great time for anyone new to the area or just traveling through. Our comedians were outrageous and fun! I actually learned some interesting information about this area of Asheville. We would recommend it to everyone over 13. haha!

Photo of Allison M.

I had gone here years ago when I first moved in Asheville, so this was my second time. It was probably 10 years sense so it was definitely a different experience. I have always recommend in Lazoom as something to do that is touristy, but also worth it, and I stand true to that. They recommend you arrive 15 minutes early and we arrived about 13 minutes early because we could we'd take a few minutes to get the check. We were graced with the chicken of shame but the person who checked us in was incredibly friendly about it and it was all just a joke. However, they run a tight shit so I would definitely get there early. You no longer make the stop at thirsty Monk and you do work I need to purchase your drinks from them. I will say that for Asheville, the drinks are pretty affordable. They have beer, wine, seltzer... I'd recommend getting 1 to 2 for the tour as it lasts exactly an hour. I would also recommend going to the bathroom beforehand or getting there extra early. There was quite a long line for the bathroom. Our tour guide was Lorelei, and they were incredibly well practiced and engaging. They did a great job, mixing history with humor and a little bit of improv. The other staff that joined intermittently on the tour was also an incredible actor. Great theatrics all around. For the price, I feel like this is quite expensive. Especially as you definitely need to tip. I also feel like the route is a little shorter, and you feel pretty rushed so that they can get the next tour started. Years ago I did the original tour and this time I did a haunted one which is offered in October. Honestly, I would definitely go again a few years as they change things up and it's totally worth it.

I did the haunted comedy tour. It was really good. Fun for adults and some great but very silly acting. One hour didn't seem long enough time flies!

lazoom tours asheville

Location We walked through town to the LaZoom HQ. Service Very friendly and efficient from start to finish. Atmosphere Think eclectic and FUN! There is a bar for refreshments and snacks as well as a fun group ft area. When you check in they give you a rubber chicken with a number to board the timed bus. We got there early and were #2. Tour History, fun, music and MORE! Cookie Carter was awesome-started off with two splits! Sister Mary Hairy and Beer Man were not far behind. There are adult and family friendly tours available. Note You can purchase beverages to drink on the bus. There is a half way stop at a local brewery to re-load and refresh. Summary We recommend this tour to EVERYONE touring Asheville. Fun and informative.

We had a great time on the comedy tour. Jessica was fantastic! I highly recommend adding this to your sight seeing adventures in Asheville

What a fun time! I visited Asheville this weekend with some friends and finally took a lazoom tour. I lived here for 7 years so I've seen them all over and never did one myself. We did the haunted one at night and it was very fun and enjoyable!

lazoom tours asheville

Honestly one of the best experiences we have had!! It's dorky, it's cheesy, but it's so much fun! We took our dog and everyone was so friendly with her and checked multiple times to make sure she was okay with the music, etc when we stopped. Everyone was so friendly and really made you get into it. Highly recommend!! Thanks Kelly, Matt, and TB!!

lazoom tours asheville

LaZoom is so much fun! TB and Andrew were terrific. Creative, interactive, good improv, impressive acrobatics. Our guide was a genuine nice guy. Absolutely a wonderful time.

Super friendly staff. It was a great time!! A must see in Asheville We did the ghost tour and would definitely recommend that one.

Lounge

So fun. Did the haunted tour on a whim, best part is watching the chaos of your unexpected friends go to and from the bus. Awesome tour guide, was laughing the whole time. They put so much effort. Would totally do another tour on our next visit!

A great tour!

This tour was so much fun!! We took this trip on our first day of our first trip to Asheville- we got to see different parts of the city with this talented, knowledgeable and absolutely crazy funny tour guides.

