Hop on & Off Trolley - This is a great way to view the downtown vicinity & historical areas! Loved learning about historical features & seeing places we would like to go back & visit. Really enjoyed getting off for 2 hours, to shop & find a place to grab lunch. If we’d started at 11:00 we would’ve been able “Hop Off” at 1 or 2 more stops. Michael was a very knowledgeable & entertaining tour driver/director! Thanks!!

Best Way To Spend A Day In Asheville, North Carolina - We had the best tour! The day started out rainy & wet and so I think that deterred a lot of people from getting out and taking the tour. We were the only two people on the bus so it basically was a private tour. I was visiting my sister in Horse Shoe, NC with a friend and since we had never been to Asheville, we decided to do a bus tour to see as much as we could of the city and learn about the history of Asheville at the same time. Our tour guide, Matt J., did an amazing job of hitting as many of the interesting spots as he could in 1.5 hours. His knowledge of the city and its history was impressive and his side stories of people and events was interesting and entertaining at the same time. Thank you Matt for truly making our day in Asheville a definite highlight of our stay in North Carolina.

Great way to get an overview of Ashville - Well it is a perfect way to get some history and a feel for the different areas. If you want to explore one hop off and get on the next bus! Great for single folks, families or groups!

Don’t do the Ghost tour - Friday we did the tour with Mr. Walt and he was absolutely amazing! The tour guide 2/7 seem to be rushing we were excited to do the second day to see a few of the areas again but he didn’t even go by them. Save your money on the Ghost tour the ladies were nice tonight it just awful with ghost and paranormal information. It was just like the day time tour but she added the sightings of spirits. It was like we heard history over and over 3 times. Save your money don’t do the ghost tour and make sure Walt is your tour guide. During the day he discourages photos and at night she permits them
