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.
Thank you, and I am happy that you enjoyed the hike, and the beautiful views along the Blueridge Parkway. I, very much, enjoyed hiking with you. 😉
The hike was fun and the waterfalls beautiful. Be prepared for trails being blocked by fallen trees and maybe having to pivot.
Thank you, Donna. Yes nature is full of surprises, as we found out on our hike. I always have a backup plan for such events. I am happy you two enjoyed the hike. It was a pleasure hiking with you.
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.
Susan, it was such a pleasure meeting, and hiking with you and Kelsey. It was a very enjoyable day for me as well.
David was knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to spend 4 hours with him. Rick and Sandy
Hey there! Thank you for sharing your get away time with me. I'm so happy you enjoyed the time, and beautiful waterfalls in our incredible mountains.
David was a fantastic guide! We had a great time and enjoyed conversation. He shared local history and personal stories. The description says challenging hike and we all agreed it was a combo of easy to moderate in a few spots. Highly recommend this hike.
I'm so happy you enjoyed our hiking adventure and the conversation. I enjoyed meeting, and hiking with you and Chris as well.
We definitely enjoyed our trip with David. He is extremely knowledgeable. The hike was beautiful. He will tailor the experience to your level of ability and is very accessible if you have any questions.
Thank you, Amy, for this great review. It was a pleasure hiking with you and Eric. I am happy that you enjoyed the adventure.
Our waterfall hike was wonderful. We were able to see beautiful falls hidden in the beautiful landscapes. David was a perfect guide with an encyclopedia of information about the surroundings and beautiful plants that you would never know existed hidden in the lush forest. Highly recommend this hike and our cookies made by David were delicious!!
I am always happy to hear/read that my guests have enjoyed our adventures into this beautiful wonderland. And that you enjoyed my baking. 😊
David was a wonderful guide - friendly and knowledgeable. We did the morning waterfall hike and it was beautiful and also enjoyed the wild flowers he pointed out along the way and the history about the area! Highly recommend
Thank you Brittany, for these kind words. I truly appreciate you and Paul, as I had a wonderful time with you both.
David was an exceptional guide: communicative, kind, and knowledgeable. I was so glad to be able to see some waterfalls.
Thank you, Jennifer, for this great review. It was such a pleasure meeting, and hiking with you and Corey.
The hike was wonderful and beautiful. David knew his way around the park to customize us a path that was just right for our experience levels. He was an amazing guide that was very knowledgeable about some of the foliage along the path. The waterfalls are a must see while in the Asheville area and we highly recommend this tour.
Thank you, Steve. It was such a pleasure to hike with you and Diane. And I am so happy you enjoyed the trail and waterfalls. And, on such a beautiful day!
