We enjoyed great food and great drinks! Our host was so nice and informative! Highly recommend!
Went on a brunch tour with Johnny and had the absolute best time! Equal parts good food and good times! Would absolutely book again! This is absolutely for locals too - I've lived in CLT for 8.5 years and got to see the Queen City in a whole new light!
We live just outside of Charlotte but have been in the area for about 5+ years. My partner booked a tour of uptown Charlotte for my birthday as a surprise. What a lovely surprise! Mackenzie was an excellent guide, she was casual, knowledgeable, and paced the tour perfectly. She told Amelies it was my birthday ahead of time so I even got an extra surprise when we arrived. Overall, the restaurants and spots we visited were amazing. I would recommend this experience highly and will even be sending the in-laws as their Christmas present!
We took the Saturday evening tour this weekened with MaKenzie. We've lived near Charlotte for 20 years, but don't get uptown very often. I surprised my wife with the tour and had another couple join us. We had 7 people in the party and had a wonderful time. The food and drinks were wonderful & it was a great evening. MaKenzie was super sweet and took great care of us. I'd definitely recommend the tour & we have some spots we want to go back and eat again!
I've lived in Charlotte for 6 years and had friends visiting from Chicago. This was the perfect, laid-back activity for a Saturday for us! Johnny was incredible. He has amazing energy! All of the restaurants we visited were fun, diverse and a great representation of locally owned businesses in Charlotte. I definitely recommend this tour- whether you have visitors in town or if you just want to do something fun in your own city!

Trends come and go, but the idea of a bunch of guys getting together in a garage and playing the kind of music that makes the neighbors call the cops — that’s forever. And it’s that idea that’s crystallized in the form of Radio Moscow. The power trio led by the Stratocaster genius Parker Griggs have found THE formula : powerful, crunching Sabbathstyle chords and fiery solos that earn the right to be called Hendrixian and plants its flag firmly in the territory where psychedelic rock and cranked-up blues meet. Parker’s demo caught the ear of The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, who produced the 2007 self-titled debut. With « Brain Cycles », their second album Radio Moscow proves that they’re not a cheap time machine but a direct descendant from the golden age of Rock’n’Roll. In 2011, Griggs continued his psychedelic trip with « The Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz » realesed by Alive Records. Just this year the band recorded their first album as a full trio untitled “Magical Dirt”. The band is on the road now supporting the new album, check the tour section to see if they are coming near you!

► Tours ► Day Tours ► From Moscow ► Day tour to Gorki Leninskie
Even if you are not a massive fan of the USSR, Lenin or socialism, Gorki Leninskie on the outskirts of Moscow is still a great place to visit, as it is one of the few estate houses in Russia belonging to a middling-class of landowners which has survived today with its interior intact. Of course the reason it has survived intact is thanks to the fact that Lenin spent the last years of his life here and after his death it was turned into a museum. Before Lenin, the estate belonged to the Zinaida Morozova – the widow of the famous Russian patron of the arts Savva Morozov. After the death of her husband, Zinaida wanted to turn the estate at Gorki into a family home with her new husband Anatoly Reinbolt, and the famous Russian architect Fyodor Shekhtel was hired to carry out the reconstruction

- The Large House – this is the house where Lenin spent the last years of his life and where he died on 21 January 1924. You will see not only the rooms where he worked and relaxed, but also the rooms of his sister, the beautiful summer gardens and lots of items connected with Lenin and the former owners of the estate.
- Lenin’s Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost – this car was bought in England for governmental use. At first it was a standard car with four wheels, but it was transferred to a factory in St Petersburg for modification: its body was placed on caterpillar tracks and skis were attached to the front. Lenin travelled from Moscow to Gorki in this car, and made trips around the Moscow Region in it. On the night of 21 January 1924, after the autopsy on Lenin's body, Lenin’s brain was taken in this car to Moscow to be studied, and on the return journey the car brought back a zinc coffin.
- Lenin's Kremlin office and apartment – on 12 December 1922 Lenin worked for the last time at his office in the Kremlin and departed for Gorki. His Kremlin office and apartment was then sealed shut. During the presidency of Yeltsin the rooms were opened up and it was decided to transfer the furniture to Gorki Leninskie where the rooms were recreated. You will see here the actual furniture that Lenin used as well as other interesting artefacts, some of which date from an even earlier period: a map of the time of the Russian Civil War, materials for congresses and conferences, collections of statistics, and presents from workers and peasants sent from all over the country. The clocks in the office display the time of 8.15 when Lenin last left his office.
- Lenin Museum – this is the newest building on the estate. The museum was built in 1987 and represents a true monument of the late Soviet period. The museum was cutting edge for its time and features audio components. The centre of each hall has a cube of black glass which displays a six-minute long film. The museum may be dedicated to Lenin, but today it also serves as a museum of the technology and spirit of the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
- Burial of the Leader Monument - this is one of the most unusual monuments of Vladimir Lenin. Nowhere else is the founder of the Soviet Union depicted as a corpse being carried, after all “Lenin lived, Lenin lives and Lenin will always live". The designer is Sergey Merkurov who also was responsible for creating Lenin’s death mask. He was at the time the country’s leading specialists in death masks and also worked on death masks for Lev Tolstoy, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Mikhail Bulgakov and Maksim Gorky.
