What riders say
Across these tickets travellers rate Gray Line Asheville 4.8 out of 5 from 598 reviews.
As a first time visitor, it was a great way to see the town before deciding where we wanted to spend time. Our guide, Lynn, was knowledgeable and entertaining. Convenient locations for getting on / off the 10 stops. Reasonable price for all day (business hours) service. Don’t forget to pickup your sticker pass before boarding!
Excellent all around. Tour guide was top shelf - quite interesting and engaging. Be sure to get off at the Omni Grove hotel and spend some time there.
A great way to see the sights in Asheville. We enjoyed our ride with Lynn immensely. She’s a great storyteller, has a good sense of humor and has generations of family ties to Asheville. Get on her trolley. She’s a gem!
