Q:
Would this tour be appropriate for children? Do you have any two-man kayaks in which one adult and one child could go together?

Yes this tour is appropriate for children. They require two-man kayaks for kids under a certain age, I believe it is 12.

Q:
I am planning my very first kayak experience this weekend, and I'm looking at either the Biltmore tour or the arts district. I'm a little nervous since I've never done this before and I'm wondering if the water is smooth like a lake or will I feel like I'm moving quickly (scary!). I'm scared of hitting rocks or feeling out of control. I'm doing it as a "new experience" thing I like to do on my birthdays!

Please see my review on TripAdvisor—- The 2.5 hour Biltmore Tour is perfect for first time kayakers! The river is so calm you could actually put your oar down and just float. The scenery is beautiful and the river is very wide. I haven’t done the River Arts District Tour, but have kayaked the Biltmore Tour so many times in the last few years...just recently—Memorial Day! There were a couple of flat rocks in the middle of the river to paddle around (geese were hanging out on one of them), but you will have no trouble. I promise there’s no reason to be scared or nervous! The kayaks are easy to maneuver—they're sit-on-top. Plus you’ll have a life jacket which French Broad Outfitters gives everyone. You have nothing to worry about! Go have fun and enjoy your birthday!

Q:
which is more scenic; historic Biltmore tour or arts district?
A:
If you can't do both, I think the Biltmore tour is more scenic. Although I did enjoy the urban look of the arts district segment.
