Toured the city and laughed the whole time! Our guide John delighted us with information on the city while we cruised down the streets with the wind in our hair (which was a blessing considering how warm and humid it was outside that day). Everyone we passed smiled at the silly sight and we were able to get oriented to the city which helped us navigate as we ventured out on foot the rest of the days of our trip. Highly recommend. Looking forward to exploring similar tours in other cities. read more

It's fun just to ride around on the Rydables like little kids. But more importantly with a good guide like John Crunk, I learned a lot about the history of Charlotte, even though I have lived here for 35 years. It's often the case that people don't know their own city, and the tour is a painless to learn about your hometown. read more

We did the Holiday Lights tour and we had a blast. Our tour guide was Isaiah and he was awesome. He was very knowledgable about the history of Charlotte. He answered all of our questions, gave us time for a ton of photo ops, even taking them for us. If you are in Charlotte and have an opportunity to do a Rydables tour, definitely do it. We had so much fun!! read more

Our Segway tour was awesome! I knew riding the Segway would be at least half of the fun, but I didn't expect to learn so much and enjoy the learning. Our tour guide Isaiah did such a great job - he was super knowledgeable, was able to answer all our questions, and he adjusted when we looked like we were ready to get back on the road. All around good dude, and a great time! read more

We did the 1.5 Hour Historic Uptown Neighborhood Tour. It was both informative and fun. Son was very nervous on the Segway but the guide was patient and took time to make sure he felt comfortable and able to catch up. Definitely recommend! I personally think it is much more interesting than riding tour bus. I do suggest having more signs outside the building for directions to meetup. read more

Had a blast on my tour. What a great city and my tour guide was fantastic. Me and my family will definitely come back

My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary in Charlotte and as a present I made reservations for a segway tour while in the city. It was months in advance and very easy to do online. It was for a Friday morning at 9am. We got to the meeting spot exactly on time and I was pleasantly surprised when it was just the 3 of us. Our guide, Rod, was awesome! We watched a short video. He took us outside on a corner to practice. At first, hubby and I both were a bit nervous but it took just a couple minutes and we became pros! Rod took us all over and gave us an amazing tour of downtown Charlotte. I had no clue Charlotte was so historical. He even took us to prime photo ops and took our pictures! He told us he was a local. You can tell because of his knowledge of Charlotte and it's history. We even got to see Michael Jordan's old apartment! Awesome trip! This is definitely a MUST!! read more

Holiday Lights Segway Tour is a must in Charlotte. We did this 90 minute tour from 6:30p-8:00p arriving at 6:00p for the safety video, paperwork and operational instructions. Rod and Isaiah were our Tour Guides. We visited Fourth Ward historical holiday decorated homes, Truist Park with holiday market and ice rink, and BOA Stadium with massive real Christmas tree. Rod provided lots of interesting and informative historical Charlotte history, people and places. This a something you should not miss during the holiday season. read more

The most amazing way to tour Charlotte! James was an exceptional guide who I recommend highly! He provided so much history and information about uptown Charlotte. When I visit again, I will be back! read more

We had a great Segway tour yesterday. I took my son and daughter ages 23 & 25 and they loved it. I'm 60 years old. We all learned the Segway within 45 minutes including their safety video. I'm a skier so those skills helped to balance the Segway and make the turns. Very easy to learn. It was a good way to see parts of her city we haven't seen before and get a good overview of some of the sights. I loved seeing the 4th ward and the neighborhoods. Our tour guide Wells was a wonderful warm person. She took so great photos for us. My kids loved the tour- especially my son who had always wanted to ride a Segway. read more

Great Guide and Experience! Really enjoyed learning the history of Charolette having fun.

