Why take this to
- Go at your own pace and schedule. The tour NEVER expires.
- Stop anytime, get a drink, meal, explore, and continue when ready.
- Listen again after taking it in person.
- Professionally produced with top notch narration and music to set the atmosphere.

We are going to pass many points of interest and I won’t be surprised – or upset – if you want to pause the tour and browse in one of the many unique shops or art galleries or if you want to stop and recharge at one of the great restaurants or bars. I’ll just wait patiently on the sidewalk and when you come back out, we will resume the tour when you are ready.

Try doing that on a group tour!! Are you ready? I’ll meet you just outside the Asheville Art Museum at the blue orb at Pack Square.
