We signed up for both versions of the tour, one at the beginning of our weekend in Asheville and the other at the end. They ended up being the perfect bookends to a wonderful trip. We expected to enjoy them, but they exceeded expectations. We never could have guessed how much fun we would have and how interesting they would be. Tadd was our guide and he is absolutely terrific! He's definitely a character, but we thoroughly loved him! He's exceedingly good at what he does and is full of enthusiasm as well as being a font of fascinating information. We can't thank him enough for not only providing a wonderful experience but also for recommending one of the best podcasts we've ever listened to - "Old Gods of Appalachia", an anthology of ghost stories set in old Appalachia (couldn't help giving that shoutout as well). We can't recommend this tour highly enough.
