Enjoyable - Loved learning about the history. Enjoyed being able to get off the bus and explore a little. My husband is a hard sell and he enjoyed it. I would have liked to have heard more of how the African American played a part in Charlotte’s growth.

Charlotte’s ultimate southern charm tour - Todd was an amazing tour guide! Loved him! We took the bus rather than the quaint golf cart tour we were hoping for but as luck would have it, it was 105 degrees outside that day. So thankful for the air conditioning in the bus!!

Great tour, must do in Charlotte, NC! - We did the Ultimate Southern City Charm Golf Cart tour and it helped us fall in love with Charlotte. Kayla, our tour guide is AMAZING. She is patient and kind plus so knowledgeable about her home town. She really shows her love for the city and makes you fall in love with it. Pick up was easy and you get a full grasp of this beautiful city. I recommend this tour if you want to get a real feel for the beauty of Charlotte.

Nice Tour of the City of Charlotte, NC - My city tour standard is a tour we took of Seattle, WA where we stopped at a local coffee shop for coffee and a restroom break and we stopped and visited a historical dam along with a host of other sites where we just stopped quickly for photos. This tour was nice and the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw sites all over the city and stopped for photos and to learn more about the different locations. We also got free cornbread from one of the historical restaurants we stopped to take photos of. What would really make this a top notch tour would be a stop at one of the best local coffee shops in the city, skipping most of the historical homes and maybe try adding a jaunt out to the Whitewater Center for a longer photo opportunity there. (I know that would definitely add more time to the tour, but that would make it top notch.)
