We took James’s Segway tour to get our bearings on the area since we’re relocating here, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! James was incredibly charismatic and shared a wealth of information about the city’s history, neighborhoods, and local gems. His enthusiasm made the tour both fun and memorable, and his passion for Charlotte truly shines through. Even our three teenagers loved it — which says a lot! It was the perfect mix of adventure, learning, and laughter. An excellent representation of the city, and a fantastic way for families to explore together. Highly recommend!

A good way to get an overview of Charlotte. The guide was charming and informative and the Segways were fun. We saw the 4 wards of Uptown Charlotte and learned a bit of the history.

The tour was phenomenal! Ask for James. He is knowledgeable, personable, and fun. He breaks down the tour into Wards, so Uptown is so much easier to understand. Thank you, James!!

James was really fun and patient with us on the Segways. We've never ridden them before and took his time with us. The tour and history we learned along the way was fun. He was knowledgeable and made the whole tour enjoyable. We would definitely do that again. Thanks James!

James was an excellent guide! We learned so much about Charlotte and saw many interesting businesses, glorious old homes and all 4 Ward gardens! We took many pictures, and James was so thoughtful to take group photos of us in front of several famous and beautiful landmarks. Worth every penny - felt safe the whole time, and would definitely recommend to both new visitors AND people who already live in Charlotte!
