I did the Blue Ridge Parkway South tour. It was fantastic. I loved the stories and the writing and the music.

This was the perfect way to experience the Road to Hana. GPS is very accurate and does great with stops and resuming wherever you start back up. As a bonus I live in Virginia and am excited to try the tours on Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah.
