Fun family adventure in the water! - Our guide Tim was great! Fun, personable & very helpful. He told us everything we were going to do, & explained it in great detail ahead of time. Instructions to sign waivers came a couple days ahead of the trip. Tim was very organized & thorough. We really enjoyed the stops along the way. Thanks for a great day! ☀️ The Brewer family

Brew Canoe for 2 - We were visiting from out of town looking for something fun and different. Tim was a great guide with better jokes. Beer was delicious and it was nice to visit with some other people from different states.

Enjoy the river and the beer! - Our first ride share cancelled, and we were 15 minutes late. We were stressing, but they communicated and waited. Tim was a great guide. A gem of the area. First stop was 45 minutes, but an hour would have been better. Regardless, it was a hoot on the water and the barroom. Would love to come again with more friends!

Beer on the Broad - Our guide Tim was friendly and fun to have a few beers with! Quality beer along the way while canoeing the French Broad River. A nice hike along the river back to our parked car. I recommend this for anyone 21+ looking for a great day in Ashville

Relaxing day on the river - Enjoyed seeing the River Arts District and trying beers at the wedge and 12 bones brewery. Really liked New Belgium Brewery. Tour guide was informative and easy to talk to. Thought the unloading spot at River Arts District could have been a little nicer and easier. Also, think price was a little high for what was provided.
