Description:

Everyone living in Asheville is aware of the Purple Bus that is the hallmark of La Zoom Tours. That crazy bus served as the premier introduction to my beloved Asheville. While in search of a parking place in the Grove Arcade area, trying hard not to run over any pedestrians I noted what appeared to be a Nun running along side a big purple bus. Emanating from within, I could hear riotous laughter, see folks waving to passerby’s and noted that everyone was waving back. La Zoom is such a blast that the good time is practically infectious and engenders participation not only from the audience contained within the tour bus but anyone viewing this vehicular spectacle. No one would NOT want to board the Purple Bus because it is crystal clear, everyone in there is having a way good time.

LaZoom is at the very least a comedy show on wheels. It is also a fun, fact finding, BYOB tour about Asheville. This bus generally picks up at 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at the French Broad Co-op (90 Biltmore Avenue). Always check tour times each day online because on holiday weekends or at particularly busy times, they run afternoon tours too. Tour goers are able to board 15 minutes before the tour bus leaves but the line begins earlier. Be there half hour before tour leaves. This tour is approximately 90 minutes in length with a 10 minute stop at the Thirsty Monk. The purpose of this stop is dual natured. It allows for a bath room break and also provides an opportunity for age appropriate participants (21 in North Carolina) who would like to have a beer or some wine during the tour but did not bring their own, to enjoy a container or wine or beer. They ask that you board the bus with the alcohol container closed. They will open it for you once you have re-boarded the bus. Augusta Wind, one of the tour troubadours is quite randy and also handy with a bottle opener let me just tell you!

Should you seek to know more about the “darker” side of Asheville- La Zoom has that covered too. The LaZoom Haunted Tours. This tour departs from right behind the Thirsty Monk Pub (92 Patton Avenue) and is an adult only tour. Content is geared to same. All passengers must be at least 17 years old. It is not for those easily offended or the faint of heart as it delves into the macabre mysterious, wickedly devious, corruptibly creepy and horrifically homicidal activities all cities share at their core. The cast of characters encountered on this tour will bring fear to your heart and specters to your eyes. It’s every ghostly thing you always hoped for in a haunted comedy tour.

Parking is available both on the street and also in parking garages at both locations: French Broad Co-Op/Thirsty Monk Pub. Bring Change if you plan to use the meters. After 6:00 p.m. there is no need to pay the meters.

Cost: City Comedy Tour: $24
Cost: Haunted Comedy Tour: $21

From the Author: Asheville has a lot of anecdotal information and this tour is one way to discover the more obscure facts but that isn't the reason to get on the Purple Bus. If you are looking for an uproariously good time, more laughs than the law allows and just enjoy being in the company of folks having a really good time-Do this tour. They offer both a city comedy tour and as well as a haunted comedy tour. You must be at least 17 to attend the haunted tour.
