Let’s be honest, nobody has ever returned from a ropes course and said, “I feel so much closer to my boss now.”
Sure, dangling from a harness while Chad from Accounting yells encouragement from below might build trust. But does it create the kind of workplace memories people bring up six months later over coffee?
Probably not.
If you’re planning a corporate retreat, team outing, leadership summit, strategic planning session, quarterly off-site, annual meeting, or whatever fancy name your company uses for “Let’s Put Everyone in the Same Place for a Few Days,” Asheville has a better option.
Get on the bus. Not just any bus, a LaZoom bus.
Nothing Says “Team Building” Like Surviving a Comedy Tour Together
At LaZoom, we’ve spent years proving that the fastest way to get strangers talking is to trap them in a brightly colored bus with comedians.
Our tours are designed to showcase Asheville’s weird, wonderful personality while giving your team something increasingly rare in the modern workplace: a shared experience that doesn’t involve a Zoom link.
No trust falls. No matching t-shirts. No awkward introductions where everyone says a fun fact about themselves. Just Asheville, laughter, and the realization that your CEO is way funnier after one local beer.
Option 1: Hey Asheville
The City Tour for People Who Hate City Tours
You know the city tours we’re talking about. Someone points at a building. They tell you when it was built. You immediately forget. “Hey Asheville” is not that.
Instead, it’s part sightseeing tour, part comedy show, part moving fever dream.
Your team will learn things about Asheville, sure. But they’ll also encounter bizarre local history, colorful characters, unexpected performances, and enough surprises to keep everyone off their phones for an entire tour.
Why Corporate Groups Love It
- It’s entertaining without being “corporate entertaining”
- Visitors get introduced to Asheville without feeling like they’re in a history class
- Locals discover things they somehow never knew
- Everyone experiences the same ridiculous moments together
- Nobody has to climb anything
It’s the perfect activity for teams that want to connect without being forced into a circle to discuss communication styles.
Option 2: Fender Bender
Like a Brewery Tour, But All Asheville
If your team-building philosophy is less “trust exercise” and more “let’s enjoy ourselves,” Fender Bender may be your speed. This rolling good-time combines local beverages, live music, and Asheville charm into one delightfully easy outing.
No designated drivers. No coordinating multiple vehicles. No losing half your team because they wandered into a vintage record store and forgot what year it was.
Everyone stays together while enjoying local drinks, live music, and the kind of conversations that happen when people are genuinely having fun instead of networking under fluorescent lighting.
Why Teams Choose Fender Bender
- Live music creates instant good vibes
- Employees actually mingle instead of clustering with their usual work friends
- It feels like a celebration instead of an obligation
- Out-of-town guests get an authentic Asheville experience
- Your event planner gets to relax for once
It’s basically happy hour with a professional driver and significantly better stories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really team building?
Absolutely. Team building is just a fancy phrase for helping people connect. Turns out laughing together works surprisingly well.
What if some of our employees don’t drink?
Great news: neither of these tours require drinking. The main ingredient is fun. The beverages are optional.
What if our team is made up of very serious professionals?
Perfect. Watching serious professionals slowly realize they’re having a good time is one of our favorite things. We’ll give you a call before your tour to be sure our tour content matches your vibe – if there’s anything you’re concerned about, just let us know!
What if we were planning a ropes course?
Cancel it. Your employees will thank you. Quietly. Because they won’t be hanging from a rope.
