AJ Wowed Us With Blue Ridge

Helena_F, Jul 2026
AJ was our tour guide. He reached out to us with specifics of what we would visit for our inputs weeks before the trip. We have had dozens of private tours. AJ stood out for his thoughtfulness, subject knowledge, flexibility and respectfulness. I would recommend him to our friends and neighbors without reservation.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you you both were a pleasure. It was definitely fun and what an adventure showing you guys around. Two world travelers that loved my backyard made me feel great. I hope you’ll come back to Western North Carolina sometime and see some more of the beauty in store!

Top experience, great customization, 100% recommend

Kevin_K, May 2026
Absolutely outstanding - our guide AJ reached out days in advance to understand our expectations and help customized based on weather forecasts, and continued customizing throughout the full 8 hour trip. We felt we covered all essentials in just one day trip and never felt rushed. We stopped for great BBQ and later also for ice cream and also took a lovely stroll through Sylva. Would 100% recommend!

Great trip

Adriana was a wonderful wealth of knowledge and she knew just where t he e best spots for fall color were located . She made the day a truly memorable experience.

Brendan did a great job...

Connie_B, Oct 2022
Brendan did a great job of personalizing our trip. We saw the best of color that was available at this early time in the season. He was extremely knowledgeable of plant life but also area history as it relates to the Parkway and surrounding area. Loved the day! It was perfect.

Beautiful & Interesting

Margaret_D, Jun 2022
The tour was truly beautiful & interesting, & Brendan was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable, friendly, & helpful. He made sure we had a wonderful time & saw lovely sites.

Peaceful day of beauty

Caroline_B, Oct 2021
It was so nice to have been picked up and dropped off at our hotel by Jason. Jason was a fabulous tour guide. He was personable, respectful and knowledgeable. We had lunch together at a beautiful stop along the parkway. Mt. Mitchell was breathtaking. The day couldn’t have been more perfect. I recommend the tour with Jason 100+%.

Spectacular Color of the Blue Ridge Mountains

Janet_W, Oct 2021
Jason, our tour guide was just the best. He made sure that my friend & I had absolutely everything we needed for a full day’s journey into one of the most glorious National Parks. I had seen parts of the Blue Ridge Mtns in Spring & Summer, but Fall was the most spectacular. Jason took us for hikes to waterfalls we definitely would have missed on our own. This trip is worth every dollar.

Love it
