TRIP HIGHLIGHTS - ASHEVILLE
From Blue Ridge Waterfalls to The River Arts District to Biltmore Estate, you'll discover one of the most vibrant, soulful cities nestled in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Experience the magic of the blue ridge mountains wrapping around downtown, art tucked into unexpected colorful corners, and farm to table bites alongside local craft beer and spirits.
GROUP ACTIVITIES
Grove Park Inn
Lunch on the Terrace
Lunch at the Sunset Terrace at the Omni Grove Park Inn is one of those experiences that earns its place on the itinerary; an outdoor terrace perched above the city with sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views, locally sourced dishes, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you slow down and actually enjoy it. Dress resort casual, and plan to linger a little longer than you intended.
LaZoom Comedy Bus
Climb aboard Asheville's legendary purple bus for the Hey Asheville Comedy City Tour, an irreverent, high-energy ride through Downtown, Historic Montford, the River Arts District, and the South Slope, packed with sketch comedy, real local history, and more Asheville knowledge than you thought possible. It's equal parts hilarious and genuinely informative...and honestly, one of the most fun things you can do in this city.
The Biltmore Estate
No trip to Asheville is complete without a visit to the Biltmore Estate, America's largest privately owned home, built by George Vanderbilt in 1895 as a 250-room French Renaissance château sitting on what was originally 125,000 acres of Appalachian mountain land. From the lavishly furnished rooms and Frederick Law Olmsted-designed gardens to the on-site winery, it's the kind of place that genuinely makes your jaw drop.
Private Downtown Walking Tour
Kick off your Asheville experience with a local-led walking tour through the heart of Downtown, stopping at iconic landmarks like the Basilica of St. Lawrence, Grove Arcade, and the YMI Cultural Center while your guide brings the city's history and culture to life. Along the way, you'll sample local beer and spirits at breweries and distilleries, snag free popcorn at Mast General Store, and soak up the eclectic energy of one of the South's most beloved cities, all at a pace that lets you actually take it in.
Hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains
Lace up and head into the mountains with Western North Carolina's premier guiding service that is locally owned, female-operated, and backed by a guiding team with over 60,000 miles of backpacking experience. The half-day group hikes depart from downtown Asheville, include transportation and snacks, and take you to trails featuring wildflowers, waterfalls, historical ruins, and epic mountain vistas.
Exploring the River Arts District (RAD)
Asheville's River Arts District is a former industrial corridor turned thriving creative hub, where more than 200 working artists have claimed old warehouse and factory spaces as their studios and you can walk right in and watch them work. Spend your free time wandering from building to building, discovering painters, potters, glassblowers, and sculptors, with great restaurants and cafés tucked in between.
ACTIVITY LEVEL This trip includes walking tours on streets & light hiking in the mountains. You don’t need to be an athlete, but you should be comfortable on your feet for a few hours at a time.
