Pub Crawl

Hello, and thank you for all of your patience while the site undergoes some routine maintenance.
Better Tours of Asheville is now under new management. Don’t worry though, nothing will change in regards to the quality tours you have come to expect from us over the years. There will, however, be some new and exciting developments coming soon. Check back often to see all of the interesting stuff that we’re getting into!
The 2012 season has officially kicked off with a bang, so don’t hesitate to call and reserve your place on the BEST tours that Asheville has to offer. Better Tours of Asheville: We’re not good. We’re Better!

*Unless Otherwise Noted When You Make a Reservation, Pub Crawls Are Currently Starting At Treasure Keeper’s Antiques, Located At 12 Church Street*

Come find out why the Pub Crawl is our most popular tour! Join us as we delve deeply into Asheville’s scandals and secrets over the course of a night out on the town at our favorite haunts. More than just a guided tour, the pub crawl is a uniquely fun way to get to know the town.

Tourists: See the town like a local, lead by a personal guide. In addition to telling stories your guide can answer questions and provide information about everything from dining, hiking, local music and attractions and much, much more. There’s no better, more entertaining, more authentic way to experience Asheville.

Asheville residents: Learn about a side to this town that few people realize ever existed, find a new local hangout, and use your guide to find underground and in depth information about the city.

Some stories featured on this tour:

  • The local headquarters of the largest Nazi organization to ever exist in the states
  • “Buncombe Bob” – Asheville’s most controversial senator and prior owner of the Hope Diamond
  • Al Capone, Mobsters, Bootlegging, and Speakeasies in the Mountains
  • The curse of the Battery Park Hotel
  • Local occult rituals and exorcisms
  • And much, much more!

We’ll visit 4 bars which have been hand picked by our guides.  We will NOT take you to a bar that features a cover charge or dress code.  Tour goes rain or shine, lasts about 3 hours, and advance reservations are required.

We are flexible and knowledgeable about the local nightlife and each tour is tailored to the group we have that night.
