My daughter-in-law and I (there's no "Who did you go with?" category for just family) went on the city tour and we were both glad we did. I've lived in Charlotte for almost 15 years and still learned a lot of new things about the city. Jay dd a wonderful job of telling us the history of the city as... More

We booked a tour for a group of five and I found great coupons on the local merchant site. I was instructed that I would receive a txt msg with directions, which did not happen (even after multiple calls); finally received an email (again after multiple calls) with the exact same info that's on the web site - not sure...

We were stranded in Uptown during the tours scheduled "25 minute restroom break". About 15 minutes into the break we (me & 5 elderly women) were called and told the tour wouldn't be finishing the tour. We were told to find our own way back to our car (that was over 5 miles away) with NO offer from the company... More

We have been successfully conducting professionally guided tours of Charlotte, NC, since 1993, and have maintained an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau for the past several years. Unfortunately, unavoidable events do occur as with all businesses. We were able to complete 1/2 of this daily tour before being advised by a certified mechanic that continuing would result in...

Our guide was a retired vet who's personality is fun and nice and adds a southern flair. He did have to refer to notes and text sometimes, but we knew he wasn't just pulling this history out of thin air. The tour was part riding in a minivan and part walking, and the van was all decorated inside with Halloween... More

I attempted to book a tour with this so called tour company using a groupon special I had purchased. When I told their representative on the phone I was using a groupon he got upset telling me to read the instructions on the groupon and hung up on me. I called back to find out how I could be so...

This customer did not follow the "written" instructions that are clearly printed on his Groupon (50% OFF) which clearly states that Groupon (50% OFF) reservations are to be made via email. Unfortunately he will not be able to enjoy the best daily tour of Charlotte, NC. More

We booked an afternoon tour for the day we arrived in Charlotte and were picked up on time from our hotel. We had anticipated a coach trip but we delighted to find that we were the only ones booked for that trip so had a "minivan" and driver/guide to ourselves. His knowledge and the information he gave was extensive and... More

Don't miss your opportunity to get a grand tour of the city and historic neighborhoods of Charlotte in only two hours, provided by a very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and amicable guide. Next time in town, I will book another one of their other tour offerings. Thanks again for the unforgettable time. More

As a new resident of Charlotte, I enjoyed this tour. It introduced me to the history and beauty of this city in one short afternoon. Our guide took extra time with us and showed us the Duke Mansion. I would never have seen or appreciated many of these places without having taken the tour. Really helped myself and my daughter... More

Based in part to Jay's excellent introduction to Charlotte that led to my wife and I deciding to retire here, I scheduled his tour for four friends who annually visit different parts of the world. They toured the South this year and raved about how they had achieved a much better picture of Charlotte than any of the other places... More
