Trolley Tours of Asheville

November 12th, 2009 by stacy

During your visit to Asheville, North Carolina and this Asheville Inn enjoy a ride on a Gray Line Historic Trolley Tour.  There is no better way to discover what Asheville has to offer than on a Gray Line Trolley Tour.  Hop on board one of the RED trolleys for a fully narrated journey, highlighting the history, homes and hot-spots of Asheville.  Learn about Asheville’s early settlers, famous citizens and illustrious authors through interesting stories and colorful anecdotes.  The tour includes our own diverse Montford Historic District, the Grove Park Historic District, the Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa, award winning Grovewood Gallery,  Art Deco-rich Downtown, the River Arts District and the quaint historic Biltmore Village .

Enjoy the tour at your own pace.  Remain on board the trolley for a  1.5 to 1.75 hour tour, or hop-off at any of Gray Line’s 9 trolley stops to shop, dine and explore, then re-board the next trolley to continue your tour.  Join the tour at the Visitor Center or any tour stop and enjoy a beautiful ride through Asheville. Tickets can be purchased at this Asheville Lodging or at the Visitors center just 4 blocks away.  Tours run seven day a week, March thru December. Tickets  for adults are $20 per person; Children (5-11 years) $10 and children under the age of 5 are carried free.  This is a great way to get familiar with Asheville.
