--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We would like to say anytime, however, we would not be telling the truth. The truth is, and based on our many years of experience, most people think alike and therefore they will all call usually at the same time or within the same time frame. That is why we leave pertinent information on our voicemail and why we spend at least eight hours per week updating our web site. If you can not reach us by phone, just email your request by clicking on our request information link located @ queencitytours.com or simply text us @ 704-566-0104. Contrary to popular belief, we actually read every email and text coming in to our office.
Q. Write your own question and answer it.
A. What type customer typically does business with your company and why do you prefer that type customer?
We typically attract well-mannered, polite, and well-traveled customers that trust that we could not possibly survive since 1993 if we did not know what we were doing.

My husband and I moved to Fort Mill, SC in June 2011 from Washington, D.C. and wanted to take a tour of Charlotte. We purchased tickets through Groupon for Queen City Tours.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that has never been to Charlotte. John Williams has studied the history of Charlotte and makes the tour very interesting and interactive.

My wife and I spent the night in Charlotte, NC while heading home from vacation in the south. Since we were here we decided to to look for a guided tour of the city, so we called Queen City Tours. From the pick up at the hotel to the drop off it was GREAT! The driver was GREAT, he knows the city, its history and the little details about city. Yes, that was a great tour.

I hired Queen City Tours and Travel to transport guests to my daughters wedding. They were coming from a local hotel and it was critical that they be picked up and dropped off ON TIME. The bus was nearly new and clean, and I am happy to say that they arrivied in plenty of time for the ceremony! It was a pleasure working with the people at Queen City Tours. If you need transportation for large or small groups, give them a call!

Queen City Tours is excellent! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and built an overall rapport with all of us on the tour. We have been in Charlotte for 14 years and took an Uncle who was in town for the week on the tour. We learned SO much about our own city. What a pleasure!
