Obviously fun, but so informative! Able to cruise all over Charlotte in wacky ride ons, but if you’re lucky to get John as your tour guide you will not only see so much, but learn such interesting facts about Charlotte! I would recommend to anyone and if you want a tour of such a beautiful city, this is the way to go!

We had an absolutely outstanding experience! It was engaging, incredibly fun, and filled with fascinating insights into both Charlotte and American history. We were so inspired by the quality of the concept that we are now actively exploring franchise opportunities to bring this to our own local market.

Fun way to tour Charlotte

Donna_B, Nov 2026
Why walk or ride in a golf cart when you can tour Charlotte on a wild animal? John was an excellent tour guide, so we learned a lot about the city while having loads of fun. Highly recommend!

Extremely fun and amazing...

Joe_R, Nov 2026
Extremely fun and amazing way to tour the city! Our guide was friendly and personable as well as professional. The “animals” were surprisingly very comfortable and easy to maneuver around!

Totally loved!

Fun tour, John was a knowledgeable guide and full of little stories we never knew about Charlotte. Great time, would definitely recommend.

Horrible OWNERS

ZORAIDA_M, Oct 2026
The owner does not care about her customers my wife ran into a fence and fell off the ride within the first two minutes and she refuses to give us a refund. I would definitely not deal with an owner like this again who is more interested in the money than their customers. Please keep away from the people who run this ride. My wife’s leg is still black and blue from her fall and these people don’t care.

Wonderful Experience

Trudell_H, Oct 2026
This was a fun and very entertaining experience. Our tour guide, Isaiah, was very personable, professional, and he had a wealth of knowledge about the history of the 👸 city. Highly recommend!

We had fun and everyone that saw us got a chuckle.

Kevin_W, Sep 2026
It is tremendous fun and it also entertains as you ride around the city. We gave a lot of people a happy moment. We had John as our guide and he was both incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic and informative, blending his knowledge with our interest. Excellent 90 minutes.

What a truly amazing...

Michelle_G, Aug 2026
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

Do this. Seriously do this now!!!

Fun Unique Tour You Can’t Pass Up

Desirea_A, Jul 2026
Absolutely loved this tour. Though I am a local I took my Texas parents on this tour and they had so much fun. John (I am horrible with names, sorry if I got that wrong) was super informative and we LOVED hearing everything he brought to our attention. I will definitely be bringing more guests as they come to visit us.

Fun tour and rides!

Tammy_K, Jun 2026

Awesome Time

Angel_R, Apr 2026
We had such an incredible time on the Wild Things Rydables tour! It is easily one of the most unique ways to see Uptown Charlotte. My wife and I couldn't stop laughing as we cruised around on these giant stuffed animal scooters. The 4th Ward is beautiful, and our guide was fantastic and super knowledgeable about the city's history. If you're looking for something that keeps you entertained, this is it. 10/10 would recommend!

A Hilarious Time

Angie_B, Mar 2026
Absolute great time. The rideable was easy to operate and the built in speaker WAS PERFECT! We could hear our tour guide and didn’t miss a fact. Isiah (our guide) was knowledgeable, had the perfect tone and we were lucky to have him.

The most fun day EVER!

Stephanie_T, Mar 2026
This was our favorite activity in Charlotte! We had a blast! Isaiah was the sweetest and most knowledgeable tour guide ever!

Fun and informative!

Pamela_R, Mar 2026
It was a fun way to learn the history of Charlotte. John knew his stuff, and he was very friendly and upbeat! Carol was friendly and gave us handwarmers. We were so glad the trip wasn’t cancelled because it isn’t tourist season and it was cold! Only two of us and they still made us feel wanted and special! Thanks! It was great!

Had a great time riding around the 4 wards of Charlotte

Nina_S, Dec 2025
You’ll have a whole lot of fun while learning about Charlotte. The sitting scooters are easy to operate after you get used to them.
