Our guide took us to see waterfalls and other interesting sites in the area. A.J. was very personal and accommodating. We had a great time even though it rained a bit. The rain had made the waterfalls especially majestic.
We were so looking forward to this trip. However, 3 days before the trip we were phoned by Globetrekkers who canceled it. Apparently only one tour guide available and he was ill. Now stuck with no tours for this day.
We regret this situation happened. Unfortunately we currently only have 1 guide in the Asheville region until mid Sept. As much as we would like to be able to offer alternatives, in this case we were unable to do so. We have no control over sickness, especially highly contagious illnesses. When this happens we don't have much choice in cancelling the tour. We do truly regret that we were unable to provide the tour as planned and we did reach out immediately when we received the information about the guide in hopes you could make alternative plans for your time in Asheville.
The waterfalls were beautiful, hikes were challenging in places but doable. Lee our guide was great, very amiable and flexible to what we wanted to do and prepared, sunscreen, insect repellent, water and fantastic snacks! The time in the car driving to each location was longer than we thought it would be.
Lee was our guide for today, she was just wonderful. So patient, engaging and resourceful. If not for her and left to us on our own, we wouldn't have navigated even 1/10th of what we saw today. Many thanks to her and the tour operator. I would strongly recommend this tour.
The whole experience was amazing!! Adrianna was our guide and she was fantastic!! She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to be with.
It was a terrific day. Adriana made it very enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable about the region and some very interesting history facts. She really made the day. The fall colors were vibrant. In addition to the waterfalls and fall foliage, there were rainbows over the mountains. Excellent day!
We loved being driven around so we could look at the scenery and enjoy the ride. Adriana, was very personable, accommodating and an excellent driver. Her vehicle was very comfortable. She had a box of snacks and a cooler of soft drinks and water. We did wish she had told us more about what we were seeing and the history of the area. I live not far from the area we travelled so perhaps she didn’t feel the need but my traveling companion is not local. But overall, we enjoyed our day very much.
I have previously booked private tours through "Trip Advisor". Each experience has been 5 Stars with the exception of this one. Private tours are pricey but I am willing to pay for the enhanced experience or so called VIP experience. This one has caused me to question whether further private tours through "Trip Advisor" are in my future. Objectively, the tour provided all per the description. However, the area is rich with natural beauty and steeped in history. The information concerning both was lacking. The conversation, as stated by my fellow trip advisor traveler, Nancy, was not appropriate to say the least. During a five hour tour, conversation and some personal information is expected and welcome. The content of the conversation on this tour far exceeded this. At times, the conversation made us feel uncomfortable. The level of disclosure compromised the enjoyment of the tour touched on themes not appropriate for a family. As this is advertised as a VIP tour, it is reasonable to assume a level of professionalism and decorum. Additionally, knowledge is expected concerning the content of the tour. The vehicle needed some attention. It was not mal odorus, but it had a stint that was less than pleasant to endure for five hours. The lunch stop was Tex Mex or Mexican. I, mistakenly, assumed that the stop would be at a restaurant that was not cuisine specific as I do not care for Tex Mex. Had I been given a heads up, I would have opted for another restaurant.
Dear Ms. Philippe-Auguste, We regret to learn of the disappointing experience you encountered during our tour, and we would like to extend our sincere apologies. We greatly value your feedback and take any concerns raised by our guests very seriously. Upon reviewing your comments, we have thoroughly investigated the matter and taken appropriate measures to address the issue at hand. We understand that our guides should always maintain a high level of professionalism, ensuring that personal boundaries are respected and that guests feel comfortable throughout their tour experience. It is with deep concern that we acknowledge the particular incident involving the imparting of personal information and the assumption of your interest in extraneous topics beyond the tour itself. Having engaged in a constructive conversation with the guide involved, it became apparent that her conduct did not align with the standards and expectations we set for our team members. Therefore, we have made the difficult decision to part ways, ensuring that such behavior does not recur in the future. We believe it is imperative to maintain a welcoming environment for our guests, where they can fully immerse themselves in the tour's intended experience without distractions or discomfort. We genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process. It is our utmost priority to provide you with a memorable and satisfactory visit. As an organization committed to continuous improvement, we will be implementing additional training and reinforcement programs to further instill the values and professionalism expected of our guides. By doing so, we aim to ensure that all future interactions with our guides are characterized by the utmost care, respect, and dedication. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Kind regards, Dennis Dunnam Globe Trekkers Tour Co.
The whole day was perfect. Laurie really made the trip! She was so knowledgeable about not only the waterfalls but also things going on locally. I would give her and the trip a 10+ if I could. The number of waterfalls was amazing and some very near the road. The scenery was spectacular. Laurie is a professional photographer and she took some pictures of us that she forwarded to us that were really good. We are not photographers, so that was a real plus for us as well,
The waterfall tour was great. And the views of both the falls and surrounding area was breathtaking. Above all our tour guide Lori was amazing. Knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. We have been on dozens of tours over the past few years and none more scenic or enhanced by such a wonderful tour guide.
