For a state that sees plenty of tourism, from the mountains to the coast, one city is the highlight of an epic experience in North Carolina. The Bohemian vibe, the eclectic locals, the quaint, historic downtown and sweeping mountain views. If you’ve guessed it right, Asheville is a city that many outsiders and North Carolinians alike have on their ‘tourist’ bucket list.
If it's your first time visiting this unique city, you might be wondering the best way to experience it all. On foot? On car? Uber? Research? How about a fun trolley ride!
Asheville Trolley Tours, owned by Gray Line, are the perfect way to experience all the city has to offer. With the hop on hop off option, you can make sure you have plenty of time to see the sights you want to see.
The Trolley Tour not only navigates you to some of the most sought-after tourist destinations in Asheville, but you're also educated on the history behind such an eclectic city. You'll see historic homes, the River Arts District, the Grove Park Inn, Asheville Art Museum, Battery Park, Grove Park Arcade, Thomas Wolfe District and Biltmore Village.
While you might be thinking- ok, cool, but this sounds just like another trolley tour, it's not. Come October (or really, through April) take an extra spooky ghost tour of Asheville through the trolley.
Have your own paranormal experience in one of the most haunted cities in North Carolina. Visit with North Carolina's most famous ghost, the Pink Lady of the Grove Park Inn, but don't let all of the fear out there. You'll also get to experience, learn, and witness about the ghost of Church street, the architect buried in the walls of his own church, the child ghosts at the haunted hospital, the killing spree of 1906, and the arson that killed Zelda Fitzgerald.
It might seem fine and calm on paper, but it's not for the faint of heart. With Halloween right around the corner, this is trolley ride you'll want to take!
With the spookiest season of the year coming up soon, there’s no excuse (besides a little fear) to not take a trolley ghost tour of Asheville. I think it sounds fun, what about you?
