Thinking of booking the Queen’s City Black Legacy Walking Tour!

Hey everyone, I'm considering getting my dad the Queen’s City Black Legacy Walking Tour in Charlotte for his birthday. He loves history and I think this would be right up his alley! I'm just a bit worried about how long the tour lasts—anyone know if it’s a few hours or more? Also, what was the guide like? Thanks!

Just finished the Queen’s City Black Legacy Walking Tour - amazing!

I went on the Queen’s City Black Legacy Walking Tour last weekend and it was such a powerful experience! The guide was really passionate and shared so many incredible stories about Charlotte's history. Definitely wear comfy shoes, though—I didn’t realize how much walking we’d be doing. I highly recommend it for anyone, especially if you love learning about local culture!
