Fabulous Scenic Tour - Two of us had a great day with David driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He will personalize this tour for you - we are older - don’t hike but took fabulous pictures and learned a lot about the area and my favorite - TREES! Well worth the money.

Fantastic tour! - Our tour with David was fantastic! The scenery along the drive was absolutely beautiful! It was great to not have to drive ourselves -- we both got to look out the windows. We stopped at a number of overlooks and a few waterfalls. Short hikes from the car were easy. We learned a lot about the area, the plants and animals, and historic sites. A perfect introduction to the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Spectacular views - Hiking to a spectacular waterfall. Not rushed. Able to enjoy all of the scenic stops. David was very knowledgeable and just a nice person. Strongly recommend you let the guide do the driving.

Great Pick-up Truck Adventure - This was a great pick-up truck adventure for two couples. We did not have a lot of extra time to go on the many hikes that we would have liked to, so this was the best alternative. We visited some beautiful places, got a lo of background information and met another really nice couple.
