Quality Service & Joyful Experience - We thoroughly enjoyed this experience from start to finish. Carol provided us with valuable information before the tour, and detailed instructions to find the office. Rod, our segway tour guide, was knowledgeable about Charlotte, personable, and a joy to spend the morning with. I highly recommend this tour.

Don’t miss this fun adventure! - This Segway tour was so much fun! Rod, our tour guide, was very patient as he taught us to ride the segways. Once we felt comfortable, he led us to many points of interest and through some very beautiful parks. He knew all the fun facts about Uptown Charlotte and shared very interesting stories. Highly recommend this tour!

The history of Charlotte - It was a great lesson in the history in the making of the current city of Charlotte. The guide Isaiah was engaging, very knowledgeable and friendly! We felt like we were getting a private tour since it was just myself and my husband.
