      Cozy tour of Charlotte
      Very enjoyable tour from Todd. Todd was full of insights about Charlotte history and current events. I especially appreciate the cozy fleece blankets Todd brought for us so we could be comfortable despite the chilly temp. A great way to start our trip to Charlotte. Thank you!

      The First thing that stood out was that you could speak with someone (Phil) on the phone to ask questions and get answers. Once we made our reservations, we were given specific instructions as to get to the pick up area and times. Our driver, Sherrie, Sheeeerrriiieeee Baby!!!, was Very Knowledgeable and Informative regarding Charlotte. Her colleagues were also very knowledgeable and informative when there were several conversations going on. The bus was comfortable, Mechanically Sound, and we were all comfortable . I would “HIGHLY” recommend Southern Charm Rides for your Charlotte, NC Tours. Thank You Southern Charm Rides for a Fantastic Experience and Tour Buddy/Rose Mock

    Katrina was our guide and I could tell right off the bat that she was going to be good. She did not disappoint! Her stories were well told and she threw in a lot of extra personal stories of her own experiences. The other story tellers were also good and the tour took us to many places we would not have known about on our own. The golf cart was definitely the way to go. Highly recommend!

    The haunted tour was great! It covered multiple cemeteries, haunted city buildings, and even some local houses. Brenda was our tour guide and she is not only knowledgeable but she is funny! We did a historical tour with her in the afternoon and booked to be with her that same night! I personally wanted to do a haunted tour but didn’t want to be stuck walking around, especially at night and the golf cart tour was completely what I needed!

    The golf carts were comfy, the history was great, and the female tour guide was great. However, my tour guide didn't want to be out at night, in a graveyard, listening/telling a homicide story. On top of that, he thought people that liked this were weird. The people dressed up in cheap costumes unrelated to any of the stories trying to scare us were amateur hour and cheapened the experience.

    There is only one place there is a jump out not related and that is due to customer suggestion. Our drivers are not amateur, some actually actors and all of them states they never and wouldn’t say that cause they enjoy this. At any point of a true crime where there is acting it is 100 percent related to the story. I’m not sure why you would say different. By no means are our costumes cheap. This is not a haunted trail. It is authentic stories of Charlotte, yes can be creepy but is not a haunted trail. I am unable to find a ticket for your tour. Please call the office.

    We had Kelly and it was her first day with the ghost tour so we also had Katrina along who really knew her ghosts. They were great at embellishing with side stories of their own.

    I really liked the historical tour that we did a year ago, so much information about the area.

    I’m not sure what I was expecting, but the ghost tour was disappointing.

    We tell authentic ghost tales of the city and show true crime areas. Some people get pictures of strange encounters. Our stories are authentic and can be looked up to see that but we cannot guarantee a ghosts. We all got out together at all spots and told the ghost haunted stories, but not sure what you mean? We are sorry you didn’t enjoy, it seemed everyone was enjoying.

    My husband and I went on this tour tonight 4/7/24. We had a really good time. The staff was great, the information was great and it all together was a perfect experience. We did catch some spooky things on camera. To us we see a face above the Rira, we saw several orbs at the Sumpter Cemetery, and we had a picture of the fireman but somehow it disappeared from my phone before I could share it…but not before I showed it to 2 other people on the tour.

    I went with a friend and we both had a great time! Something different to do for Halloween. The area was amazing and we covered a good bit of ground. The only thing I was hoping was we'd spend more time in the big cemetery. I really wanted to get a picture at the mausoleum. I saw something on my camera but didn't get it. There were some really cool spots there so hopefully I can get back. I would love to do this again!

    We went on this tour for something to fill our time. Took pictures of creepy locations throughout. When we got home, I was looking through the photos. There were 2 photos from the firehouse that clearly had white apparitions. One was what appeared to be a face in a tiny window of the garage door. The other was a skinny long floating something with a tiny face at the top of it. Completely floored me. Great tour!

    Both my wife and I were looking for something interesting and fun to do centered around Halloween festivities. When we discovered that there was a ghost themed, true crime, tour and uptown, where you can ride on golf carts, we instantly jumped forward. We were certainly not disappointed. They were two golf carts that drove us around uptown. And the drivers of each cart would share stories about the areas as you drill through them. One of our first stops was a very large cemetery. Here we heard about many of the tails the cemetery had to tell from and from beyond the grave. So much history to be had. Both my wife and I love history and we got a good earful of it on this tour. It’s always interesting to hear the stories and many things that I’ve gone on before from streets that you’re used to walking, but never knew the stories of. Our tour guides are both very good storytellers and presented an atmosphere. That was friendly, lively and intriguing. We learned of tales of many of the older historically preserved homes of 4th ward. Certainly peaked my interest, and I certainly will be doing further studies on all the interesting things that happen in that period throughout decades of old. One of the last stops was the DunHill hotel. Sad state of affairs that hotel has held throughout the years. They say that the hotel is inhabited by a lively ghost, named Dusty, keeping the staff and those residing, if only for a night, on their toes or clinging to their sheets in fear, of the unknown. The tour was slated to be an hour and a half, which turned into two hours. In this case longer was certainly better in my book. They didn’t seem to feel the need to rush through anything to get back. They left plenty of time for questions and comments, and for creating a generally entertaining atmosphere. The golf carts were very comfortable not those rickety old ones that give you a sore back when you’ve driven through any streets in uptown. Two thumbs up from me, and two thumbs up from my wife. We will be interested in learning of the other tours they have. We hear they have really good historical tour if you’d like to learn more about historical Charlotte.

    What an awesome review! Thank you for taking the time for that! We are glad you enjoyed our carts, as we do have the most smooth riding carts in the city, actually brand new and extra cushion! Some have said it rides like a Bentley! We do aim for comfort and for everyone to have a good time. It was such a pleasure showing you all the information.
