Adventure Tips

Bring Comfortable Shoes

Many tours include stops where you can walk and explore, so wear shoes suitable for uneven sidewalks and light hiking.

Plan for Weather Variations

Asheville’s mountain location means weather can shift quickly; layers are recommended for comfort on outdoor trolley rides.

Arrive Early to Secure Seating

Trolleys run every 30 minutes but can fill up during peak hours. Arrive early to ensure a spot, especially for popular ghost tours.

Use the Hop-On, Hop-Off Feature Wisely

This lets you set your own pace but map your stops ahead to maximize time and avoid missing key attractions.
