4.00Be prepared to be left on the other side of downtown & find your way back to where the tour began. Otherwise, the tour was great. Lots of good information and interesting stories.
Don't miss doing this when you come to Asheville. Ask for Tebby!

5.00We truly enjoyed our history walk with Tebby. We learned so much about Asheville and her history, and Tebby knew it all! It was a delightful two hours that I'm really glad we did.

5.00Had a great time and learned a great deal about Asheville. Wish I would have done earlier in my trip as additional areas of Asheville could have been explored.
Great introduction to Asheville history and architecture!

5.00This is a 2 hour walking tour that covers the history of Asheville through its buildings and neighborhoods. Our guide was lively and fun and knew how to present the material so that those who knew nothing about the social and political history could follow and those who knew a fair amount were delighted by the new information. The walking part was not strenuous and the sites were charming. Highly recommended!
Very knowledgeable !

4.00This was our first visit to Asheville. The tour guide was a 30 year resident of Asheville and his depth of knowledge of the architecture, history and politics were impressive. We would recommend the tour!
