I learned so much about...

I learned so much about Charlotte on this tour. I loved the golf cart and the small group setting and it was supercool to travel thru the streets on the cart which obviously moves slower than other motor vehicles so you really get to see everything and take it all in.

A Bone-chilling Good Time

Stellar experience with spellbinding stories, laugh-out-loud jokes, and attention to safety and detail that made this tour an evening to remember. Elizabeth led us through Charlotte telling stories and showing us details that transported us back to when the area was just a wooded path and not a booming metropolis. It helped us better appreciate the history that has made Charlotte what it is today. 10/10, would recommend!!!

We had a wonderful time on this Segway tour! It was such a great activity to do as a family, especially with a teenager.

Our tour guide, Isaiah, was absolutely wonderful—very informative, respectful, kind, and made the experience even more enjoyable.
