Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for kids on this walking tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for kids, but I would say it's best suited for ages 10 and up since the tour involves some walking and historical discussions. Younger kids might get bored. As a tip, definitely bring some water and maybe a snack, just in case!

Q: How do we get to the Grove Arcade? Is parking easy?

A: The Grove Arcade is located right in downtown Asheville, which makes it pretty accessible. There are several parking garages nearby. I recommend the one on Biltmore Ave; it’s close and usually has spots available. You can also check street parking but be mindful of the time limits!

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Any recommendations?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking for a couple of hours. I also recommend dressing in layers because Asheville's weather can change quickly. And don't forget a hat and sunscreen if it's sunny!

Thinking about gifting the Asheville Private Walking Tour!

I'm considering this walking tour for my parents' anniversary. They've never been to Asheville, and this seems like a great way to see the city. The tour starts at the Grove Arcade, which I've heard is beautiful, and ends at Pack Square, which looks so nice. Has anyone done this? How was the guide?

Anyone experienced the Asheville Private Walking Tour?

I just booked this tour for my birthday next month! I’m so excited. The Basilica of Saint Lawrence looks stunning, and I've always wanted to see the Thomas Wolfe Memorial. Just hoping the weather is good that day! Any tips for the best experience?
