Overview

Buzz through Charlotte’s hopping Uptown neighborhood on this Segway tour of North Carolina’s biggest city! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! We thoroughly and carefully train each guest BEFORE the 1.5 tour begins. It's FUN and EASY!

This was a really fun way to see and hear about the cities history. The tour guide Isaiah was good but he spoke faster than a NewYorker in a hurry.

Rod was great. Learned a lot and the weather was perfect. Why is Downtown called Uptown? What do the statues at Trade and Tryon represent? When was the first Declaration of Independence declared? You could look it up on Wikipedia, or just let Rod explain it.
