The tour was great. We... - The tour was great. We went off the "beaten path" and got to experience some hidden gem waterfalls without the crowds. Our co-pilot Meatball was great and we enjoyed our guide/driver Rich. Rich was super friendly, knowledgeable of the area and provided some great recommendations for local food and drink.

Great Off Road Waterfall Tour - This off-road waterfall tour is an unforgettable experience. Rich and Meatball are a great guide team. The jeep is very comfortable, heated in cold weather and cool from the breeze in warm weather. The off road journey to very different and lesser known waterfalls is magical. Rich talks about nature, history and experiences in the mountain region. You have several stops and plenty of time to create great memories and take pictures. We had our dog on the tour with us. This tour is very dog friendly! Meatball loves other dogs, so not only had the humans a magical time, the dogs had a great adventure together too. I highly recommend this guided and fun adventure.

Off Roading at it’s Best!! - Our tour guides Rich and Meatball were delightful. Rich made our off road adventure so fun and the views were sublime! My son and I had a fantastic time seeing the beautiful undisturbed scenes in the mountains! I would highly recommend the off road tour with Rich and Meatball, who is a chocolate lab!

Fun filled afternoon! - What an amazing afternoon! We hit the jackpot with everything. The leaves were at peak at the highest elevations, the weather was beautiful , the air was cool, and our guides Rich and Meatball were a blast. Rich was knowledgeable, a safe driver and very friendly. Meatball was just laid back and chill and loves peanut butter crackers. Highly recommend this tour with this duo, you will love it!

Great tour. Beautiful views - Had a great time! Meatballs is the best copilot ever! Be aware this is a jeep tour, not an ATV tour.

Amazing Backwoods Jeep Tour - Rich, Meatball, and Anna were amazing! My best friend and I had our first guys weekend in over 20 years. I took him to Asheville to experience the absolute beauty of the region, and the weather was PERFECT. We signed up for a jeep tour to maximize the introduction to the Pisgah National Forest. Rich and Anna really knew the area, and took us to some absolutely stunning spots! I will say this though, Meatball was the only one that gave me a kiss goodbye !

Great waterfalls on this tour along with great Mountain View’s. - The trip was just my wife and I with no one else on board since, we went the last week of August on a Wednesday. Rich was very knowledgeable about the area and the waterfalls that we were taken to were exceptional. Very comfortable ride also.
