I had a little trouble finding the departure spot, partly my fault. Just an empty parking lot, but not by any identifiable buildings. The guide was good and very personable. It’s probably better if you are staying at a downtown hotel where you can be picked up.

Glad you were able to find it. Parking is normally minimal for Sundays. The Brooklyn building in the parking lot is the one we list on our site, hopefully that will help for any future visits. Glad you enjoyed your tour with us. It was a pleasure showing you the city on such a beautiful day!

My family of 5 did a 10:30am tour with Sheri. We all felt that it was a more intimate experience touring in a 6 person electric (quiet) golf cart than taking a tour that accommodated more people. Sheri was very informative and charming and was wiling to make unplanned stops if we asked. Charlotte is a beautiful city and we were fortunate to have had Sheri explain its history. We all highly recomment this tour.
