A reasonably priced Asheville walking tour

A one-hour architecture-focused walking tour, with historical stories about each location. Might be a bit too much walking for those with mobility issues, but any reasonably fit person should be fine. Priced at only $15(plus tip) at the time of this review, it's one of the most economical ways to spend a fun hour exploring downtown Asheville. I got Katie on her very first tour... she did great! 👍 👍 She was very engaging, and obviously focused on the safety and enjoyment of her guests.
