My husband and I were so happy we booked this Jeep Waterfall tour Would recommend the morning tour (started at 9a ) before the crowds and the heat kick in Stopped at 3 waterfalls and a scenic overpass Our guide Tony was so friendly and knowledgable, sharing stories, local history and identifying medicinal and edible plants as we drove and walked in the woods. Definitely recommend !

    What an amazing time! Haley was the best tour guide! She showed us so much and gave modifications for others that couldn’t walk to steeper falls. Her knowledge was top notch! She pointed so many of natures beauty!

    Much needed vacation.

    Clyde_R, Sep 2026
    Wife and I had a great time, driver was well knowable about the area. I recommend doing a tour ride and walking tours to a few waterfalls.

    Guide was knowledgeable...

    Annette_P, Sep 2026
    Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I would have liked to see the Cradle of Forestry. You might want to add it to the tour.

    Tony was a great tour guide. He was very helpful as my husband had trouble with some of the hills. He personalized the tour for us and told us a lot of interesting information. It was a beautiful day.

    Great Experience

    Richard_G, Aug 2026
    The Jeep tour was a wonderful experience. It was the perfect mix of nature destinations- hiking trails, overlooks and jeep views. The waterfalls were beautiful and even better- quiet as opposed to crowded tourist stops. Our tour guide Graham was knowledgeable and engaging. He shared interesting information from geology, botany, wildlife, local lore, history and forestry. It was a great time. The meeting location was convenient and strategically positioned right at an entrance to the Park. The jeep vehicle was safe and comfortable.

    Amazing tour!

    This was such a well needed experience. The scenery was amazing and so was our guide Bryan! He was very informative and showed great attention to us all. Bryan had snacks ( which definitely came in handy) water, he took such good care of us. We hiked a little and saw beautiful waterfalls. Once the tour was over, we sat and had a cup of coffee and waited for our Uber. Bryan even took the time to check in and wish us a safe return home, thanking us for taking the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone! The people at these tours are so personable, welcoming and respectful.

    Mild hike + waterfalls

    Rachel_F, Aug 2026
    Kathleen was a terrific tour guide as she showed us around Pisgah National Forest. We got to see beautiful waterfalls via short, mild hikes through the forest. A great way to spend an afternoon outside of Asheville.

    Excellent way to spend a Saturday

    TUCKER_A, Aug 2026
    This was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. Our guide Nico knew so much about the area’s geologic history and about the edible plants in the area that we got an even better experience than advertised. The waterfalls and views were also excellent! I highly recommend this tour.

    Nick was an amazing guide! The mountain tour was beautiful, fun, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

    Amazing drive and waterfall adventure

    Catherine_B, Aug 2026
    Our guide, Kathy, was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history and all the local plants and wildlife. The ride to see the waterfalls was beautiful in itself then the spectacular waterfalls were amazing. I loved how up close you can get to the falls! The hiking was easy enough for my husband with a bad hip but fun and adventurous enough for the rest of us. Everyone in our group, age 14 to 59, had a great time! Thank you.

    If you are into nature or what a change of pace, this tour is for you. Great vistas and views of the Pisgah National Forrest await you on this trip. Our guide, Graham, was super knowledgeable of nature and the forrest, pointing out various foliage and campsites if we were interested. Great tour!

    Leslie_A, Jul 2026
    Beautiful tour, very organized, and the guides are knowledgeable. I found it refreshing that they never mentioned a tip. You see things that you wouldn’t see on your own.

    Diana_G, Jul 2026
    Awesome trip, easy trek, beautiful scenery and very informative. Graham, our guide, was amazing, inspiring us to go out in nature more and explore the beauty of NC in the future!

    Enjoyed by the whole family!

    Lisa_B, Jul 2026
    Today’s outing with Graham was so much fun! We had a great time enjoying the fresh air, gorgeous views, and our tour guide’s informative tour. We’ve been to this part of the country several times, but today, we were shown a whole different view of the Pisgah National Forest. This tour was enjoyed by the whole family and well worth every penny!

    Perfect rainy day adventure!

    Casey_S, Jul 2026
    We booked this tour thinking it would be our best chance to see the beauty of Asheville on a foggy rainy day! So glad we did!!! Because of the weather, the crowds were much lighter and we got to see 4 waterfalls and enjoy some beautiful short hikes doing it. Tony was an amazing guide!

    This was our first time...

    LeAnn_T, Jul 2026
    This was our first time in Asheville and Haley made our tour a very memorable one. She was so knowledgeable and kind and nothing but the best vibes. We ended up going on a hike later based off of a recommendation she gave. 10/10. Thank you Haley and Asheville Jeep Tours!

    Excellent Jeep Tour

    Sarah_G, Jul 2026
    Fantastic trip! Our guide, Graham, was wonderful. The jeep was open on the sides so it was easy to see out and enjoy the views. We got to get out to walk to 2 waterfalls, easy walks. We all really enjoyed the trip! If you uber/lyft out, make sure to schedule your return trip before you leave to minimize your wait after you return.

    Nice but somewhat overrated

    Kay_M, Jul 2026
    We were told we would b able to go swimming but we did not get to do this. Possibly because we got started 30 min. Late. We only drive by one. We only got to go to one waterfall . The tour was somewhat hurried but Kathy did a great job. Just didn’t feel like we got our moneys worth. The group that left the same time we did went swimming.

    Our waterfall tour was...

    Yi_L, Jul 2026
    Our waterfall tour was one of the highlights of our Asheville trip! Haley was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and well-prepared with hiking poles, snacks, and water. The three waterfalls were beautiful, and we learned so much about the area along the way. Haley also recommended the Sierra Nevada Brewery, where we enjoyed a great lunch in the Taproom and took the self-guided brewery tour. It was the perfect recommendation. Highly recommend this tour!

    This is a great way to...
