Very enjoyable tour, the water falls were beautiful and Nico really made the tour amazing. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area, the foliage and anything else you might wonder about!

I had an amazing time on the waterfall Jeep tour through Pisgah National Forest! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, from the winding roads along the Blue Ridge Parkway to the beautiful waterfalls tucked away throughout the mountains. Seeing Looking Glass Falls up close was a highlight, and the stops around the Balsam area offered some incredible views and photo opportunities.
Our guide (Bryan) was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both fun and informative. The Jeep ride itself was comfortable and added an extra sense of adventure as we explored areas I probably never would have found on my own.
If you’re looking for a great way to experience the beauty of Western North Carolina, I highly recommend this tour. Whether you’re a local or visiting the area for the first time, it’s an unforgettable experience that showcases some of the best natural scenery the region has to offer. Five stars!

Well worth it. I enjoyed every minute. The ride was comfortable and the guide was amazing. I would definitely go again.
Cynthia_M, Jun 2026
So glad we added this to our 20th Anniversary Trip. Graham was an awesome guide and so knowledgeable about the history of the Pisgah Forest.
The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. The hikes to Slip Rock and Log Hollow Falls were not overly taxing and I would definitely not miss this activity if you are concerned about that. (I am almost 59 and have had knee and lower back surgery.) Both of the waterfalls were definitely worth the hike.
My husband and I would both recommend signing up for this excursion.
Erin_M, Jun 2026

We had an amazing time on our Jeep tour! The waterfall views were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire experience was unforgettable. Our guide, Niko, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area. We loved learning about the local plants, wildlife, and history along the way. His enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. We had the absolute best time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun adventure and beautiful scenery!

Perfection! It was nice to see so much of the forest and not have to be driving 🙌🏼 Our guide, Haley was the sweetest! I was nervous that it was going to be more hiking than we were up for but it was just the right amount! Do it! You won’t regret it!
Terry_M, Apr 2026
Little bit of hiking. Not overly strenuous but some steep terrain. Guide was delightful and good company

We thoroughly enjoyed our Jeep tour in the mountains outside Asheville. Our guide, Haley, was one of the best parts. Her knowledge about the forest and stories during out drives were captivating. Her knowledge of the local flora and fauna while hiking was just as good.

Our jeep tour with Bryan included a hike, waterfalls, and amazing views! I took my 10 year old son for our last vacation day. We enjoyed being with a group. Bryan has a lot of knowledge of the area, nature and art (he’s also an artist!). He created a fun group vibe, sharing and engaging with the group throughout the experience. He also checked in before the experience with details and I found this to be super helpful. In the trip, he did a great job casting vision on what to expect. I would have lingered at each stop a little longer, but appreciated how much we were able to see. Bryan was a wonderful photographer too helping each family capture the mountain beauty. We would recommend this experience to other families!
Mary_F, Apr 2026
Haley was an incredible guide- patient, knowledgeable, helpful, and excited to be there! She made me feel very welcome and at ease. The waterfalls were amazing and it was incredible to be at two of them with just our hiking group. I would definitely recommend this tour and this company- they reached out to me ahead of time to ensure I was excited and prepared for the trip! I’m really glad I went (and the hiking was pretty moderate as well!).

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!!!

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.
Aditya_S, Feb 2026
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.
