My wife and I had an amazing time on the tour with Paul as our tour guide on the waterfall excursion! If you like to hike and see some natural beauty, this is the place to go! I had signed up for the Waterfalls and Blue Ridge Parkway Tour in which was not that difficult in hiking trail. In total, we may have hiked a total of ~3+ miles and it was not that difficult and my wife and I are inexperienced hikers. The hardest part was the second waterfall that went up in elevation slightly.
We had went the first week in February. Paul had said that winter is usually their slow-season because of the cold. Because of the time that we had booked the tour, my wife and I were the only people on the tour; so we had basically a private tour.
The best part of the tour was our guide, Paul! He was so informative and very personable. He knew so much of the history of Pisgah National Forest. He was very helpful to by bringing hiking poles for us which came so much in handy. NOTE: I wouldn't expect to have your guide bring you hiking poles since there could me more people that they may not have enough for everyone. Since we were the only ones on the tour, he was happy to be our "personal" photographer for different part of the hike/tour. He made sure we were ok every step of the way whether it was driving to the different hiking trails, making sure of our well-being during the hike, or even if we wanted to do a little more than the basic parts of the tour.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Asheville especially if the other tour guides are anything like Paul.
