An Introduction to Charlotte - We thoroughly enjoyed our historical city bus tour of Charlotte. Our driver, Keith, shared interesting historical details as he drove us through Uptown. He helped us feel more familiar with Charlotte. It was a good beginning point for more exploration of the Queen City.

Dan was entertaining, nice, and knowlegdeable! - The tour was very informative and Dan pointed out some rich historical markers. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the different landmarks and places to go. Dan made some great restaurant suggestions and we actually went to two of the locations during our visit! I wish we had more down time during our conference to have been able to ride the train and see the NASCAR Hall of Fame! Charlotte seems to be a smaller city so I hope anyone who takes this tour understands that it needs to be taken at face value and not compare it to a bigger city they may have visited.
