Christa and Luis are fabulous ambassadors of the town and the tour provided us with an entertaining, informative and enlightening insight into the mural and graffiti scene in Asheville, so much of which I had no idea. Kind of a Who knew? experience Their narrative was delivered expertly. Highly recommended for locals and visitors.

Krista was a great tour guide. She is very knowledgeable of mural art and graffiti. I had no idea that was such a rich history of those art forms. Plus we got to see parts of the city that we would have otherwise missed. Krista‘s husband Lewis was the driver and he also provided great tidbits of information. They made the trip lots of fun. They are a delightful couple.

I have lived in West Asheville - the heart of graffiti and mural art in Asheville - since 1996. But I had no idea of the richness and diversity of the outdoor wall art culture until I took the Mountain Mural tour. Krista and Lewis are amazingly well-informed about the history of this art form, and are personally acquainted with many of the artists. I will never look at the local wall art in the same way again. This was the best hour and a half I’ve spent in Asheville in a long time.
