I cannot say enough about how awesome my experience was with this group of people. They were extremely friendly, polite and thoughtful of our wants and needs at all times. If you don't want to read any further, I think you're making the right decision if you choose them! Our guide Paul was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of very interesting facts about local animals, plants and history of the Pisgah National Forest. He kept our little one engaged and excited to explore. It was amazing. I had actually contacted Asheville Hiking Tours in advance about plans to propose on our tour and the worked with me from day one with suggestions and helped me plan out and orchestrate that special moment and captured it with photos! We were also very blessed to have a second guide in training, Kat, who was also extremely fun and came in clutch, spotting some salamanders that our daughter was so excited to discover in the wild. The waterfalls were beautiful, mountains were breathtaking and I felt the personal touch and effort that went into tailoring our tour to our specific desires and capabilities! It truly was above any of my expectations, look forward to planning another trip with them in the future.…

I dont normally leave reviews but this was so amazing that I had to. My tour guide Randy was seriously the best, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and made sure I was comfortable with anything that was going on. I had a blast and those hours flew by. The views are unreal and the hike is very easy. If you're in Asheville you cant miss this. Thank you so much for an amazing time and learning experience!…

Spent a wonderful morning with Paul exploring several falls and overviews. Paul was a great guide, full of information and love for the beautiful surroundings. What a great way to experience the falls in Pisgah Forest and the beautiful greenery in the area. Thanks for a great memory!…

Paul did a great job safely navigating us through the Pisgah Forest during a pandemic. He taught us about all kinds of trees, plants, animals, and historical facts about the area. We saw beautiful waterfalls and mountain views from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
