Well curated list of stops and reasonable time in each location (waterfalls, blue ridge parkway etc). They offer food and energy bars, which is great. Nico, our guide, was very worldly and talented. The best pisgah tour! Would recommend again and again.

This was such an amazing and worthwhile experience. I feel like I learned so much on the tour and have enough memories and photos to thoroughly appreciate again and again! Hailey was a gem. She’s enthusiastic and knowledgeable and was such a joy to spend the afternoon with on the tour. Will recommend to friends and family!

This tour was excellent. Brian was a very interesting man and knowledgeable about the area. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone but especially good if you are only spending a short time in the area. We felt we saw the best of the area, and a bonus, Brian recommended a great restaurant serving great quality local food.

Old and Young Adventure

Melanie_C, Mar 2026

Jeep ride was fun, hikes weren't too difficult and Bryan was great. He knew a lot about the area. I recommend this tour for young and old! I'm 70 and my grands were 7, 12 and 13 and we all had a good time. I paced myself on the hikes and was able to see all the falls with the longest hike being about 1.5 miles round trip. Even in cooler weather with highs in the mid 40s it was comfortable. We were with two other groups and enjoyed each other's company. Bryan was great with the kids and even took my 7 year old down to Looking Glass Fall. I chose to not walk down the stairs right to the fall because the older kids wanted to stay behind. The fall is on the main road and it's just a simple walk up and down stairs, so I could have easily made it. We were offered blankets for warmth, water and snacks whenever we wanted them. The heat also kept us warm. Bryan made certain everyone was comfortable and ensured our safety both in the Jeep and on the hikes. He even got us to all yeehaw and woohoo together on the gravel road section which was off the beaten path with lots of twist, turns, and spectacular views. We also went up on the Blue Ridge Parkway for the view and no one was disappointed! I'm not in the best athletic shape, but was glad I went on this tour! If I can do it I think most people could take this tour as long as you can walk and don't have any conditions that limit your balance. (I even had back surgery and shoulder replacement). So go have some fun with your kids. I give it a solid 10 out of 10!!!

A must do

Worthwhile

Flo_S, Aug 2025

Had a great time during this excursion! Learned so much about the forest as well as the native plants we saw quite often. I was a solo traveler but definitely didn't feel like it, as everyone was so welcoming and outgoing. I could have stayed there all day; the views were amazing. This tour company knows all the best spots. Highly recommend!

Fallonhammer, May 2025

We had a fantastic time and Brad was an amazing guide. He tailored the adventure to our ability and took some different stops based on what we were discussing as a group. He also had some great nature facts and was always there to offer a helping hand for members of our group who needed a bit more assistance. Could not recommend this tour enough!

You are so kind! Our guides try really hard to tailor the tour to fit the group! Thanks for this review!

We had a wonderful tour guide Sutton. He was very knowledgeable of the area and the of the nature around us. We did the morning tour. So glad not many people around. The waterfalls were breathtaking. The paths were good hiking paths not sidewalks I would do this tour again and again.
