Girls trip - We had a great time! Guide is funny and informative. Awesome experience. Only issue is having to get back to your car at the end.

Canoe and brew - Great way to spend the afternoon on the river in Asheville. Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the stop at the Wedge, having a beer and wandering through stores and seeing art.

Ca-brewing Lite - Nice, cool, relaxing way to visit some local places you probably would not even know about, and enjoy a few local brews. Cody, our guide, was great; he had everything timed very well but still let us go at our own pace.

Lazy Afternoon Float - Great, wish it was just a little longer, but guide was excellent both on the water and sharing stories about the breweries.
Very much worth the money..

Brewery Canoe Tour June 2024 - Very relaxing cruise down the French Broad River with two stops for beer. Our guide (Tim) was very entertaining and made the trip even more enjoyable. The beer at The Wedge was very good and the whole art area around that brewery was great.

Great trip for couples or groups! - The canoe trip was great fun and relaxing. Tim, our guide, was friendly, patient and had a great sense of humor. We enjoyed sampling beers at the stops and had some great food at 12 Bones. Definitely a fun trip for couples or groups! You don’t need a lot (or any) experience canoeing to fully enjoy!

Perfect Trip To Drink Some Beer and Relax - 4 friends did the Asheville Brewery rafting trip with Walker as the guide. Walker was an amazing, social and entertaining guide. We had a great time on the raft and at the breweries with everything planned out perfectly.

Fun but probably would not recommend to others. - Not the most scenic trip. Also was not aware you had to Uber back to start location. This should be clearer in description of trip or transportation back should be part of trip.
