Super knowledgeable and...

David_S, Aug 2025

Super knowledgeable and friendly guide, Dave, did a great job not just talking about the music history of Asheville but other information about the city that helped form a great backdrop for the tour!

Great tour

For the music and history buffs out there, this tour is for you. Our guide David knows more about local Asheville history and its music history than anyone I know. David guides you through the town and in the two hour tour, regales you with tons of little known details and information about music history in Asheville, as well as some local historical info too. David is a wealth of knowledge and leads a great tour inspired by his love of Asheville and music.

Five Stars! Book this tour. It’s exceptional!

Great historical tour

Julie_B, Jul 2025

Walked around several notable buildings with musically historical background within downtown Ashville. David told stories and was very knowledgeable. He tried to relate to the artists so that we could understand the connection better. Reached out prior so I could ask questions. Highly recommend!

Linda_R, May 2024

Our meeting point information was accurate and David was right where he said he would be. He knew so much about Asheville’s music scene and also its history and we were amazed with the knowledge he imparted. He was interesting and funny and when the tour was over, I knew i will keep Asheville on my radar and a return trip is definitely in our future.
