Adequate - felt like we got the “bum’s rush” - too concerned about the weather that never happened. Like I said - it was ok

Asheville is a great city and it is worth the visit snd the two hour walking tour

Our tour was scheduled 10:00 am to noon. Our Tour guide referred to a private tour she had scheduled at 12.30 and that are tour needed to end by noon. She repeated that a few times during the tour. She walked ahead of the group when we walked to different sites. She really didn’t try to engage with the tour group members. At a few stops she was on her cell phone and of course did not engage with us. Our last stop was at Cultivated, a brewery that specialized in cocktails. She rushed us thru with little dialogue with the presenter. She said we could come back on our own. I really enjoyed the walking tour of Asheville but we have had better tour guides. We paid $10.50 each for the two hour tour. After the tour we always tip our tour guide. We were appalled when our tour guide stated her tip is usual $30 to $50 a person. She stated this is how she makes a living. By the look on the faces of the group members they were horrified also. We tipped a fair amount but not $30 to $50 a person.

I am glad to hear that you think the tour is worth checking out! I am sorry to hear you didn’t have a great experience with your tour guide. We do our best to make sure every guest has a wonderful experience and I am disappointed to hear that was not the case for you! I hope you will give us another chance to provide you with a wonderful tour the next time you come to town on one of our other tours. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you in the meantime
