Asheville's Historic Smart Phone Guided App (GPS) Walking Tour
What your day looks like
Explore Asheville's historic city center at your own pace and schedule our smart-guided tour on our walking tour app. 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.

Would love even more detail. Loved the narration spoken by a long gone local. Please include some architecture focused content.
