Ereat tour of Charlotte. Gary the guide was excellent. Charlotte is a beautiful city and is still up and coming. Lots of new construction going on and new business headquarters relocating here. The Myers Park neighborhood was truly a beauty.

Wonderful overview of Charlotte and its history! I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We covered uptown wards and other historic neighborhoods and had a delightful rest stop at the 7th Street Market.

So much information about the history of Charlotte! Glad someone who knows their way around the city was driving. Comfortable vehicle too. Only down side - parking situation not too convenient - glad we allowed plenty of time to get situated. Still, overall experience was great - I recommend the tour to get a good feel for the city.

Awesome experience, Gary was very knowledgeable in the history of Charlotte. Great to have a quick stop in the market for a bathroom break. The van is a tight squeeze, would not recommend a large person try to get into the van.
