Half Day Hike - Water Falls

Great chance to experience the beauty of the forest. Dave, our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. He assessed our hiking abilities and took us to some great waterfalls. He also stopped at good photo opportunities along the drive. We learned a lot about George Vanderbilt and his many contributions to the area. Dave also knows a lot about the plants in the area. We also got some good exercise! His snacks were a really nice bonus as well

We had a great morning hike exploring waterfalls with David! He shared his knowledge of local history, the forest, and its plants and animals. The small group size allowed us to explore at our own pace, ask questions, take plenty of photos, and make the experience our own. The delicious homemade cookies were a bonus! We highly recommend booking with David!

David was amazing. We enjoyed the hike. The waterfalls were beautiful but what made it special was our guide. He is knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the region. I would recommend this 100%.

What an absolutely lovely time I had hiking with David! His extensive knowledge and authentic presence set the space for an empowering and energizing hike! I cannot wait to return to Asheville with my family to have them experience one of David's curated tours...we've already started discussing it!!!

We had the best experience with David! From start to finish, he made sure we felt taken care of. The waterfall we went to was perfect and we loved driving through the blue ridge parkway after. David is kind, full of knowledge, and patient. I highly recommend!

This tour is highly recommended for anyone who's interested in going on a fun hike in Pisgah National Forrest. We had the chance to see multiple cascading waterfalls, a breathtaking lookout area, and take a scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. David, our tour guide, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He made our tour very memorable. We would definitely book another tour with him.

Had a wonderful 3 hour hike with David. It was just my husband and I so David tailored the difficulty to our level. We hiked to 3 waterfalls in Pisgah National forest then drove part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The hike was easy/moderately challenging and perfect for us. David was a terrific companion. Knowledgeable and interesting, and even a great baker. As other reviewers said, he shares home baked cookies at the end of the hike. They were great! It was a really terrific half day activity and i would highly recommend it.

David is a friendly, knowledgeable guide. We stopped by Looking Glass Falls first which was nice b/c it was pretty much just us at that time-when we passed by later it was super crowded. Then we drove to a trail head & hiked to three different waterfalls along that trail. It felt like we hit some secret spots because we only saw a few other people on that trail & we didn’t even see them until the end. Drove the scenic route back along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The tour is described as moderate & we’d agree with that. (We rewarded ourselves w/ a visit to a brewery later that day!!) It was great, we highly recommend this tour & David, of course:) Next time we visit we will check out one of his kayak tours. 10/10-beautiful- you won’t regret it.

+8

The hike was fun and the waterfalls beautiful. Be prepared for trails being blocked by fallen trees and maybe having to pivot.

Be prepared for the kind of adventure you hope for when you say, “Let’s do something fun today.” The trail was easy to handle and had just the right edge to keep things from getting boring...until we got closer to the waterfalls, where it turned into the kind of challenge that reminds you "if it were easy, everyone would be doing it!". We didn't just admire that final view… we jumped straight into the water like the grand finale the day deserved.
