to Asheville. Our guide Paul is a naturalist who taught us so much about the local flora, fauna, and geography as we hiked a beautiful trail, saw two beautiful waterfalls, and drove a piece of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Paul was also a lot of fun and truly loves his job. You won’t regret it!
