Our tour guide provided excellent information on the history and architecture of Charlotte. In addition, he was very open to fielding our questions along the way. There were three in our party and we all had a wonderful time.

Great morning tour hosted by Jonathan for a smallish group. Interesting facts mainly about the uptown area but the overall Charlotte area. Would be great for visiting family, friends or if you just want to learn more about the city.

My friend and I had the best time on the golf cart tour! Scott was very informative and knew so much about the city. We loved getting to see all four wards, the stadiums, and the architecture throughout the city. Really a great experience!