Charlotte tours offers an amazing service and perfect location. You get the best of everything in this tour: adventure, tourism, and history. Our tour guide James was extremely friendly and was very enthusiastic. He made our experience 100 times better. We toured almost all of the Carolina's and this was definitely the best part of our whole trip! We parked in the Bank of America garage which was the most expensive but they did offer E.V. charging which was handy! We paid $25 for parking and paid for charging as well. It says it's free for 3 hours but it did charge is 10 cents per kilowatt (about $1.48 for a few hours). I recomend this experience for anyone going to Charlotte! We will definitely be doing this tour again when we come back! read more

We drove into Charlotte at 2pm looking for a last minute tour opportunity. Whatta find! Carol called back with our guide secured and by 3 we were on our Segways headed out with Paul for a delightful tour pretty much tailored to our interests- history, gardens, architecture and restaurant recommendations for dinner! He was so informative and knew all the spots for great photos as we cruised through each ward and amazing parks n neighborhoods. We loved his dinner recommendation too! Thank you both!! read more

Booked a 90 min tour to show the city off to my out of town guests. Didn't quite know what to expect, especially 1) I myself have never been on a Segway before and 2) living in Charlotte for 20 years makes me think I'm an expert in showing folks around. I was totally blown away at how easy it was to pick up using a Segway (you get a nice 30min training session before the tour starts so plan accordingly). Also allow time for waiver signing and all that jazz. They were very good about calling me the day before to let me know especially since Taste of Charlotte was opening that day so there would be some street closures. Aside from being stressed out-we were coming in from Matthews so the commute on Independence sucks so bad...luckily we left early enough and were only 8 or 9 minutes late. But still late... I hate being late. Anyways, there was one other gentleman in our tour group so I felt bad for the late start. We quickly went through the orientation and got to training. I'm so sorry but I never got the name of our tour guide... He was very good and knowledgable. We had an assistant, Prince, who brought up the end of our tour group and gave us a lot of encouragement for first time Segway users. I'll leave a little mystery to the tour so that everyone takes it (no spoilers). But we traveled throughout uptown... First, second, third, and fourth wards. Believe me, I definitely learned a lot of history and saw some things I had not seen in my Charlotte residency since '96. The shop is located in Overstreet Mall and not a lot of people get there (save for Uptown workers) so give your self some extra time to access the Overstreet Mall from wherever you park. It's right at the end of the skybridge that connects Founders Hall and the Omni Hotel buildings, next to the shoe repair and key shop. We only spent a few minutes in the shop for orientation (video), but it looks like they sell merchandise there... hoverboards... and maybe some affiliation with the b-cycle program (maybe you can sign up for subscriptions here for bike sharing station around town). After orientation, we went downstairs through the Omni parking garage to the segways where we had a small orientation on the side walk until we were all comfortable with operating the segways. Overall a great tour! I would definitely do it again (I'm a big history nerd) but it's an easy way to see the city without too much walking, plus its fun! I was just relieved I didn't fall on my butt or break any teeth. read more

Was delighted to be the only rider on my 2 Hour tour with Isaiah! He shared a lot of history of Charlotte and landmarks, and I shared some history with him as well. He is a great young man and I enjoyed his company during the tour immensely. Everywhere I go, I always look for a segway tour as it is the easiest way to see and learn a lot, with mobility, and in a short period of time. I highly recommend Charlotte NC Tours. The pre-tour instructions as to where to park and locating them were absolutely perfect! Thank you for validating the parking also! read more

Fantastic people. Very polite and helpful. Our experience was incredible. Isaiah was our tour guide and he was informative and fun. We loved the ride and experience. Would recommend it highly. read more

It's become our thing for every new city we visit to try to do a Segway tour and the husband found this one via Groupon. Finding the place to meet up could have been tricky, but the place provides excellent directions and alerts to keep you on time. After a intro video, we went across the street to a garage where the Segways week stored. I'd like to see say we're pretty seasoned as using Segways, especially after our tour in San Francisco. Our tour guide, Rod, took half the group of the more experienced riders and made us do a little test of hopping on/off as well as maneuvering the Segways before we were off. Rod was an awesome tour guide. He seemed to know those random facts that you can't find easily online from showing us the building that Cam Newton & Michael Jordan live to a hidden painting in a bank building. I also loved that he made a point to help us take pictures of us on the Segways. Other tours we've been on make us fend for ourselves or we have to ask (but we don't want to come off so needy) We definitely learned a lot and recommend this as a fun way to explore the city! read more

Lane was a great tour guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and quick to answer any questions. Highly recommend Lane!

