Downtown Asheville Tip-Based Sightseeing Walking Tour
Overview
Discover the best of Asheville on this 2-Hour Public or Private Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour with Local Guide. As you take in some of the historical city sites and learn about the best places to eat, drink and play, we will provide a map with discounts all over town, including a beer tasting!
This tip-based tour allows you to pay what you think it’s worth in the end! You will learn how Asheville became the unique, quirky city you see now and what we are doing to "Keep Asheville Weird."
Your Local Guide will lead you along the Urban Trail, passing by top sites such as the S&W cafeteria, Basilica of St Lawrence, Vance Memorial, and Grove Arcade. Stop along the way for a private tour of Leaf Global Arts Center. Tastings are provided by local businesses who provide them when open/available.
On the private tours only, we will explore the secret tunnels of Pack's Tavern Restaurant! These tunnels were a part of Asheville's underground clandestine routes used during Prohibition.
