About Our Charlotte NC Tours
We have been edutaining guests from each State in the U.S. and over 40 foreign countries since 1995 which simply translates to us being around to personally experience and document the city’s growth over more than the past two decades.
As such our historical tour stories unfold from first-hand experience and are conducted RAIN or shine (except walking and scooter tours) in CLIMATE-CONTROLLED vans that take you intriguing places Golf Carts and Segways do not. We tell a few jokes along the way on our Charlotte NC Tours but most of our information is dedicated to history in a family-friendly alcohol-free learning environment.
We Cover 50-100 Sites to include the Historic District in Uptown/Downtown/Center City, and two Old South neighborhoods that feature Bungalow, English Tudor, and Colonial homes as well as picturesque tree-lined streets in approximately 20 Miles on our Driving Tours!
