    Rachel_B, Apr 2024
    Hannah was excellent. She was excited to bring the history to her guests and engaged the adults and especially the children. One child was a wizard that seemed to know all of the answers, which Hannah used to our enhancement of the tour. Please give Hannah a raise.

    A relaxed, informative tour!
    Ufy_O, Jan 2024
    Hannah's warm spirit and obvious fondness for Charlotte made the tour worthwhile. She also pointed out unique features downtown one wouldn't ordinarily notice or consider when driving or walking through. Afterwards, she recommended several cafes to check out within walking distance, one of which turned out to be quite a treat.
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
