    We visited Asheville and wanted to spend one of our days seeing the Blue Ridge Parkway and mountains but didn’t want to have to plan it ourselves. This tour was so fun with Tebby driving us and he was so knowledgeable, fun and knew just where to take us for a low impact trip to see the sights and we really enjoyed ourselves. He first took us to see the village in town, then to around the mountains and a scenic place to eat lunch. Highly recommend this tour.

    Our guide, Jason, whom we booked through TravelCurious was excellent. Guiding is a side-hustle for him, as he works full-time in the Asheville brewing scene. From eastern NC, he has adopted the mountains of the west and embraced them as his own. We opted for a driving tour of the Blue Ridge Parkway, because we knew that if one of us had to drive, he or she would miss all the best vistas. (Someone has to watch the road for deer and elk, after all). Jason knew all the best places to pull-over for us to take pictures; he talked about the history of Blue Ridge Parkway and some of the environmental and engineering challenges its construction posed. He built time into our schedule for a stop at the Folk Arts Center, near Asheville and then through the River Arts District, since we told him that was our destination the following day. He was solicitous of my wife's difficulty in handling Mt. Mitchell. At 6,000 feet, it's no issue for most people, but she doesn't do well above 4,000'. Knowledgeable and well-read, he was an excellent lunch companion as well. Jason was fully vaccinated and was willing to defer to our wishes regarding masks. (We opted for no masks, except in NPS buildings, which require them).
