The experience

The tour moves through Uptown Charlotte on a covered party golf cart: new carts with seat belts and a smooth ride that stay protected in rain or cold weather. Your guide is a live local who explains the artists, hidden meanings and inspirations behind each mural as you cruise past them. You can ask to stop and take pictures at any point during the route, so bring a camera for the street art backdrops.

The cart passes the Blumenthal Arts Center, home to the symphony, opera and dance companies; Bank of America Stadium, the 74,000-seat home of the Carolina Panthers; and the NASCAR Hall of Fame with its interactive exhibits and simulator rides. You'll also see the Charlotte Visitor Info Center where you can grab souvenirs, and a downtown overlook with 360-degree views and statues. If the day is hot, ask your guide for a handheld fan to stay comfortable.

After the tour wraps, head to Market at 7th Street for food, drinks and more souvenirs. Groups of four or more staying at center-city hotels can arrange pickup from their accommodation. The total time includes travel, so plan for the full window. You ride at your own risk and must follow the cart's rules: stay seated while moving, no glass containers, and no boarding while intoxicated. Anyone showing signs of illness should not join the tour.

Is this one for you?The cart format works best for travelers who want to cover multiple murals and landmarks without walking, and who enjoy a social, guided experience with photo stops built in. If you're in a group of four or more staying downtown, hotel pickup saves the step of finding the meeting point.