Our group of five really enjoyed our Segway tour of Charlotte. We all live here and still learned some fun facts while visiting every ward in the city. Our tour guide James was great and he took time to review and teach us the basics. I had never been on a Segway and was a little wary, but he put me completely at ease. I'd highly recommend! read more

So many thanks to our guide, Lucas! My wife and I are from the area and had friends visit from NY. Rather than trying to figure out what to show them we did the taste of charlotte or what we called "eat, glide, and grin." So much fun. Even as residents, we learned so much and found places we've never seen. Lucas was awesome! Doesn't just know the tour speech, but really knows the history. And the food was perfect... Great selections! Where did we go?? You'll just have to find out yourselves. Highly recommended. Ask for Lucas. read more

Very nice bike tour we took on a Saturday morning/afternoon. They mentioned that they had new bikes. They had 7 speeds so that is a plus. The trip was very flat except for one small hill. Our guide was somewhat knowledgeable but keep things moving. You will visit 3 of the 4 areas of this pretty town. So go and enjoy this nice tour for under 35 bucks. read more

Third or Fourth tour with this group, #2 on a Segway, still the best!! Paul is a great tour guide, he really knows Charlotte.

The Van picked us up at our hotel and we had a very thorough tour of the whole city. The director was so knowledgeable about all the new buildings, the four sections of the city, and the outside areas as well. It was quite exciting to see all the growth happening here. We got to see where the Mint Museum was and walked over there later to enjoy the amazing art. Definitely book this tour. read more

Rod was an exceptional tour guide. He took us places that my local Charlotte friends didn't even know about. I learned so much about the history and I'm so glad I decided to do the segway tour. It was my first time on a segway and Carol and Rod were very patient and accommodating. Book this tour! read more

Great tour of Charlotte. Rod was an awesome and very knowledgeable guide. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Even after living in Charlotte for 4 years I learned plenty of new things A) about Charlotte and B) in Charlotte (Uptown specifically). Our city has a greatly rich history and the guys that run Charlotte Tours do a fantastic job in making it fun and interesting. My folks were in town for the weekend and my dad mentioned taking a Segway tour when he was in Chicago with my brother. As we were driving through Uptown on a Sunday, we decided to try and book one for the afternoon in Uptown. Gave these guys a ring and they had space for 4. Perfect! Booked it, showed up on time, and away we went. The whole experience is great. They teach you how to ride a Segway so you can't fail. Then, the tour can take you all sorts of places. The French Quarter, around what is soon-to-be Romare Bearden Park, Fourth Ward Neighborhood and Park, 7th St, and tons of other places. We enjoyed it so much. Namely, Jordan and Luke are the best guides they have. They are young guys with great senses of humor. Ask for them specifically if you ever go. At a rate of $55 for an hour and a half tour on a segway, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. There's also a 2-hour version for $65, I believe. They also host a ton of other tours -- Bike, bus, walking, Ghost tours, etc. It might be touristy, but I can't wait to take another tour with friends or more family! read more

I had a great training and 1& 1/2 hour tour with Rob. I'm new to Charlotte but even my local +1 was impressed with the historical info that Rob shared. The segways were fun to ride, our routes were safe and the scenery was pretty cool. I'd tour with Rob again. read more

