Greg was wonderful guiding us on this hike! He shared so much knowledge of the area and the different things you saw during the hike, made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable the entire time, and was a bunch of fun for the whole group together. He even took tons of pictures for us that he shared at the end of the day! I would recommend hikes with Greg to anyone visiting, and would definitely do another trip the next time we visit Asheville!

Highly recommend this hiking tour. Greg is so knowledgeable about the area and an amazing guide. It started off extremely cold at 23 degrees but the hike was so enjoyable you barley noticed the cold. Dress in layers and Greg brings snacks.

Greg is a fabulous guide! We use private guides whenever we travel, usually a city tour. On our recent trip to Asheville we had Greg guide us on a 4 mile hike through the Pisgah National Forest and the Middle Prong Wilderness. His knowledge is superb and he shared fascinating information with us throughout our time with him. He also took lots of photos of us out on the trail then uploaded them to us afterward. He supplied snacks, water and gatorade. He is probably the best private guide we have ever encountered. Strongly recommended!!!

An unforgettable hike! This was our first time here in Asheville. We could tell our guide Greg, truly loved what he did. Greg’s enthusiasm was overflowing as he made sure all of his hikers could see and experience the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains! He knew where all the best secrets were located, he was professional and ensured we were all safe at all times!! We used trek poles as this is how we hike ; Greg had no problem with that.Highly, highly recommend this hike!
