I am a parent/chaperone of high school kids. We traveled from SC to NYC in March. The trip was…read moregreat. However, I want to focus on Bob Benfield, the greatest bus driver and quite possibly human being I have ever met. He drove for Bob Rogers Travel and I will put this review there as well. Bob puts his entire heart and soul in everything he does. He travels with mints in a basket, cold water and soda, which he wraps in paper towels for cold hands. He brought all the equipment needed to clean the whole bus. He travels with it. He has dad jokes a plenty but also vast knowledge of every place we passed. He drove through a terrifying snowstorm and we barely noticed. He's steady and pleasant no matter what, and this includes some creative city drivers. I was in the front seat and this man would see me take off my sweater and turn the temperature down. His life resumé is amazing and I could have listened to his life for hours. Simply the best person I have met. For Bob Benfield alone I give all his associated employers 5 stars.

Answers to any "fun quizzes" were always acknowledged by the people in front though people in the back would indicate that they also knew the answer. Apparently she regarded any comments as complaints to the extent that she loudly announced to a full restaurant that " I can never satisfy them, they are always complaining". I had always heard positive reports regarding this company before purchasing a tour but NEVER again.

Our honeymoon travels could not have been possible without the help from Sarah. From the beginning…read moreshe listened to exactly what we wanted to do and made sure she found just the right place for us. We were specific that we wanted to make sure we went to a place with lots of excursions and activities and she found us a place where we were able to go on adventures in the morning and be back in time to enjoy happy hour and a relaxing afternoon at our resort. Sarah was always available when we had questions and made sure to check in with us before the wedding week stress to make sure everything was ready to go so we did not have to worry about a thing for the honeymoon. We will absolutely be using her again for all of our travel needs (the sky is the limit now that we have our passports)! Thank you again Sarah for all of your help!

I was not aware that this was a bookable event center when I spotted the historic marker, so I did…read morenot manage to see the inside. Instead, I was able to appreciate the exterior of this Civil War era home in Statesville. The marker reads, "Col. Silas Alexander Sharpe. March 5, 1840 to December 9, 1903. Dedicated to the memory of Col. Silas A. Sharpe, a prominent industrialist and political leader in Statesville throughout the second half of the 19th century. He was sworn as the first Mayor of the City of Statesville on March 25, 1867. The home of Col. Silas A. Sharpe remains here as one of the oldest houses in Statesville and has been rightfully placed on the National Register of Historic Places." The Classical Revival home has deep ties to the civic leadership of Statesville as it was the home of the city's first mayor. Construction began in the 1850s but the Civil War delayed progress and it was eventually completed in 1866. The two-story three-bay frame dwelling includes a dramatic two-story portico with clustered columns and a symmetrical facade. The large windows, central hallway plan and deep porch are all classically intended to improve ventilation and comfort in the Southern climate. As I mentioned, I didn't tour the home but perhaps on a future visit to Statesville, I will see about doing that. [Review 588 of 2026 - 4677 in North Carolina - 25769 overall]

We held our son's wedding at The Historic Sharpe House and it was better than I could have ever…read moreimagined. First and foremost they treated us like royalty. Leading up to and booking was simple and Keith Rhyme kept in contact for any potential problems with the changing conditions we live in. Once the day arrived, the house staff took care of the ladies beyond belief with an elegant tea, and handled any of their needs while giving them all the privacy they needed to prepare for the big day. The wedding ceremony went off perfect as Keith also served as wedding director. Then the dinner. The service was incredible, and meal was one of the finest I have had. The best part was it was all very affordable. If you want your family to experience a dream event without spending a kings ransom. I recommend Crown Events at The Historic Sharpe House. #Wedding #ElegantDining #Affordable #BabyShower #Anniversary

I absolutely loved seeing the filming spots, I even bought a t-shirt to remember this day! Talking to one of the employees, he said most of their visitors are Hunger Games fans. While I give this spot 5 stars for checking the "once in a lifetime" box, I really wish they would preserve this place a bit more. Katniss' house (building #16) was home to miscellaneous christmas decorations, random tools, and a birds nest. Also, it was so dark in there we had to get a flashlight out of our car. Genuinely, I would have loved to see this house as a close to movie accurate as possible, or even decorated with photos from the film featuring the location. I think this house would have been awesome as a mini museum (with replicated furniture, not actual movie pieces of course). I think this would bring in a lot of fans and spark up a lot of social media tourism with the new movie coming out. Now is the time! Again, absolutely awesome to see for any Hunger Games fan.
