We did the historical tour with Tremaine, who is a great ambassador for the city and was chock full of knowledge about its recent growth and changes. We spent a good 2 hours on the tour with about 1/2 hour beforehand learning to ride our Segways. There were 4 of us in our group, so it was easy for us all to interact. We went all over Uptown and enjoyed views of the skyline as well as the small parks in each of the 4 wards. Highly recommended.

Had a day to spend in Charlotte and we decided a segway tour would be a fun thing to do. Our guide John was great. Gave us a lot of history, some old some fairly new. We learned a lot about the city and had a great time rolling around on those segways. I will say Charlotte may be the cleanest large city I have ever seen.

Business trips to Charlotte met either an airport or suburban hotel with a bus or limo ride to a steakhouse for dinner. Retired now and wanted to see what Charlotte has done with their money. John led us a on a tour of downtown and this place is alive. City fathers have promoted and invested heavily with a payback of clean streets and a thriving downtown population. He shared the roots of the city as we toured hundred year old neighborhoods in the shadow of skyscrapers. Charlotte is a working prototype of successful urban planning and understand now why all the growth. See it for yourself and get John to lead the way.
