What an excellent tour. Toni was great at communicating from the time I booked the tour throughout the experience. The waterfalls were absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend.

This was a great tour. Tony, our guide, was so kind and thoughtful. He had to cancel my original date because it snowed the day before and roads were still slippery. I easily rescheduled and he offered to get me to the airport if I needed that. He planned everything, including snacks and places for bathroom breaks. Most importantly, he offers pickup from most hotels! He was so friendly and shared Asheville information while driving. Although the Blue Ridge Parkway was closed because of the weather he did drive us back there just to see if it had opened up. The hike was beautiful with gorgeous waterfalls! I would absolutely recommend it.

Wonderful day from start to finish. Tony took us to a few waterfalls. He never rushed us, had plenty of photo ops, lots of bathroom breaks too. Gave us lots of info and history of the area. We are so happy we booked this tour!

Tony was an excellent guide. He picked us up and dropped us off back at our hotel. It was just ladies on the hike and we felt extremely safe. He had snacks and cold water and Powerade available for us. Wonderful Experience! Would definitely go with him again.

We had such an awesome time on the Blue Ridge Parkway Waterfalls Hiking Tour! Our guide, Tony, was fantastic from start to finish - he picked us up right on time at our hotel and never made us feel rushed. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the Blue Ridge Mountains, Pisgah Range, and DuPont State Forest, and shared fascinating stories about the Vanderbilts, DuPont, and the covered bridge at High Falls. Tony also played photographer for us, taking tons of great pictures and pointing out all the best photo spots. He’s super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience relaxed and fun. We loved his restaurant recommendations after the tour too - they were perfect! If you’re visiting Asheville and want to see beautiful waterfalls, learn a bit of local history, and spend the day with a great guide, book this tour with Tony. You won’t be disappointed!

The experience was amazing. Tony was great - very knowledgeable and friendly. We were a little past the prime leaf color time, but the views of the mountains on the Parkway were still breathtaking. One waterfall is right off of the road, and the other two are accessed during the hike. The hike was very enjoyable...the trail was well maintained and wide. Since you are in the mountains you go up and down a bit, but very manageable. Tony keeps a supply of walking sticks in his trunk...I tried one and found it very helpful. He also was well supplied with water and snacks for the ride home. All in all a wonderful morning and I trip I would highly recommend.
