About this trip

Come along with us for a Vanderbilt Christmas. We'll have an early departure for North Carolina stopping at the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Fletcher, NC. Here we will enjoy lunch and a beer flight before taking a Brewhouse tour where we'll go behind the scenes and see the brewing process at work. We'll also visit the warehouse and packaging hall. Driving on to Asheville, we'll check into our hotel and then travel to the Biltmore Estate. Here, we'll have dinner at the Deerpark Restaurant before "traveling back in time." On our self-guided tour of the mansion, we'll see numerous Christmas trees, antique toys and gifts, gingerbread competition displays and more. 


Day two starts with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel. Following breakfast, we'll gather for a hop-on hop-off trolley tour of the city. We'll have time for lunch on your own and shopping before we meet for our ride home. Traveling south, we'll drive through Greenville, SC and stop for dinner on your own. We will end our wonderful trip with a late arrival in Atlanta.

Amazing trip. I purchased this trip for my husband and was not very excited about it. Boy, was I ever wrong. We had a great time. The bus trip was fun with some trivia BMW games on the bus. We had time to explore Greenville and were given maps and restaurant suggestions. Then the most amazing time in the visitor center and the actual tour of part of the BMW plant. It was well planned, clear instructions, comfortable traveling, and a conscientious tour guide with Mark. One suggestion - I would have appreciated a historical/architectural tour of downtown Greenville instead of the "shopping time." Would have been willing to pay extra for that.

A well-planned and executed trip. Complete and clear instructions before the trip and these were repeated again throughout the day. Different options for your free time and activity level were offered. Any problems that occurred were quickly taken care of by our guide. Our guide kept careful track of us and also gave us his cell phone number in case we were separated from the group. Personal attention was given to those who needed it. The food was great, the soccer game was thrilling, and we were very impressed with APlus Tours. We understand why it is called APlus. Only one suggestion - we would have appreciated a short talk on what we were going to see - ie the history and design of the Mercedes Benz Stadium and the current standing of the soccer team United and its key players.

The trip was fabulous. It was an easy, smooth ride on the bus and the lunch and beverages were excellent. Wish we would have known more soccer rules. Beautiful stadium!

It was a great day trip. The transportation was clean and easy, our lunch was very good, and the experience as a whole was great fun. Our host, Mark, made sure that we were well taken care of. Definitely would travel with him again.

I thought the trip was well planned, well organized and well executed. Mark worked extremely hard to make it as easy as possible for the elderly seniors in our group--and he excelled expectations--GREAT JOB!! Getting in the HD backyard event went very smooth, he handled everything! Entering the stadium was also a breeze, thanks to Mark--Good job Again! We had good seat---50 yard line would have been slightly better. May be next time a box seats-IOI! Mark also got everyone to the bus in a very orderly manner with no delays. The bus was very nice, better then the last one to Greenville (BMW). The driver did a great job too! Smooth ride, got us there on time and maneuvered that big rig like a toy car!! Mark has very good communication skills and anticipates the needs of his customers---a real asset! When possible, we'll definitely travel with this organization again--first class!!! Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated! Darrell and Mary Woulf
