Keith was our tour guide and he was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and took us for a wonderful hike to the waterfalls. He also was very helpful with my husband with a bad knee, made sure he didn’t slip while near the falls. Great tour

Great low key hiking

Keith was a great tour guide! We loved that he kept us informed a day before the trip as well as the morning of. Pick up time was perfect and really liked that during the drive he had a headset/microphone so you could hear everything. He has a wealth of knowledge on so much history as well as fauna and flora. Great trip overall.
We felt like we could have done a little more strenuous and longer hike. The drive to and from hiking felt long to us, but also recognize that it takes time to get to beautiful waterfalls.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Thank you for joining the tour and it was great to meet you both , we appreciate your thoughtful words. The hiking portion of the trip (about 2 hours) is easy to moderate in terms of difficulty for the purpose of this particular tour and you are correct, the ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway is the shortest route to the falls that we visit. We are always looking for ways to improve the experience we offer and thank you again for your comments..

Keith was an amazing guide, made us feel like he was apart of the family. Made sure we were safe and still having a blast at the same time. He was a very funny and down to earth guy no pun intended lol. Learned a lot from him and went to one of the waterfalls that was filmed in the hunger games! That was awesome. Had great snacks and drinks. Loved that he offered to take the pics of me and my husband without us even having to ask. Thank you Keith we appreciate you. Love Megan 😊

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
