Asheville history came to life
Our guide, Peter, was terrific. He was very personable and animated and easy to hear. His information on the history and architecture of downtown Asheville was very interesting and captivating. He was very accommodating to the group that needed coffee - stopped at very quirky cool Malaprop book store cafe. He gave handy recommendations for eateries and other places to return to visit in Asheville.
