This is definitely not your mamma's typical tour bus experience. LaZoom is Asheville's only rolling comedy tour bus with a side-splitting guided tour to Asheville's favorite neighborhoods and landmarks that spells quirky fun for both first-time visitors and long-time residents. It's a hoot (and family friendly - ages 13 & up)!
They have two different tour options: City Tour and Haunted Comedy Tour. Tours run March-December. During March, tours are Fridays and Saturdays. From April through December, tours are six days a week. See below for details on each.
Each tour features a knowledgeable and witty tour guide, a heavy dose of corny jokes, and slapstick characters all along the way, with an innovative and clever blend of fact, fiction, and fun with surprises all along the way.
Tours are 90 minutes long and are appropriate for all ages. All tours leave from downtown Asheville. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early. Before you hop on, you can grab a snack or beer to enjoy on the ride.
Dress for success with the weather, LaZoom is an open air bus. Some have enjoyed dressing in their funnest frocks and feathers to be seen parading through Asheville on the lovely purple bus!
You can purchase tickets three ways. Online, over the telephone or upon boarding. Buying tickets in advance online or reserving over the telephone with a credit card is the only way to reserve seating. Online tickets and telephone reservations are taken until two hours before departure. In addition, they have a ticket "window" on Battery Park Avenue, near Haywood, in downtown.
Watch for special tours throughout the year.
