Jonathan provided an amusing but very interesting tour of the Queen City for our group! We toured all four wards and stopped a few times for more in depth descriptions. We highly recommend Queen City Rides for a great experience whether you're a Charlotte native or visiting tourist. read more

Lame-o! Booked in advance as guests were visiting from California. Cancelled DAY OF via text.... If this is your ONE job - to give tours - how do you NOT know what events are scheduled on the streets which will be impacted. Extremely Poor planning ;( read more

Had such a wonderful experience going on these Golf Cart tours this weekend. I had some family in town for the Bills game and I wanted to show them around the city. This was the best way to do it. Period. There were four of us, and our guide Danny. We explored all around uptown and the guide did an AMAZING job bringing the city to life through its history, current times and fun facts. Would highly recommend for anyone coming to Charlotte for a first time visit, just moving here or a native to learn something new! read more

Had a wonderful tour today with my family! Our guide Jonathan was great. Highly recommend! read more

Queen City Rides - Historical Tours Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Knowledgeable, friendly guide with a voice able to carry over any city sounds. We learned so much that we can finally appreciate this part of North Cackalacky. read more

Had an awesome experience with Brian! My husband and I were the only ones on the evening tour and it was very intimate and personalized. Brian took us around the city and pointed out great places to eat and gave us historical facts of the area. This tour was my favorite thing we did on our trip to Charlotte! Brian was knowledgeable and seemed like a king of the city. He knew many people in the area and greeted them by name. We paid around $40+ person for 90+ minutes. I thought the price was fair. You pay for the experience and the guide. I would recommend the tour to anyone visiting or even regulars that live there just to see the city in another light. If we ever go back to Charlotte, I would make it a point to go again. Tips: I would bring a sealable beverage and light snack if you'd like. Nothing messy. You meet across the street from Fitzgeralds (and Queen Charlotte statue). read more

Our guide, David, was amazing for our uptown golf cart tour! So much knowledge about the city and was fun to be around. It was truly an awesome experience, would definitely recommend. read more

Excellent! Fun, prompt, professional. Danny Jordan was awesome! Gave great overview of Downtown Charlotte and stories about the city. We ended having lunch all together in a local place. Highly recommend their tours. read more

Great experience touring the city. Guide was new to the job but did well. A few facts were a little off so that's the only reason it's not 5 stars. read more

Had a great tour of up-town ( not downtown) Charlotte . Learned a lot about the city and it's history. Adrienne was knowledgeable, personable and an overall delight. A great way to get to know the City. read more

Tour was very informational and long enough To really be worth the fee. Brian made It! Super knowledgeable and fun to talk to! read more

We paid $38 for 1hr ride with "Telma & Louise" in golf cart just driving around uptown. I guess the highlight of this "tour" was to learn about the Martini glass building. They were sweet but I would rather pay for a real tour and go all around, maybe hear some historical facts instead of just roaming around one area. read more

I'm a huge fan of a city tour as a starting point for any visit. This was no exception! We were extremely lucky to have Dan Jordan as our guide. He chatted and waved to everyone..made lots of people smile. He is a true ambassador of Southern hospitality. He was a real pro about history, culture, architecture and everything Charlotte. His love for the city is quite apparent. It was nice having water, I was worried about heat being in a cart, but the city has lots of shade and I was comfortable. Much better than a minivan, honestly. So glad we were able to start our weekend with this fabulous tour! Thank you, Danny! read more

Great tour! Danny J was our tour guide and he introduced us to an amazing city and history. I am so glad we took this tour. We saw so much more than if we were just wandering around on our own. Great job! read more

Our instructor was great! Allie was nice and she helped us learn a lot about charlotte history, This was a great ride. Definitely Recommended! read more

We just did this tour with Sherry and it was great! We actually live in Charlotte but had out of town family visiting. We all learned so much and got to see different parts of the city. Do this tour!!! read more

Unfortunately, we do not recommend this tour. It was $36.50 per person and that doesn't even include the online fees which made it to about $40 per person. Also parking in the area is hectic and is about $15. The email did say to arrive by 12:50pm for our 1:00pm tour. We understand that it was our fault for not arriving by 12:50pm due to parking being difficult to find, but we still arrived before the tour start time of 1:00pm. We arrived at 12:58pm, but no tour showed up. At 1:10pm, we called the office to see if the tour was coming and we found out that they had already left. We asked if there was another day or time that we could tour instead and at first we were just told that there was nothing that could be done and that we missed our tour, even when we arrived before the tour start time. He even said that someone tried to call or text us which was untrue, because we did not receive any phone calls or texts from them. After further discussion with the man on the phone, he finally showed some form of customer service and said he would call a driver to swing by and pick us up. The driver was apologetic and very friendly (much more friendly than the man I spoke to on the phone). Unfortunately, the tour itself was subpar. There were a few interesting historic facts, but it was mostly just driving around and pointing out buildings. We could of honestly just drove around ourselves and read the building signs and that would've been the tour. Also, the tour was supposed to be an hour and a half. However, with the fiasco in the beginning we missed the first 20 mins of the tour and the tour ended 10 minutes early so essentially we paid for 90 minutes but only got an hour tour. I'd say take another tour if you want your moneys worth. read more

We did not have a great time on our tour. We had a brewery tour and it was unorganized, the breweries didn't know we were coming. Just not what we expected. We thought we would get more for the price. Some history on the different breweries and what they were known for. Lastly our instructions were to be at the meeting site 20 min early and the driver was 15 minutes late. read more

