Make This Your First Stop!
Apr 2023 • Solo
I was in Charlotte for a conference and didn't want to leave without seeing more of the city. This tour was the perfect choice! In fact, I recommend this be the first activity you choose upon visiting the city because I wanted to go back to all of our guide's suggested restaurants, activities, and sites to see!

Great look at the Queen City
Apr 2023
Our tour of Charlotte was on April 20, 2023 and our guide and teacher on wheels was Tremain. He was great! What made our tour so great was his way of bringing what we were seeing to our ears. He was so knowledgeable of the Queen City. Our friends from out of town were talking about this experience the rest of the day and we were a team of six desiring to see the City as it is transitioning in being one of the best in the south. The changes and the history of Charlotte were greatly explained and seen. One other thing was that I had forgotten my case and before I could make the call, Tremain was driving up with my case in hand. So with everything else, he provides great customer service. Again, we thank you for our experience.

Tour of Charlotte
Mar 2023 • Family
Our tour guide Tremaine was the best part of the tour. He was excited about his hometown and very knowledgeable about its past, present, and plans for its future. It was impressive how Tremaine was able to inform us about Charlotte's historical connection to our hometown city of Philadelphia and our state, PA. The carts provided a comfortable ride. I recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in learning about the city of Charlotte. We're sad that we forgot to take a group picture because at the end of our tour it began to rPA.

Fabulous Experience
Apr 2023
I would recommend this tour for everyone. Our guide was very knowledgeable with everything from the history of the city to the local restaurants. I only wish we would have booked this tour in the first few days after we arrived because we learned of a few more places we would have liked to explored. Their were eight of us for the tour ranging in age from six years old to 55, all of us loved it!

Rocking It With Tremain
Apr 2023
On April 18, 2023 my friends from California, my husband, and I went on this tour with Tremain as our guide, and we haven't stopped raving and recommending this exciting adventure. Tremain is knowledgeable, funny, and warm hearted, making us feel as if we were part of his family. As a former fourth grade teacher in Charlotte, I was extremely impressed with his breath of knowledge, discussing the statues and artwork dotting uptown, the the history of Charlotte, and his love of all four wards. We could not have had a more positive experience!

Wow!! What a great tour!!
Nov 2022 • Family
What an awesome city tour!! We took a short day trip up to Charlotte and had no idea how to tackle the city since it was our first time and we were on a time crunch. In rolls Sheri with a comfortable 6 seater cart, which she thoughtfully outfitted with blankets perfect for a chilly autumn day (two of which were heated!). The tour was concise, well laid out, and very informational. She knows so much about the city and delivers the tour with enthusiasm. She even gave us tips on how best to do the remaining hours we had in the city, and various food recommendations which we tried and were on point. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to gain their bearings in a new city and learn a ton of cool facts along the way. Thank you, Sheri!!

Bonus: we got souvenirs and a tasty snack along the way!!

See the Queen City!
We decided to take the tour of Charlotte since to learn more about the history of Charlotte and just get a feel for the city. Jade was our driver/guide and she was absolutely amazing! She provided us with the history we were looking for and gave us lots of information about the areas of the city and some ideas of restaurants to try. She also was very funny and made the tour fun. It was a little strange to be on a golf cart in 5 o’clock traffic but all was good. If you’re visiting Charlotte I highly recommend this tour.

Best Overview of Downtown Charlotte
Apr 2023
We had a great time seeing downtown Charlotte from our guided street-legal golf cart. Our tour guide was great and brought to life the different areas of the city and incorporated an amazing amount of knowledge regarding history, business, finance, government and local life. Born and raised locally, he peppered his commentary with memories of what it was like growing up in Charlotte. It was a great way to get oriented to Charlotte!

Sheri took us all around the downtown area, pointing out restaurants and landmarks and giving us the history of the city.
It was a great way to start our vacation in Charlotte. We were able to get a sense of what there was to do in the area. Sheri made us feel like we were old friends. I would recommend this to anyone visiting for the first time

Great Introduction to Charlotte
Apr 2023 • Friends
Our group thoroughly enjoyed Charlotte’s Ultimate Southern Charm Historical City Cart Tour. Looking to fill a morning with something other than race cars, we stumbled across Charlotte’s company and are so glad we did. She regaled us with interesting historical factoids, and also managed to highlight the current vibe of an ambitious city. We walked away with a greater appreciation of Charlotte, and a handful of restaurant recommendations. We would highly recommend the tour.
