    Good tour, tricky instructions

    Lisa_W, Apr 2025
    Don’t cross the street unless it tells you too. Some of the locations are discussed before it shows you the picture. Several pictures are out of date and some places don’t have signs to help you. It was a very interesting historical tour and I would do it again. It’s just a little tricky to follow some of the instructions.

    Interesting and informative

    Just leave it playing, and you can casually walk to each point of interest. We had a great time learning more about Charlotte.

    Fun, unique activity!

    We enjoyed the guide and learning about the history of the city that isn’t well known. Unfortunately because of all of the construction in the city we had a difficult time finding some of the locations, but it was overall enjoyable.

    Hi Julie, Thank you for using WalknTours! Construction can be unpredictable, but the addresses are where the spirits haunt :). Please do check out our other tours, now in nearly 100 cities! Thank you for using the WalknTours app :)

    Love the “scary” walk

    Linda_A, Oct 2024
    There were 4 of us. We walked on a beautiful sunny day. We enjoyed the narrator, his stories and the “scary” music. Very well done. I highly recommend this haunted walk.

    Our first walking tour. Informative

    I love old cemeteries. Fun/ sad fact that some corpses were dug up. Lunch at Alexander Michael’s. Directions were good and we enjoyed the spooky voice, and crow sounds.

    Fun in Old Settlers’ Cemetery

    Great tour! We had a lot of fun checking out the pubs along the way and learned a bunch of spooky stuff! Highly recommended and it's great that you can take the tour at your own pace.

    Great time

    It made for a really fun evening enjoying the town. We enjoyed learning the history of Charlotte and the events that led the city to where it is today

    Great tour . . . But . . .

    Dave_D, Jun 2023
    Enjoyed the tour. Felt very safe walking through the city. It's always nice to learn some of the backstories. Only drawback was the end of the tour. I was left standing on a corner with no idea of how to get back to my car.

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    Thank you for the great review and exploring with WalknTours! Very good note on returning to the beginning, at the end of the tour when the audio ends in the WalknTours app you'll see a rating screen and after that there is a button that says "Get Directions back to the starting point". Clicking that button will open google maps/apple maps and direct you back to the beginning :). I'll try to make that clearer! Thank you again!
