What are people saying about Charlotte

John_B, Aug 2026

Awesome way to experience the history of Charlotte

This is a great tour if you want to learn the history of Charlotte. Traveling by golf cart is awesome with great views of what you are being shown. David was fantastic and provided a lot of good info and also provided restaurant and museum recommendations.

UPTOWN FUNK: 1 Hour Guided City Walking Tour in Charlotte

BETH_F, Aug 2026

This experience was...

This experience was amazing! Hannah, our tour guide, was so informed and entertaining. It was exactly as hyped, 1 mile and 1 hour and it covered all the wonderful landmarks of the beautiful city of Charlotte. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Charlotte.

Wild Things Rydables Tour of Charlotte

Michelle_G, Aug 2026

What a truly amazing...

What a truly amazing experience. You can pretty much guess from the pictures on the website how fun this experience will be, but I was pleasantly surprised on how rich and interesting Charlotte’s history is. My adult son was passing through Charlotte so I was looking for a low key activity that wouldn’t eat up a ton of time: the Wild Things Rydables Tour was perfect! I moved to Charlotte about 5 1/2 years ago and did a ton of research on Charlotte and its history prior to moving here so thought I was pretty knowledgeable. John, our tour guide did such an amazing job of detailing the history while keeping it entertaining and interesting. I learned so much that I didn’t know about the wards and uptown and can’t wait to share my newfound knowledge. The Rydables themselves are cute, easy to operate and so much fun to ride. They are comfortable and sturdy; just be ready for lots of positive attention they bring lots of smiles and comments. My other son will be here next month and I have at least two more sets of guests coming to visit me in Charlotte before the end of the year and I will be booking tours for all three visits. Thank you again John and I hope to see you again next month! I highly recommend this tour

Diana_F, Aug 2026

Reasonably priced & worth doing.

Not expensive. Definitely worth doing this tour. We rode in a small, clean, air conditioned tour bus. An hour & a half tour was perfect. Our driver/guide, Jonathan, was knowledgeable about Charlotte history. He was professional, kind, & fun. I totally recommend tours from this company.

Leanne_D, Aug 2026

Great activity to do in South End!

We had the BEST time on the Trolley Pub in Charlotte this past Saturday! We had a perfect day to ride around South End, enjoy some of the bars, and just have a great time together. Our driver, Delaney, was awesome — so much fun and really added to the whole experience! We loved every second of it and would absolutely do it again. Definitely a do-over experience and such a fun way to spend an afternoon in Charlotte. Highly recommend! 🍻🚲☀️

Informative and interesting tour of Charlotte

We have recently moved to the Charlotte area and brought our relatives to tour this beautiful city. Our guide, Caleb, was informative and friendly. Caleb knows the city well and gave us insight about the activities, architecture, and food. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about Charlotte's history and more.

Loved it

Artie was great. Super knowledgeable. It was more than just hearing ghost stories, we learned a lot about the history of the city and it was genuinely pretty interesting. Walk was easy, quite a few places to sit and listen along the way which was awesome if you’ve spent all day walking already like we had. If you’ve got the time, 100% you should do this.

Recommend!

Great time! I make it a point to do a ghost or true crime experience in every city I visit, and this one absolutely delivered.

Highly recommend!
