5.00The tour guide Naomi was very polite and friendly, and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the culture, community, and history as it related to Queen Charlotte as well as Africa Americans that contributed to the community and society as a whole. The timing and length of the tour was adequate and very satisfying to learn what sounds like the backbone and footprint of Charlotte's existence. A tour well worth it and one I would highly recommend!

5.00I used to live in Charlotte 15 years ago but I was always so busy working that I never really spent time touring it. I was in town for a conference and was able to squeeze the Queen City Black Legacy Walking Tour on my agenda. It was excellent. Naomi did a great job of giving me the history of the area before the establishment of Charlotte and then the reasons for the establishment of Charlotte and showing me different points of interest, keeping the African American perspective in mind. She pointed out some black-owned businesses during our walk that I later went to visit. I previously lived in Charlotte 15 years ago but never knew that Queen Charlotte had some African heritage in her family line. I recommend the Queen City Black Legacy Walking Tour.
Great informative tour
