We had such a wonderful experience on our North Carolina tour, and a considerable part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Hannah. She is truly the sweetest, full of great energy, and such a kind soul. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and puts her heart into making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Hannah kept the group engaged, shared interesting information, and made us all feel welcome and cared for throughout the tour.
If you’re thinking about booking, I highly recommend Hannah as your guide. She’ll make your trip unforgettable!

This was a great overview of past and contemporary facts about the City of Charlotte. We covered a lot of ground and learned a bunch. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of the frescos inside the Bank of America building. Would recommend this!

Hannah was kind, knowledgeable and personable. The tour was a great way to learn about Charlotte in just an hour. If you are staying in Uptown, it’s walking distance from most hotels.

Took this tour during a recent trip to visit my son in Charlotte. Hanna, the tour guide was on time and prepared with very interesting facts and historical information about how the city of Charlotte came to be. My son has lived in Charlotte for five years, and he learned a great deal about "his city." I highly recommend the Uptown Funk tour!
