Great SUP tour with awesome guide

We had an amazing morning paddle with our guide Steve! He was really personable and gave us great information about the area and the history of the French Broad. He also had some good recommendations for places to eat and drink while we’re in town. This tour was the perfect way to start our morning and we’d love to come back again in the future!
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hi Kim. Thanks for taking the time to review and so glad you enjoyed your time on the river! Steve is definitely an absolute legend when it’s comes to guiding rivers (believe it or not this is his 51st straight year of being a river guide!), and we’re glad to hear that he helped you experience a beautiful morning on the river. We really appreciate you choosing to paddle with us and hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Asheville!

We had an amazing time on this guided tour with Holly as our guide. This was only our second time paddleboarding so she gave us a quick class and away we went down the river. The scenery was beautiful and Holly was very knowledgeable about the area and provided great restaurant recommendations. We will definitely book again on our next trip to Asheville!
This is a MUST if you visit...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