I was in Asheville for only a couple days and a Niece, whom lives close by, suggested LaZoom as an entertaining activity. I like doing the 'Home Town Trolley' type buses and thought I'd enjoy this. It was a Brilliant deviation of the home town trolley theme. A great actor, in character of 1700's court jester, treated us with a funny show and history of the city. Many different characters visited us along the way (all played by the same person). TB's British accent just added to the pleasure. I definitely recommend!!

lazoom tours asheville

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the comedy and history on the Hey Asheville City Comedy Tour with the hilarious Turbert Burbage! We appreciate the review and recommendation!

We rushed from visiting the Biltmore House to join an afternoon tour, and we are so glad we did. What a fun, creative troupe of comedians. It was a blast from start to finish. Make sure to join a LaZoom tour when you visit Ashfield!

Thanks so much for joining us on the tour we are so glad you had a fun time and appreciate the review and high rating!

You will laugh until you cry! The team is energetic and highly entertaining. So worth the time, you will also learn a bit about Asheville history!!!

The trip was very informative and fun. Our guide, Brittney was so funny and engaging. Yes, I would recommend it to others to see the city and make it fun!

Thanks for joining us on the Hey Asheville City Comedy Tour, we are so glad that you found the tour both informative and an entertaining way to experience Asheville! We greatly appreciate the review!

Our tour host was funny, witty, entertaining and historically knowledgeable - we loved every minute! The accompanying characters were very entertaining as well. This was a great start to our Asheville trip and a good way for my elderly mother to learn about the area and enjoy the fun!

We're overjoyed to hear that you had a fantastic time on the Hey Asheville City Comedy Tour! Our team takes pride in creating an engaging and informative experience, and it's wonderful to know that our tour host's humor and historical knowledge resonated with you.

U.S. News Insider Tip: Though the Biltmore house has 43 bathrooms, you can’t use any of them, so be sure to use one of the public restrooms by the Stable Café before your house tour. – Lindsey Grossman

George Vanderbilt’s enormous French Renaissance-style estate has a storied past dating back to 1889. Considered America's largest private home, it took six years to build, with 250 rooms including 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms and a whopping 65 fireplaces. The estate grounds designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (who also designed Central Park) cover 8,000 acres and feature nearly 22 miles of trails, gardens, a winery and so much more.

LaZoom Tours

City comedy tours feature outrageously entertaining tour guides, comedy skits, loads of Asheville information and incredible views of downtown Asheville, Montford and the River Arts district. LaZoom’s Haunted Comedy Tours promise to show you Asheville’s strange, sometimes sordid past. You’ll laugh! You’ll scream! You may be made a little uncomfortable by one of our spooky guides. The Band & Beer Ride has a live band playing as the 21-and-over passengers experience three of Asheville’s local breweries. While LaZoom’s other tours are full-on comedy, the Band & Beer Ride is focused on being more “fun” than “funny.” And the very newest, the Kids' Comedy Tour, gives kids the ride of their life!

  • A City Comedy Tour (90 minutes, including a 10 minute restroom break) which is a tour and sketch comedy show, all-in-one. Your tour guide is dressed up in character and they'll be telling jokes while they tell you about the city, and you run into different costumed characters through town. It's historical and hysterical.
  • A Haunted Comedy Tour (60 minutes, adults-only), which is also a tour and sketch comedy show, but with more risque or adult-oriented humor. You'll learn about the dark side of Asheville's history, as well as local urban legends. You're guaranteed to see a ghost!
  • A Band and Beer Ride - a 3 hour long brewery tour with a live band performing on the bus. It starts at a craft beer store and you'll take the scenic route to 3 different breweries with a local band giving a private concert along the way. Your MC will tell you a little bit about each brewery before you get there, and help run the party. Each brewery stop is 30 minutes long.

Buses seat 40 and we do offer private rentals for groups. The largest group we can accommodate is 80. Contact [email protected] for more information about private bus rentals.

LaZoom is a B.Y.O.B. bus tour, so grab your favorite beverage (or a local Asheville Brew) and do what the locals do... "Get on the Big Purple Bus!".
