This is one of those tours you want to schedule when you first get to Laurel. It gives you a jist of the town. I booked a tour for 2 on their website. You do not pay online, you pay in person once you arrive for the tour. You meet on a corner in the downtown area of Laurel. The golf cart we rode sat 7 people plus the tour guide. We loaded up on the golf cart and off we went. We stopped at many spots including Scotsman General Store to see the items for sale and into the shop where lots of the Home Town show is filmed. The tour guide assisted with taking photos of my mom and I infront of the iconic blue Scotsman pickup truck. We drove over to the Laurel Mercantile for a quick visit. We got our photo taken infront of the outside wall of the store where another blue pickup truck is located. We drove around the streets lined with older homes that were revamped in the Home Town show. This was my favorite part hearing about the homes and work that went into them. We even got to see a few homes under construction that Erin and Ben are working on for upcoming shows. The tour lasted about an hour and we were dropped off back at the same city corner. This gives you a good incite of the town and a starting point for your further adventures while visiting. read more

D.J. Did a great job taking my wife and I on the Home town tour of Laurel. (safe driver also) He knows his 'stuff' It's amazing how much interesting and detatailed information he has on his home town. He's funny too! I lost my cap early on the tour. It blew off. It was my fault, but DJ, after our tour, went back to help me find it! He was happy to do so, also. He had a hat similar to mine, and offered to give it to me! He's really is a great guy. His mother created this tour. A very savy and smart mom! Take this tour it takes you places you would never of thought of! read more

Such a fun tour. DJ knows everyone and they know him. Very knowledgeable about the town and all the renovated houses.

You're thinking to yourself, "Is this really worth $25 when I could just walk around town on my own?" And the answer is, "Definitely yes." Denise was our driver (for all I know she's the ONLY driver) and was upbeat, informed and energetic. We took the first tour of the day at 9, and that really helped us get the lay of the land. Plus, Denise is a native of Laurel so we gots lots of history, opinion and Southern humor with our Home Town trivia so it's almost like a mobile performance. The golf cart seats 8 and it's really comfortable. I brought my coffee along and put the cup holder to work. Denise used a mic so I could hear everything. We stopped at three locations where we could get out, take pictures and take a "hot second" to look around (Denise is prompt like that which I'm sure the next hour's tourists appreciate). She eagerly took our pictures so everyone (who wants to) gets in the photos. You'll recognize many of the homes that have been renovated on the show, and sometimes the homeowners will wave back at you! read more

We had a delightful 45 minute golf cart tour in Laurel Miss. with the Bolton Tour Co. Our tour guide, Denise did a great job of showing us many places to shop and eat, and she gave us a chance to take pictures at each location.

DJ also gave us a ride to our B&B after our tour during his own time. Very thoughtful and nice. It was worth every penny! Will take it again when I return to Laurel. read more