Fun and informative! We had a tour of the city with Sandy, and she was extremely well informed about the history of each of our stopping points. We were one of two groups on the tour itself, and she made sure to allow ample time to ask questions about the history of the city and see what brought us to Charlotte. It was very noticeable that locals knew her from her friendly interactions along the way, so it was reassuring to know that our tour guide had spent 30+ years being here. Nothing but positive feedback! read more

We did the $49 brewery tour. For that price I found the tour to be a bit lacking. Our guide Anthony was great and very personable, so by no means a reflection on him. But for $50 a person all we got was a ride to a few breweries and one beer (didn't even get our free fried pickles). For that price I would have expected a sampling flight at each brewery, some kind of tour of how it's brewed, and prior notice to the breweries that a tour was coming and they would have reserved an area or at least had someone to greet us. Literally we were just dropped off to fend for ourselves at each location. This is no different than paying for an Uber from place to place and that would have been MUCH cheaper since we were paying for our drinks at each place anyway. So my advice would be to skip the tour and look up your own breweries to visit and Uber between them! read more

What a great way to spend a hot summer night in Charlotte! Our guide Barb was hilarious and knew tons of history and trivia about Charlotte. She took us on a 3-hour brewery tour (Triple C, Unknown, and Wooden Robot) that beat the pants off of Uber-hopping. read more

Booked this Brew and had a great time. Was a little worried about the social distancing, but we were the only couple with our guide. Kae was an excellent guide. She told us some of the city high lights as we drove and information about each brew pub we visited. All 3 breweries offered a great selection and were aware of the social distancing. Would highly recommend and definitely do again. read more

Anthony... or DJ Dan (what the white board said;) was an incredible tour guide. Gave more hospitality and information than what his pay check provides. As a potential resident of Charlotte, this was the perfect way to learn about the city; especially tidbits that one would never come across on their own. Highly recommend this tour or any tour they offer! Charlottes been and continues to be beautiful. read more

Queen City Rides is the BEST new way to experience and travel through Charlotte! The driver picked me up (on time) at my home in South End. My friends and I buckled up and hit the road in this street-legal 8-person golf cart! We passed breweries, restaurants, and the ballpark to head uptown. It was a quick ride with beautiful weather, lots of laughs, and fan fair from curious on-lookers. I will definitely book a tour...or simply wave for a ride! I give Queen City Rides two snaps in a Z formation! =) read more

I used Queen City Rides for the first time this weekend and my experience was awesome! Lexie, our driver, was so friendly and down to earth. She really made the experience a lot of fun and took me and my friends all over Charlotte in a golf cart. I highly recommend using this service, especially if you are new to the city like me. You get to learn and see all different areas the Queen City in one ride. Highly recommended, especially for larger groups! read more

We spent a few days in Charlotte as we're thinking about moving there. We took a tour of uptown Charlotte with Lee and Marie. They were very funny and friendly. They knew a lot about the city and the time went quickly. We definitely recommend them! read more

This was my first time visiting North Carolina and this city tour of is a fun and relaxing way to see Charlotte. My tour guide was Danny Jordan and he was fantastic! For an hour and a half, he took us all over downtown Charlotte in an extended golf cart sharing an abundance of information about his city. He was polite, informative, and very entertaining. I had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour. read more

Queen City Rides took my friends and I on a brewery tour as part of a birthday celebration; we had an absolute BLAST!! They made the drive from brewery to brewery all part of the fun! The carts zip around town pretty quickly and the drivers add to the fun, I'll definitely call on them again! read more

We did the brewery tour with keith. He was great it was like riding around with a friend. We were the only two on tour and he gave us ride later to a concert. The stop to stop rides are for tips, the brewery tour was great and I would highly recommend them. Alot of fun in the cart and Keith was beyond nice ns helpful. read more

Kevin gave us a fantastic trip through what seemed like every neighborhood in CLT. He was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. I had not expected such an extensive trip on an open air street-modified golf limo. I would recommend it to visitors and locals alike. Learn more about your city in a great open air experience. It moves as fast as nearly all of the downtown traffic but provides panoramic views along the way. He also gives rides to and from in Charlotte which would be a great way to get home safely. Thanks Kevin for a great afternoon and early evening. read more

As a first time visitor to Charlotte, I was looking for something unique in a tour and at the same time I wanted to a city tour. Queen City Rides is different with its' golf cart and the personal attention in answering all of our questions regarding Charlotte. Kevin, also gave a brief history of the city and the county and the growth; which gave a local perspective of the city. I definitely will do the same tour again with my family this fall. read more

Make sure you ride with Thelma and Louise! They were some of the sweetest, funniest tour guides. They have great chemistry and are a WEALTH of information! They were so ecstatic when we told them we were getting married they even offered to attend. The right amount of Southern Hospitality and sass! read more

Just what we were looking for: small group tour of Charlotte for our first time in the city. The open air golf cart was perfect. It allowed us to easily look around and was a nice compromise between a Segway and a bus tour. It was a chilly day and the blankets were a thoughtful touch to keep us comfortable as we drove through the city. Kevin was informative and had interesting facts to share about the history as well as Charlotte's future plans. I recommend this tour as the perfect way to get to know this beautiful city. read more

A lot of fun! Got to know the city a bit more and try some local beers. Highly recommend

This was the best Tuesday evening we have ever had in Charlotte! Lexi was super fun and guided us around the town to local microbreweries for three whole hours!!! Highly recommend! read more

Kevin was accommodating and informative! Lexi gave us a delightful point of view of the city! 90 minutes of fun! Highly recommend this tour!! read more
