Great experience! This is a great walking tour. A wonderful way to see some of the city and sample some of the best food that Asheville has to offer. Jacquie was a great guide - engaging and pleasant. Thanks for a great experience.

Go for it! You will love it!! Joe was an amazing host. He was informative, funny, genuine and kind. One party on our tour did not arrive on time but he was vigilant in trying to make sure they could join us. They were able to connect with the rest of the group at our first stop due to his diligence The restaurant staff were wonderful and Joe greeted them by name and shared lots of back stories. He had great anecdotes about the buildings, the people and the history of Asheville which he illustrated with vintage photos he carried. We were all thrilled with the tour. Oh- the food was great too!!! Falafel, pastrami, gourmet chips and a fabulous sandwich, shrimp tacos and ice cream!! Don’t worry, you’ll walk it off!! Go and enjoy. And tell Joe we said hi!

Great restaurant choices; Lindsay was fantastic Great restaurant choices, and Lindsay was a fantastic guide; she had lots interesting info about the town. Starting with a beer tasting at Highland was a perfect choice, and we enjoyed the grilled cheese and cider at Bold Rock. Would have been nice to include a wine option somewhere!

Food Tour in Asheville We visited 6 different restaurants and learned some history and interesting facts about Asheville as we walked to our destinations. Mama Cita our tour guide was friendly and enthusiastic about our locations. Our meeting spot was Aventine wine bar for wine tastings and some local cheese and crackers. Our 2nd stop was Isa's French Bistro in the Haywood Hotel, an upscale restaurant. We were served a waffle triangle with smoked salmon, caviar, veggies and a creamy cheese on top. We also enjoyed a cocktail. The 3rd stop was Strada Italiano where we enjoyed the best dish, a Risotto Ball and Spinach Ravioli with tomato sauce and also a glass of wine. So so good, my only regret was that I didn't have enough time to eat all that we were served. Stop 4 The Rhu for a half of a sausage sandwich and a cup of sweet herbal tea. #5 Blue Cream Curry House for a curry bowl with rice and cut up veggies and also a beer. Topped off the tour with a sweet stop Asheville Chocolates for a chocolate truffle and gelato, both very good. The tour we scheduled was called The High Roller and we didn't feel that all of our stops would be considered High Rollers. We have been on other food tours in any states and countries and this one was a little different in that it seemed we were getting a commercial at each stop and some were a little rushed.
