This was a great experience. Rich and his copilot Meatball (his dog) were great. Rich was knowledgeable and had great conversation about the area. The falls and views were amazing. I would highly suggest this guide.

This is the best excursion and tour I've had so far. Richie our tour guide and his dog Meatball were nothing but phenomenal. Richie was very patient with us and took us to a couple of waterfalls and gave us enough time to take pictures. He went above and beyond. Even though it was really foggy on the way to the top of the mountains, he drove very carefully and he knew the terrain really well which was a bonus. He told us a lot of history about the forest and the waterfalls. Overall the whole experience was nothing but spectacular. I highly do reccomended this company especially Richie!!! Book him and you won't regret it!!

If you’re looking to hike and experience a waterfall along the way, this is not for you. There isn’t really any hiking. However, if you’re wanting to see some amazing waterfalls, and learn a bit about nature in the Pisgah Forest, then this is the place to be!

Went on waterfall tour with Rich and Meatball ( the dog) Rich took the four of us on jeep tour to see several spectacular waterfalls, some on public property and some on private property. We did some back roads and public roads for a total of about 31/2 hours. Rich was very knowledgeable about the Brevard area and park system and extremely happy to be able to take us about. We went on a jeep, which was very comfortable, had heated seats and seat belts. There were six of us total but probably could have held at least three more couples and still been very comfortable seating. We had all the flaps open in back but could easily have been closed up if raining. The waterfalls we visited were an easy hike from the road. It was a very enjoyable ride through the forested lands and waterfall viewing. Highly recommend Rich as a guide with Meatball riding shotgun. Great trip!

This was a great tour, and Rich was such a good tour guide! He clearly likes people and nature, and the combination made for a wonderful experience. The scenery was breathtaking, and Rich’s passion for the beauty of these mountains was contagious. I also enjoyed hearing the info he shared about the area. What a great way to see the Blue Ridge mountains and gorgeous water falls, and I highly recommend this tour.

We had a great day out exploring beautiful NC mountains with our guide Rich! It was the perfect mix of sightseeing and adventure, with the ability to relax and take in the views too. This was truly a unique experience that our whole family could enjoy.
