- ✓Enjoy entertaining live commentary and performances from your local guides
- ✓See the city’s top sights while learning about its history in a fun way
- ✓Don’t worry about tired feet on a walking tour
What you'll see & do
- ✓Our departure location for all tours.
- ✓We’ll pass right through the historic central heartbeat of downtown, surrounded by beautiful Art Deco architecture. This bustling square has been the city's main gathering place for locals and travelers alike since the late 1700s.
- ✓We will cruise under beautiful canopy of ancient trees into the stunning Montford Historic District, a turn-of-the-century neighborhood frozen in time. From your window, you'll admire some of the city's grandest homes—from ornate Victorians to rustic Arts and Crafts bungalows—while hearing about the colorful characters who came to build the Biltmore castle and stayed to build homes for themselves.
- ✓As we wind from Chicken Hill into the River Arts District (RAD), you'll see incredible art painted on historic industrial factories. Along the way, we'll share the profound stories of our riverfront's survival and strength, from the 1916 flood to the recent trials and recovery of Hurricane Helene.
- ✓After the River Arts, we will drive alongside the lively street front of the historic Grove Arcade. Today, this beautifully preserved landmark is home to some of the city's best local makers, galleries, and sidewalk cafes—making it a perfect spot to circle back to for dinner and shopping after the tour.
- ✓Be sure to look up to admire the massive tile dome of this stunning Spanish Renaissance basilica. It boasts the largest freestanding elliptical dome in North America, built completely without wooden beams or steel supports!
- ✓We will wrap up the tour by driving down the peaceful, shaded canopy of Church Street to admire it's breathtaking parade of historic architecture. We'll share how this single, beautiful block became the spiritual and craftsmanship heartbeat of early downtown Asheville. a wonderfully scenic stretch of the tour that feels a world away from the bustling downtown blocks just a street over.
