Great tour of Asheviile
Great overview of Asheville. Guide was knowledgeable. Wish we took the tour on the first day to get a better understanding of Asheville. Sadly waited to last day. Saw many interesting places we could have walked around.

Great tour of Asheville!
Trevor was a delight. Very helpful, knowledgeable, & accommodating. Our only issue was that Viator has the incorrect meeting place listed, as they have recently moved. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Wonderful tour of historic Asheville
Our guide was very kind. We missed the pick up spot and he went out of the way to pick us up so we didn't miss the tour. The tour was very informative and we got to see a lot. I would recommend this for other families.

Tour is not what is described
The description on Trip Advisor does not match what the actual tour is. Instead of this being in the mountains it is a "downtown" tour. Our guide was great but we were disappointed on where this tour took us. The tour we received was not what we were expecting. Also, the pick-up location on TripAdvisor is incorrect. The tour now operates out of the Sheraton not the Visitor Center. Again, our tour guide was wonderful! He did a fabulous job!

Very enjoyable tour of Asheville
What a great overview of Asheville. Flew down from Chicago for first visit to Asheville. Tour guide was fabulous. Jeep very comfortable. Had opportunities to get out of jeep a few times to walk around and see some sites. Worth every penny!!

Asheville, we didn't know that about you!
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. There is so much more to the history of Asheville than we were aware of. Trevor, our guide, was very friendly, informative, courteous and did a great job telling the history of Asheville.
