Great tour - This is a tip based free Walking Tour. No need to book via Viator, just reach out to the company directly. Our guide was Mike, and he was very interesting and informative. Our tour was about 2 hours long, and we walked about 1.5 miles through Downtown Asheville. It was a great tour, Mike filled us in with history and fun facts about Asheville. He also gave us recommendations for later during our visit. Highly recommend it!

A great way to start a visit to Asheville! - We enjoyed our recent tour with Judy. It was a nice mix of history and suggestions for shops, restaurants and attractions to explore more during our time in Asheville.
We started our visit to Asheville with the tour which was very helpful as it gave us good ideas for places we wanted to return to during the balance of our stay.
