Just finished the Uptown Charlotte audio tour! Here’s my take.

I just did the self-guided audio tour in Uptown Charlotte, and it was such a blast! I loved exploring at my own pace and the stories Phil told were super engaging. The GPS feature was spot on, and I felt like I was uncovering little pieces of history around the city. I highly recommend it, especially if you like walking tours but want to avoid being on someone else’s schedule!

Looking for a unique gift idea? Consider this audio tour!

I’m thinking about gifting this audio tour of Uptown Charlotte to my parents for their anniversary. They love both history and walking, so this seems perfect! I love that they can do it at their own pace. Has anyone given this as a gift? How did it go?
