Our tour was a fun little trip into Mt. Airy history. We learned about things we didn't expect, like the quarry, but it was fascinating. More

This is aMUST to do when you get to Mount Airy, NC. The tour is terrific with many attractions to see and hear the local color. Pet friendly as well. More

We have done numerous guided tours in all sorts of places but Squad Car Tours is absolutely the best ever. If you are fortunate enough to have D.C. Rawley as your driver/tour guide it will be even more memorable. He is a wealth of knowledge and insight on Mount Airy and Andy Griffith. Mr. Rawley should be designated as the... More

We took this tour with another couple last year and went with Roger. He was very friendly and informative. He spent about 75 percent of the tour showing us all around the Mayberry highlights and giving us loads of fun facts about Andy Griffith, the other characters in the show, and Andy's early years. The remaining time was spent on... More

Perfect for the true Mayberry/Andy Griffith fan. $30 a carload and one great tour of Mayberry/Mt. Airy. Very informative. While you are waiting for your tour to start, go get a picture of yourself in Otis's cell. All in all one heck of a deal. More

We did the squad tour first thing after arriving in Mt. Airy, it gave us a great overview of the town, including the history, points of interest and layout of the roads. This was good value and it's dog friendly. More

We took the squad car tour and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The witty and informative driver provided great commentary as we were leisurely chauffeured through Mayberry (I mean Mt. Airy) in his super cool '62 Ford Galaxy 500. The kids enjoyed his humor and the "low tech" car, which was made 40 years before they were born. The cost... More

This was the forth year of doing the squad tour. The second with DC as a guide. Money well spent for the car ride. DC told very interesting stories. More

If you're a fan of the Andy Griffith Show, you should take in one of these tours. First of all, you take the tour in a squad car like those used in the series. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable and kind. He gave us an entertaining ride around Mount Airy during which he shared fun vignettes about the career of... More

Mt Airy is a walking town with most attractions within a few blocks. Walked down to Wally's Service Station and saw the Squad Car Tours. I was the only one there and decided to take the tour. D.C was my driver and he was fantastic. It was like stepping back in time. He grew up in Mt Airy with Andy... More
