We would do this tour again in a heartbeat if we return to Asheville. Johnny was our tour driver. He was the best storyteller. He had us captivated, and he was so easy to listen to. My husband and I brought our 11, 13, and 15 year old kids, and they couldn’t quit talking about how Johnny was the best, and every time they hopped off the trolley and then got back on, they were trying to spot the trolley pulling up and see if it was Johnny driving it. My sister and her family were with us. They decided to use the second day free option and return the following day. They were so excited to get to hear his stories again that they texted us just to let us know he was driving their bus. Thanks for a wonderful experience. I do hope you will pass this on to him! :)