Soooo much fun!! A friend and I were visiting Charlotte for leisure and thought that the Charlotte NC Tours segway tour would be a fun way to explore downtown. Man, my friend and I had so much fun! Rod was an excellent tour guide. He was really knowledgeable about the city's history and he had such a fun personality! Lil' Rod (not to be confused with Rod), instructed us how to operate the segways. He was also well informed and made us feel confident on the segways within minutes. We opted for the The Victorian Era - Center City - Historic 4th Ward tour and enjoyed every minute of it. My friend and I were lucky because the other people that were supposed to come on the tour didn't show up, so it was just my friend, Rod the guide and myself. Very personalized! All of the staff that we met were very friendly and left us with a wonderful impression of the city. Loved it! read more

We took the Uptown Tour on Segway. The tour sites were interesting and the tour guide knew his stuff. Our tour felt rushed with our tour guide wanting us to go faster as we were running behind. I don't fault the tour company exactly as all groups were to show up a half an hour before the tour but some showed up late and we lost roughly 20 minutes before we started the Segway tutorial. Still, this affected the quality of the tour. read more

This was my first time visiting Charlotte, and I was really looking forward to this segway tour. I had originally scheduled it for Saturday afternoon, and had to reschedule it to Sunday afternoon due to a conflict in my schedule. The site says that any rescheduling done under 24 hours cannot be honored, but they honored it anyway, so big thumbs up for excellent customer service! When buying my ticket online, I pre-paid for a parking voucher in the parking garage for $12 which is convenient, but I wouldn't do that again next time. There was a parking garage 3 blocks down, and across the street from the Mint Museum for only $5, so save your money! When I arrived at the office, we signed our waivers, watched the instructional video, and strapped our helmets on. We then spent about 45 minutes in the parking garage getting individual lessons and doing practice runs on our segways. Learning was soooo quick and easy, anyone can do it! Once everyone was comfortable with their skill levels, we were off for our tour! It was cold outside, and my hands were freeeeezing, so I do advise to bring gloves and make sure you dress warm depending on what time of year you go. James Rice was such a fantastic, knowledgeable, and high energy tour guide that I feel so lucky for being assigned to his tour! I did the 1.5 hour historical tour of uptown, and it was the perfect amount of time. I wouldn't do any shorter or any longer than that. I learned so much about Charlotte that I'm even considering moving down there later on down the road. This city is awesome and full of rich history, green efforts and appreciation of the arts, and initiatives to optimize the working, living, and social lives of each resident in its community. I can't wait to come back and try the other segway tours! I went home wishing I had a segway of my own haha. Awesome experience! P.S. - I repeat, Book with JAMES RICE - AWESOME Tour Guide! read more

This was a birthday present. We are older and my wife, our friend, and her son went on a Segway tour today. It was SO fun and informative. We were a little nervous but our guide Rod and his helper James did a great job teaching us how to ride the Segways in minutes. We are educators and he did everything right. Rod and James gave great Verbal instructions, modeling, guided practice, positive reinforcement and finally independent practice before we began the tour. As if teaching us how to ride the Segway's, Rod was a fantastic tour guide. We live here and know quite a bit about Charlotte. Rod didn't embellish or make stuff up (as too many guides do to create interest when they are not knowledgeable about an area). Rod knew his stuff and passed along his insight as only a seasoned professional can. read more

After taking the biking tour in the morning, which was wonderful, We decided to book the haunted walking tour for the evening. BIG MISTAKE! On our way to the meeting place, I received a phone call from the guide asking where we were supposed to meet, when I relayed the information to him, he stated he was "on his way". Upon arrival, he proceeded to read from his phone, blatantly make up facts, bypass several things that were pointed out to me on the biking tour which would have been great for the haunted walking tour such as the hanging tree, and played seriously ridiculous ghost sounds and music on his phone while walking through the neighborhoods. The hour and a half tour ended up being barely 60 minutes - much to our relief. Do not waste your time or money on the Haunted Walking tour. If you are able definitely take the bike ride tour and if you are lucky Ashby will be your guide! read more
