Great walking tour. - We had a great time with our guide, we were a few minutes late so she called us to make sure we were good. She was very informative, we got to know some of the uptown Charlotte history and saw some very nice artwork from local artist. Book her! Oh and it’s cheap.

History and art in Uptown Charlotte - What a wonderful way to get to know Uptown Charlotte better! This tour is recommended for locals, new/relocating residents, and tourists. We had people from each category on my walking tour, which lasted about an hour. Dress for the weather, bring water, and wear walking shoes.
