Affordable Vacation Idea! Discover Budget-Friendly Adventure at Andrews Valley Rail Tours
If you’re looking for a memorable vacation that won’t drain your wallet, head to the scenic region of Andrews, North Carolina—and treat yourself to a ride with Andrews Valley Rail Tours. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this unique experience offers an affordable adventure at $59.99 per person for a roughly 9-mile, 2-hour round-trip. Andrews Valley Rail Tours
There are several ways to enjoy the ride: pedal-assist four-person railbikes, a non-pedaling passenger cart (great for families or anyone who prefers relaxing), a gas-powered “Choo-Choo” speeder, and even a conductor-experience ride for train-enthusiast vibes. Andrews Valley Rail Tours

One of the standout features of the tour is the destination: the historic hand-carved Valley River Tunnel, cut in 1894. The tour’s web page invites you to “take in the views” en route, including mountain rivers, streams, nine open deck railroad trestles, and ultimately the tunnel destination where you can disembark for about 30 minutes to explore, picnic, or wade in the river. Andrews Valley Rail Tours
The setting around Andrews offers more than just rails and tunnels. You’ll roll past cow pastures, forests, and rushing mountain creeks—an open-air ride that immerses you in nature’s slower pace. As echoed in visitor reviews, the staff are friendly, the scenery is gorgeous, and the experience feels like a little time capsule away from the usual tourist bustle. Andrews Valley Rail Tours

For a budget-savvy traveler, this makes perfect sense: relatively low cost, minimal gear required (closed-toe shoes advised), accessible for families and groups, and offering a unique mode of travel through WNC that you won’t find every day. Pro tip: book ahead (seats are limited); arrive 30 minutes early for safety briefings; bring water, a snack, and maybe a small cooler if you plan to enjoy a picnic at the tunnel stop.

Simply put: Relationships. We pride ourselves not only in our professional service but more importantly in the personal touch we bring to our business.

Genuinely caring about the people we serve enables us to do things other agencies can’t. Rest assured, we will ALWAYS have your best interest at heart and work vigorously to get you the best deal possible on your home or business. The relationships we build with our clients enable us to work 100% by referral.
The reason we are able to give top notch service to our clients is because our clients refer us a constant stream of quality family and friends to assist in their real estate needs. While other agents are out making cold calls and chasing “potential” leads, we are freed up by our referral base to service our clients like no other broker can. We are never too busy for your referrals!
