Excellent exploration of Charlotte. - My wife and I had a great time. Danny was an excellent guide with a really deep knowledge of the city. We definitely got more out of his narrative than if we had only opted to walk around on our own. We were able to take what we learned and go back to numerous locations with new found understanding.

The Alternative Bus Tour—when the original one doesn’t work out - We did a day trip to Charlotte, NC by train and signed up for the historical city bus tour. But our tour time didn’t work out. So the tour operator set up an alternative time and we took the golf cart! It was brilliant! A bit chilly, very informative and lovely views af the uptown architecture and gardens. The graffiti paintings were impressive. Keith, our guide was superb! Highly recommended.
