Informative and Fun!

It was very informative regarding the history of Charlotte. It was very kid friendly as we took my grandson. We learned things we never would have just visiting the city regarding statues and symbols around the city. Great guide! He even returned something to us we left on the bus after the tour!

Operator response

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your tour. As far as something left, we always make sure any items left behind are returned. Hopefully we will see you again some day. Thank you for taking the time to give us such a great review. That was very kind of you and much appreciated. Have a safe trip!

Fun and educating

My husband and I decided to take this tour and we were very enlightened and educated about Charlotte. We had so much fun and absolutely enjoyed learning the history of Charlotte, that we could never have done on our own without our tour guide Joshua’s knowledge in 90 minutes. We highly recommend taking a tour with this company, you will not regret it.
