5.00Hannah was perfect. As it happened, only my wife and I were on the tour on a Sunday morning. We appreciated that Hannah did not cancel but gave us a private tour. In that one hour, we got an education on Charlotte. The tour started at Romare Bearden Park, and now we know who Bearden was. Along the walk we saw why downtown is called uptown, took in the murals on Luminous Lane, and ended the tour at the Fire Bird sculpture affectionately called Disco Chicken. We highly recommend the tour. The pace is just right and Hannah's knowledge is incredible. You wil understand Charlotte much better after the tour.
Loved every minute!!

5.00What a great tour! Took my nephew and his wife visiting from Chicago so they could learn about the Queen City and I learned so much too even tho I’ve lived in Charlotte for 30+ years! Our guide Hannah was delightful and made the hour fun and so interesting. We moved at a perfect pace - an easy walk with time for questions and photos. We all loved every minute and I love my Charlotte home even more now. Highly recommend!
Don’t Miss This Tour!

5.00Hanna was amazing! My husband and I had a wonderful time. Although we live less than 50 miles from Charlotte, we only go there on certain occasions. As native NewYorkers, we learned all about Charlotte history and how it went from being an agricultural area to today’s banking and art center. We even spotted a Hollywood actress! We had multiple photo opportunities! I recommend this tour for tourists and natives alike. The reasonable price makes it more than worth it!
Chillin’ with the tour guide….

5.00We had such a wonderful experience on our North Carolina tour, and a considerable part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Hannah. She is truly the sweetest, full of great energy, and such a kind soul. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and puts her heart into making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Hannah kept the group engaged, shared interesting information, and made us all feel welcome and cared for throughout the tour. If you’re thinking about booking, I highly recommend Hannah as your guide. She’ll make your trip unforgettable!
Fun & Informative

5.00This was a great overview of past and contemporary facts about the City of Charlotte. We covered a lot of ground and learned a bunch. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of the frescos inside the Bank of America building. Would recommend this!
Perfect Tour

5.00Hannah was kind, knowledgeable and personable. The tour was a great way to learn about Charlotte in just an hour. If you are staying in Uptown, it’s walking distance from most hotels.
Uptown Fun(k)!!!

5.00Took this tour during a recent trip to visit my son in Charlotte. Hanna, the tour guide was on time and prepared with very interesting facts and historical information about how the city of Charlotte came to be. My son has lived in Charlotte for five years, and he learned a great deal about "his city." I highly recommend the Uptown Funk tour!
