Also, he's one of the most pleasant and eloquent guys I've run into in a long time. The tour was very comprehensive and easy to follow.

5.00David was a warm and friendly tour guide with a wealth of information about Charlotte. He was very knowledgable about many aspects of the uptown area and integrated humor and human interest into the historical facts. His pace was respectful and accomodated the large and varied group and didn't rush the slower guests. His recommendations were on point. We would highly recommend this tour.

5.00Friendly host. Walking tour was under capacity so the host upgraded to van tour. Informative experience overall.

5.00My friend told me that a historical walking tour of Charlotte would be boring because "nothing has ever happened here" but they were wrong. Daniel Aaron Thomas brought the city's history to life with vibrant stories, interesting facts, and humorous asides.
A delightful walking tour with David

5.00As someone that runs a private members club in the tourism and hospitality industry. Lots to do if you didn’t know and very robust understanding. I went on the bus city tour instead of the walking tour. Great experience and good people. If you want to understand the city of Charlotte, North Carolina & some surrounding areas of the historical landmarks. Go on this tour. I used it as a refined guide and learning experience for what irresistible offers I can bring to the table.
Great experience
