Super duper excellent!!! - Oh my! David is very knowledgeable and shares great info with his passengers. Beautiful scenery and a plus was the stops for pictures - David guided us to the best views and even took pictures of us so we didn’t have to try selfies! The BEST guy ever because my husband dropped his phone when we got out at one stop and David kindly went back to retrieve it. THEN at the end If the tour, I left my little purse tucked in the back seat door. We contacted David when we were about 20 miles away and he was SO kind to meet us back at the Asheville Visitors Center so I could retrieve it. And if that is not enough, he gave us delicious cookies that HE baked to snack on. What a guy!!!!!!!

He stopped a number of times so that we could walk around and take photos of the magnificent scenery. We even spotted a family of bears taking their morning stroll along the road in front of us. A great morning out!

Blue Ridge Parkway tour - We were surprised to be joined by 2 other people as we thought this was a private tour for two people. 3 in the back seat was a bit tight we felt.
