Came into visit some family and friends for the weekend and decided to take the new tour in Plaza…read moreMidwood. We were really taken aback how the area has changed for the good in such a short period of time. The amount of great art, food, and drink in such a cute community is really great. The tour itself was very fun and we learned alot of history about the area and how it came to be and where it is going. The guide (Mark) was a walking encyclopedia of plaza midwood and kept the tour light and airy. We definitely plan on coming back for their other tours. #onlyinPM!

Had an unexpectedly great time tonight on a "Tour Plaza Midwood" walk. We visited Pour, Pilot…read moreBrewing and Legion Brewing. There were about 9 others on the tour. Mark the tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the neighborhood. He made several points about the history of the area that I had not heard about before and I thought I was familiar with the area. If you're looking for a relaxed date night and enjoy brews and history, give this tour a go, you won't be disappointed!

Segway riding looks like such fun....guess what...IT IS!! It's so easy and what a great way to see…read morethe best parts of Charlotte. Luke was a super tour guide and braved the cold with us. We wanted to go after Thanksgiving to see the lights and it was totally worth it. Seeing the city lit up for Christmas from a cemetery at night...priceless. We've lived here 20 years and this has to be the best way to see the city. It's a must-do when you come to Charlotte and for us that live here, we'll be glad to join you on this tour because it never gets old.

Trust me, my husband and I have done a lot of Segway-ing in the past few years, and this operation out of Charlotte is solid, and a definite for any guests you may have visiting from out of town. (Heck, it's a definite for anyone who hasn't been on a Seg before and LIVES in Charlotte!) QCS has different tours, and we've been on a historical one, along with one for the South End. They're always informative, and include plenty of riding. You'll have ample time to get acclimated to their machines-- which are in good condition. (Trust me, some places have old, old Segways that don't quite respond the right way...not fun.) This place also doesn't put their machines on Turtle Mode. That prevents the rider from going fast. Actually, it prevents the rider from going ANY speed over a turtle's speed. The various tour guides we've had here in Charlotte are entertaining without being cheesy and rehearsed, and they're big into safety, as they should be. TIP: Sign up for their mailing list, or check them out on Facebook or call for specials. Prices can be up there, but having a Groupon, or other deal helps make it affordable for a big group. PS: I always like asking our tour guides, no matter where we are, how many people have fallen off the Segway. The response is always kinda funny... :-)

We had an awesome time visiting. We came as they were opened but shortly later a stream of school…read morekids also came in and kinda took over so it was harder to do the things we wanted. There were lots of cars on display. I enjoyed reading and learning about nascar history. But the funnest part is the practice race you get to do in the car although it is only a simulation. Best advice I can give is yo make your way yo the top first to do the racing and slowly work your way down.

Fun activities…read more Building a race car, pit crew, ride stimulator and scavenger hunt, then ended the day racing the cars we built (out of card board and balloons lol) Building was easy to get around in.

He answered all of our questions, gave us time for a ton of photo ops, even taking them for us. If you are in Charlotte and have an opportunity to do a Rydables tour, definitely do it. We had so much fun!!

A lot of fun and some cool/scary stories. The young guy leading our group was on his 4th tour and…read moreanother member of the historical society was with him. He only slipped-up on dates a few times. He was engaging and fun to listen too. This is fun for the whole family and the audience is taken into account so the stories are tapered to fit the youth of the audience. We were all older so, some of the scarier versions were revealed. FYI-make an evening out of it, several fun restaurants and taverns are right by the tracks where most of the stories take place.

This was my second time visiting and I still came away learning so much more about The Brooklyn Collective and the businesses that are housed here. A big thanks to Monique for hosting an Educators Appreciation Night so that we could enjoy the art, a tour of the facilities, as well as the live jazz that followed. If you have not had a chance to visit this place, you should definitely make it a priority!

I would say this is a must-see if you're going to go to museums here in Charlotte. I love the fact…read morethat it had different types of art to view. It had something for everybody, even had a lighting exhibit, and I'm all about the lighting. We spent a good two hours here. It's in the middle of the city, so you can go to restaurants and shops when you're done or before. It was a $18 entrance fee for me, and they offered a senior discount as well for anyone 65 and older.

Extremely nice museum in Charlotte. They had an exhibit of local art from high school students…read morethat made me question why I made life choices because it was so good...lol.

What a great experience! First of all Caleb, our driver and tour guide was top tier excellent and professional! Not bad for a Massachusetts transplant! He's been in the CLT going on four years and has a solid understanding of the history of CLT. The tour is amazing with essentially a focus on the four Wards. You'll see a 'behind' the scenes view of some of CLT's great statues and historically relevant buildings, business' and homes in Fourth Ward. There are seat belts in the Golf Cart, rear view mirrors, flashers and headlights we all felt very safe. Caleb is very friendly and allows for interactive engagement so you have an opportunity to ask questions and have a dialogue. Easy to find on the sidewalk fronting 7th street and the garage at Seventh Street Market. I especially liked the tour of Fourth Ward and drive by of all the older and historic homes.

Our first trip was to the Amalfi coast, never could I imagine a more wonderful experience. Every minute from arriving in Rome, to arriving in Positano for 8 nights, and returning to Rome was amazing. Our journey director was outstanding. Our fellow travelers were fabulous, a group of 12. We would explore the coast from this beautiful spot in Positano, each day setting out for adventure in a lovely Mercedes van. We were mostly in places where we saw few Americans, we ate at wonderful restaurants, and had an absolute blast. We had a wonderful blend of active and down time, we learned and saw so much, and laughed every day ! Amazing! The next trip was Florence, Cinque Terra, and Tuscany, amazing as well. The hotels and villa we stayed in were top notch, our journey director amazing, another perfect trip. This was a more active trip, but we enjoyed every second, we felt like we saw a very real side of Italy, not just tourist spots. The Time we spent on each spot was magical. The charming town of Lucca and the Villa in Tuscany were top of our list. We are not organized tour people, but the small group, perfectly curated Nada's trips are beyond. We could not recommend them more highly.

From the outside, I would have never expected such potential. The large building is planted very near the tracks off of Tryon & Dalton - just a few minutes from Uptown. Now, I'm sure the space varies per event, but the folks at Lupus decorated it beautifully. Tons of tables, a large bar to the right, dance floor near the stage and plenty of walking around room. Plus, there are two old train cars outside the side doors that are perfect for additional entertainment options - the event last night had a fortune teller and a bones reader in these cars. Per Extravaganza Depot's website, it looks like they are full service event planning and execution company. Capacity wise, the site reads 350 seated and 600 standing and there are adequate restroom facilities and probably 200 parking spaces (total guess here). There aren't too many well put together venues in Charlotte that host these types of numbers, but Extravaganza Depot does offer a great option!

What a GREAT space for ANY party or event! Extravaganza Depot converted part of their warehouse into a venue for parties and events. It's a very cool open space with a back deck that has a GREAT view of the Charlotte Skyline and 2 train cabooses that can be used. Not only do you get a GREAT venue for your party, you get access to the thousands of their props for your party. The folks at Extravaganza Depot were extremely professional, courteous, fun to work with and did a fantastic job! I could go on and on but the bottom line is, Extravaganza Depot is an AMAZING venue for a party or event and they did an AMAZING job and exceeded our very high expectations! We could not be more pleased with our choice to go with the Extravaganza Depot for our very important event! We would totally recommend using Extravaganza Depot for your next event/party!!! THANK YOU EXTRAVAGANZA DEPOT FOR BEING A HUGE PART OF MAKING OUR EVENT/PARTY SO SUCCESSFUL!!!
