Enjoyable and informative tour of Charlotte - I have been to Charlotte a couple of times but wanted to learn about the history and local areas, so I signed up for Charlotte’s ultimate southern charm Historical city bus tour. Todd was our driver and did a great job as our tour guide. He is Very knowledgeable and made the tour a fun experience. I am glad that I decided to sign up for the tour. I even went to one of the places he mentioned on the route for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this tour to friends when they visit Charlotte.

Outstanding tour guide and tour! - I had a fantastic time during my 90 minutes on this tour with Kayla. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and navigated the tour route easily and safely. I am from the pacific northwest and was initially concerned about too much humidity and the hot temperatures since my tour began at 11:30 a.m. Most of this tour is from the comfort of an air conditioned veicle. I highly recommend this tour for anyone new to Charlotte. It's a great value and you'll get plenty of ideas of places to visit (many within walking distance) once the tour ends.

Fun Tour with great guide. - Caleb was a great tour guide. He knew his stuff. He took us all around uptown and explained everything. I especially liked riding in an air conditioned bus.

Awesome Bus Tour of the Queen City - It is so sad to see that other companies are trying to bring this company down. This was one of the best city tours I have ever been on. I took my family on this tour because they were visiting me from Indiana. Our driver took the time to explain everything to us and showed us all of uptown! Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Honestly, I have lived in Charlotte for 52 years and never knew a quarter of the history that we learned on this tour. This was an awesome learning experience for us all and I highly recommend this company to everyone!

Totally worth it! - It was very interesting and we found out a lot about Charlotte's history! We took a walk around Uptown earlier that morning and didn't even notice some of the landmarks...

Great overview - Great way to get an overview of the city and its history. We learned about the 4 wards in the city. It’s called Uptown not downtown 😊

So-so - Not much in info on various attractions. It seemed like most attention was given to government buildings. Not as interesting as most city bus tours.
