Kayla was great

Published on Jan, 2025

Our tour guide Kayla was pleasant and born and raised in Charlotte. She was very knowledgeable about the Queen City. She had a lot to share

Recommended!

Todd was great!! He kept up with the group's humor and was very informative of Charlotte's history. Was a cold day so the shuttle bus was very nice to keep warm. Would recommend.

Charlotte city tour

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an amazing tour of Uptown Charlotte. We were able to get a really good overview of the area and learnt a lot of fun facts. Highly recommend !

The History of Charlotte by Bus

Published on Dec, 2024

The guide provided some very interesting Charlotte history. We enjoyed learning about the four districts and the people who contributed to the Charlotte community, including Michael Jordan.

Awesome

Published on Nov, 2024

The First thing that stood out was that you could speak with someone (Phil) on the phone to ask questions and get answers. Once we made our reservations, we were given specific instructions as to get to the pick up area and times. Our driver, Sherrie, Sheeeerrriiieeee Baby!!!, was Very Knowledgeable and Informative regarding Charlotte. Her colleagues were also very knowledgeable and informative when there were several conversations going on. The bus was comfortable, Mechanically Sound, and we were all comfortable . I would “HIGHLY” recommend Southern Charm Rides for your Charlotte, NC Tours. Thank You Southern Charm Rides for a Fantastic Experience and Tour Buddy/Rose Mock
