Very enjoyable half-day out of town - David was a great guide for our half-day tour. We saw the promised long-range views of the beautiful Blue Ridge and enjoyed a 4-mile RT hike to Black Balsam Knob. It was the perfect way to see more of the area around Asheville since we did not have a car.

Enjoying nature as it should be. - We were lucky... we were able to hike nature trails to falls AND take in the Blue Ridge mountain scenery... all in a long half-day. Everything that we were looking for! Highly recommended. David, our guide, was the absolute best! Knowledgeable of the trees, flowers, plants, etc. etc. for the area. Best guide that we could have had!

Absolutely wonderful! - We had a wonderful hike! Our guide was knowledgable and considerate of the different abilities in our group. We would highly recommend this tour. David has an extensive knowledge of the flora of the area and is a passionate naturalist. His enthusiasm was contagious! We are hoping to come back to Asheville and book more tours with David from Hike, Bike, Kayak Asheville.
