Overview

Explore Asheville's historic city center at your own pace and schedule on our smart phone guided tour on our walking tour app. Why take this to - Go at your own pace and schedule. The tour NEVER expires. - Stop anytime, get a drink, meal, explore, and continue when ready. - Listen again after taking it in person. - Professionally produced with top notch narration and music to set the atmosphere. We are going to pass many points of interest and I won’t be surprised – or upset – if you want to pause the tour and browse in one of the many unique shops or art galleries or if you want to stop and recharge at one of the great restaurants or bars. I’ll just wait patiently on the sidewalk and when you come back out, we will resume the tour when you are ready. Try doing that on a group tour!! Are you ready? I’ll meet you just outside the Asheville Art Museum at the blue orb at Pack Square.

Ashville downtown historic tour

Published on Dec, 2024

This is a really good tour! You go at your own pace and get to see the historic places of Ashville down town. It was very interesting!

Not a bad afternoon

Published on Feb, 2024

The price is right and the host speaks clearly. The GPS feature is also helpful. I got lost a few times and wore myself out backtracking because I was on foot but all in all a good experience. I would recommend it.

The way to go!

Published on Jan, 2024

This was the way to go! It was so much better than wandering around on our own not knowing what we were looking at or its history, and it was so much less expensive than a live guided tour! We especially liked that we could stop and pause and shop or eat at our own pace instead of following a Guide.

Tour of Asheville

Published on Nov, 2023

Easy to follow! We enjoyed this tour very much!! We appreciated the arrow on the app that told us where to go.

Walking tour around AVL

Published on Oct, 2023
