Caleb and the rest of the crew made this such a fun experience! I have lived in Charlotte for 3 years and this was the first tour I’ve taken. DEFINITELY recommend. So fun!

Very interesting, nice tour. Brenda was great. Mostly true crime with a little ghost telling. Very comforting ride.

Not sure if this is year round, but due to the proximity to Halloween we had a few extra scares, haha! The tour was great. Darlene, our guide, truly brought the Southern Charm to our experience. It was a nice mix of folklore and fact, and a great way to check out the city a bit and see some cool landmarks. It was a bit chilly, so the blankets were an added bonus! These BILLS fans stopping by would highly recommend the trip.

The guides were very informative, they knew a lot about Charlotte history. Enjoyed Elmwood Cemetery and the hanging tree in Fourth Ward. The golf carts were fun while riding around uptown

We enjoyed our time on the bus tour as a family. The bus tour is the same as the cart tour, so you will get the chance to get off at all the stops (5+) as the carts. If someone has mobility issues, they can accomidate, just let them know. True crime with a little ghostly fun mixed in made for a good night prior to Halloween.

Super fun experience. The golf carts are comfortable and a great way to get around the city, especially with my wife recovering from ankle surgery. The stories were interesting and there was a lot of entertainment along the way! Our driver Payton was fun to have lead us around.
