Asheville Audio Tour: Tastes, Tales & Treasures of the Mountain Metropolis

Audio guide15 stops

A Confederate monument towers over a city that once crackled with protest and innovation, its shadow reaching streets where secrets lie beneath the surface. Asheville is more than mountain air and craft beer—it’s a city layered with unexpected stories. Plug in for a self-guided audio tour and start decoding these hidden histories. Walk alleyways where famous musicians vanished from the records, linger beside scandals that forever divided families, and stand at sites where daring rebels challenged power. Why did a monument spark decades of heated political battles? What mysterious message is hidden in the Basilica’s architecture? Who flipped a coin backstage at Harrah’s Cherokee Center—and what did it cost Asheville’s biggest legend? Turn corners where ordinary moments exploded into revolutions and step through echoes of vanished communities. Experience Asheville with fresh eyes and let surprise greet you at every landmark. Discover the other side of Asheville. Your story-hunting adventure begins now.
