I felt more connected to nature during Melissa's forest experience than I have felt in a really long time. Afterwards I felt less stressed, more relaxed and more connected - to myself, to nature and even to the other people who attended the walk. I highly recommend Melissa's forest walks - she is a fabulous guide.

I highly recommend this tour. Asheville was brought to life for us by our guide Tebbe. My sister…read moreand I were lucky enough to book a private walking tour, and it was the highlight of our visit to Asheville. Tebbe is a masterful storyteller with a deep command of Asheville's history, economics, and politics, and he weaves them all together to bring the city to life. He traced Asheville's story from its Native American highway of towns spaced 20 miles apart, through every boom, bust, and upheaval, right up to the residential growth reshaping the city today. What could have been a dry history lesson of dates and buildings became a beautifully described story of how Asheville became the city it is now. Tebbe was incredibly patient with our questions, genuinely engaged with our curiosity, and made the tour feel like a conversation with a new friend rather than a scripted presentation. We found ourselves completely drawn into his stories. This tour sticks out as probably the best city walking tour I've ever taken.

While visiting Asheville for a long weekend from Washington, D.C., booking a Hood Huggers tour was…read moreone of the best things we did. Led by Mr. Dwayne, the tour is an hour and a half learning about the Burton Street Community, a historically Black neighborhood in West Asheville and the victim of gentrification and highway expansions. Hood Huggers was created to serve as a champion for the 1912 neighborhood and its long-time residents. My wife, eight-year-old daughter, and I booked a Sunday morning tour. Since it was just us, he gave us the option to walk it or take his little shuttle. Mr. Dwayne gave us the background on the area before Mr. Cotton, the grandson of the man who founded the neighborhood, joined us with a book of photos. After a drive, we ended at the Peace Gardens and Market, a sacred space for the community.

They are also dog friendly which is a huge plus for us. They are up on the mountain in the middle of the woods so it's nice and serene but only 15 minutes away from the middle of downtown. They have a huge spot of land that has plenty of nature to experience. They have different houses to stay in depending on how many people you have and the little area we were in has 2 other houses together and a communal fire pit and grill. We definitely hope to be back!

We had paid a deposit for two days of tour but when we contacted them 3-4 days prior we received a curt email which incorrectly stated that we were only booked for one day. Most businesses would have at least reviewed emails after receiving a detailed note from a client before sending such a rude response as the one we received. When we asked in repeat emails about what options were available for lunch and other specific questions no answers were received. However, the day of the tour George tried to turn the blame on us stating we would have needed to pre- order the meal with him despite his lack of email response about meal options. We also felt racially profiled since his interaction with my husband who is Caucasian visibly altered in addition to his entire demeanor, once we joined them In the hotel lobby and he realised that the other members of the tour, myself included were black. We opted not to take this tour since we felt that the new terms were different from what was previously discussed (not to mention he promised full flexibility with tours repeatedly on the phone) and we couldn't figure out how he'd be able to take us walking with the boot safely. We also were very specific in prior discussions that we had no interest in visiting the Biltmore estate but this was what George was encouraging us to switch to the day of the tour (once again probably because of his own limitations) He also tried to make us try to sign a waiver but then he got angry and defensive when we politely asked few polite questions about his insurance coverage and things to clarify what he was asking us to sign. Overall, I consider this a near miss event since everything suggested this tour would have been a competent disaster of a day had we gone on the road with George. The tour we ended up taking instead with a different company far exceeded our expectations without any hassle or racist undertones. George will probably try to defend his behavior by accusing us of being rude (this is in response to us asking for clarifications and for what we booked ) but since issues started way back from his side of the correspondence (or lack thereof) you can be the judge of the situation

From the moment we stepped foot onto the sprawling porch of this stately manor, where we were…read morewelcomed with ice cold beverages, we knew our experience at Reynolds Mansion would be one for the books. Paul and Mirlin have taken hospitality to a whole new level. The home is immaculately kept, beautifully decorated and the fragrance of deep, rich warm wood and sweet earthy smoke wafting through the entryway, delight the senses. Each room is unique and well appointed. We stayed in Claudette, where we enjoyed a comfortable king canopy, a private bath with luxurious towels a beautiful overlook of the property and if I fail to mention the automatic espresso machine, I will be doing a disservice. Honestly, it made a very good cup that I enjoyed immensely. The property is gorgeous, the gardens lovely with plentiful cozy seating on the deep set porch stretching the perimeter of the home, providing optimal viewing for an evening firefly show. While Paul modestly described the four course gourmet breakfast as, "just breakfast", I assure you, it was not! I'm including pictures of one morning's fare. We were treated to what I can only describe as masterful culinary experiences. Each served on fine china, crystal and silver. We felt like royalty and were treated as such! As if all of this were not enough, Paul and Mirlin themselves, were the highlight of our stay. We may have arrived as guests, but I feel we left as friends. We cannot wait for our next opportunity to return.
