“George took our group on a hike atop Mount Mitchell outside Asheville, the tour was well organized, fun, challenging and very educational! George shared his wealth of knowledge about the area, the Biltmore Estate and Vanderbilt family. He kept us safe and showed us incredible views! Highly recommend!”
“I hiked two days in a row with George. What a fantastic guide. He took me to five waterfalls and to the tops of mountains where I could see over 50 miles. Good job George!”

“This was my 2nd tour with this company and I found it more enjoyable than the first. What a great learning experience! I have taken visitors to this area with me on the walking tour each time, and this has been a successful way to share the history of the Biltmore Village area. Am sure I will be doing this again with family and friends.”
“We are from all over the country on a seminar in Asheville and were looking for something to do during a break. Happily we found Walk With Me Tours which we highly recommend. George is fun and a great guide. Will do it again when we are back in town. Can’t wait.”
