The hiking tour of the one fall was fabulous. The hike in was the perfect distance, our guide knowledgeable and delightful. Highly recommend

My wife and I weren't completely sure what to expect on this tour, but our tour guide, Mike, took care of us all the way. It had been raining almost daily for over several weeks, and the waterfalls were enormous. The pace of the tour is just right, too. It moves along, so one is never bored, but is not so strenuous that anyone would be left behind. It's well worth the time and money. We'd do it again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I enjoyed our tour with Randy. We saw some pretty spectacular scenery, especially the waterfalls and drive along Blue Ridge Parkway. We learned so much from Randy about the area and nature. If you are looking to do more of a hike, this probably would not be the best tour as it is more driving, but we would recommend this for scenery and discovering a lot of special places!

Thank you for your review! Yes the Waterfall Tour offers our easiest hiking option, and the Guided Waterfall Hike offers the moderate hiking option. (For 4+ mile hikes we offer Private Tours.) We are so glad you appreciated the scenery - it has been a beautiful summer! We sincerely appreciate your review and feedback. Wishing you all my best - Jennifer of Asheville Hiking Tours
