Niko was a very kind, informative, and fun guide! Never rushed the group, always made sure we were comfortable, and took our group to some amazing views.

This was a good tour for me to get a feel for the area as I’d never been to the Asheville area before. If you find yourself overwhelmed with trail options come on a tour with a knowledgeable guide that knows the area and its history to point you in the right direction. A good tour for novice hikers but still enjoyable for those used to something more advanced. So many beautiful areas to experience. This was a well organized company that used clear communication before and after the tour.

What a great experience! We hiked waterfalls with Chaney, he was a great guide shared lots of great information plus took us to some out of the way falls.
He took time to ask us what we were most interested in doing before we went on the hike and checked in with us to make sure you were comfortable with where we were hiking. Would do this again

I had the most amazing group hike with Niko around Pisgah Forest and waterfalls! He was super knowledgeable about the forest, the plants, the history and geology, you could tell how passionate he is about the land! The snacks were on point, and we got to explore an even longer 6 mile trail. Truly a very special experience, and would highly recommend for anyone visiting Asheville to learn more about the surrounding hikes and area from a local guide! ✨

I cannot rave enough about this company or our tour guide, Tiffany. The waterfalls tour was the highlight of our trip. I am scared of heights and my mother in law has mobility problems and Tiffany was so sweet to accommodate us and all of our requests. She was also amazingly knowledgeable and just fit right in with our family. I was very hesitant when I booked this tour and almost canceled several times, but I am so happy that we went, made core life memories, and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. This wouldn't have been possible without Tiffany. There aren't enough words to describe how thankful we are.
