Welcome to Gray Line Trolley Tours. Locally owned and family operated, this story on wheels has been rolling through the streets of Asheville since 2007. And today we’re exploring a few key stops along its fun-filled journey.
We’re starting off here at the Asheville Visitor Center on Montford Avenue — where guests enjoy free parking before climbing aboard one of the iconic red trolleys.
Gray Line offers a variety of tours in this beautiful mountain city, including spooky haunted tours and The Holly Jolly Christmas Trolley Tour that blends local holiday traditions, festive storytelling, and live onboard music. But the most popular experience is the Hop-On / Hop-Off Tour — a 90-minute fully narrated sightseeing adventure that gives guests the freedom to explore Asheville at their own pace.
As you roll along your guide shares great stories about the history of this town and its many characters throughout the years. And the “hop on / hop off” nature of the tour allows you to get out and explore some great destinations.
Destinations like the famous Grove Park Inn that’s been welcoming guests for over a hundred years… the beautiful Art Deco downtown with all its shops and galleries… and the vibrant River Arts District – the Bohemian soul of this arts-forward city.
By giving you time to explore, the Gray Line connects you with hundreds of local businesses – it’s a way to support local… while supporting local – and get a true sense of the heartbeat of Asheville.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time – or you’ve lived in Asheville for years, the Gray Line Trolley Tour is a fantastic way to get out and get acquainted with this beautiful city.
