For the music and history buffs out there, this tour is for you. Our guide David knows more about local Asheville history and its music history than anyone I know. David guides you through the town and in the two hour tour, regales you with tons of little known details and information about music history in Asheville, as well as some local historical info too. David is a wealth of knowledge and leads a great tour inspired by his love of Asheville and music.

Walked around several notable buildings with musically historical background within downtown Ashville. David told stories and was very knowledgeable. He tried to relate to the artists so that we could understand the connection better. Reached out prior so I could ask questions. Highly recommend!

This was an excellent tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged the entire time. We learned a great deal about the city (past and present), the venues, and the entertainment that has visited or resided in its boundaries and surrounding areas. If you are interested in seeing vinyls made, be sure to go Mon-Fri. I don't think this was mentioned in the advertisement. We went on a Saturday and were disappointed that this option was not available; however, tour was still worth it, even without this expectation being met.
Nice history of Asheville music walk
