Charlotte Black History Golf Cart Tour Discover Hidden Legacies

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

What we do differently from other Golf Cart Tours is we cover much more ground riding into Charlotte's West Corridor rather than staying solely in Uptown Charlotte. We include stops in the Charlotte's oldest active Black neighborhood, Biddleville, McCrorey Heights and Brooklyn which is unique to our experience. This open-air golf cart tour not only educates but also supports local Black businesses, connecting you with entrepreneurs making a difference. Ideal for history enthusiasts and those looking to explore Charlotte's cultural heritage, this intimate journey promises to inform and inspire.
