“Stormin’ Norman” was the best! He was very knowledgeable about Mayberry, Mount Airy, and of course Andy Griffith. It was so fun to ride in the squad car and learn about the local lore- we want to do it again!

Lived in NC 24 years and first trip to Mt Airy and I think we did it all. But you must start your visit with the Squad Car Tour. You’ll learn more than just the Andy Griffith story. We had Carroll and he was awesome!

We did a tour today with Stormin' Norman as our guide. What a great experience! I would suggest doing this on your first day in Mt Airy. The guide gave us a lot of ideas on what to do and where to eat when in Mt Airy. The lady answering the phone was very friendly. Also, we appreciated that we were able to bring our dog on the tour. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed.

Excellent tour! We had a lot of fun doing this. We road around in a time period accurate squad car and our guide showed us sites around the older part of the city that inspired places and stories from the Andy Griffith show. We also learned a little about the city itself and got to see the largest granite mine in the world.

My husband and I did the Squad Car tour while visiting Mt Airy. Our guide was very nice and informative. It was a nice tour around town and the information about Andy Griffith was very interesting. Worth the money. This is about the only neat thing about the whole town. Replica of the courthouse and jail is next door. It was a lot of fun!

Move it! Move it! Move it!What a great, informative and fun time we had, while riding around in an old squad car. This is a must do when in Mt Airy NC.Steve, out tour guide, good driver, great storyteller teller and as Andy would say, “He's one of our most respected citizens, one of our best church-goin' members. He knows every hymn in the book.But then Barney, “Aw, that's just a front! You watch him sometime when we're singin' "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms." He don't even know the words! He just moves his lips!”

Great idea for an area tour. Each driver does their own tour so every tour is different and unscripted. The cars are a fun touch, representing different years of squad cars featured on the Andy Griffith show.

We drove from Harrisonburg, VA to Mt Airy to view the Andy Griffith area. We had tossed it back and forth over whether to do the tour or not. I like to take photos and it's hard to do that and drive, too. My friend is disabled and can't walk for extended periods of time. So we decided the tour sounded like the best for both of us. We put our name on a list and within 20 minutes we're climbing into a 1967 Ford Galaxy and it's already taking me down memory lane to the time when my Dad owned one. Our tour guide was Roger, a fellow who loves his town and KNOWS about his town. He made us feel comfortable about asking any questions we might have and he hit the siren as we pulled onto the street. I haven't heard a siren like that for many a year. He took us to see the granite quarry, which neither one of us knew existed. My word, what a sight. And we agree with Roger, that structure needs to be restored and made into a historical site.And those gorgeous churches!! No wonder we kept seeing signs referring to Granite City. Buildings everywhere made from local granite. What a legacy the local men have to pass to their children, "Your Daddy had part in cutting the granite for that building". Roger was very knowledgeable concerning the quarry, the history of the churches and Andy Griffith from the time he was a child until his death. We also learned that Donna Fargo is from there. At the end of the tour, Roger recommended we enjoy the Andy Griffith Museum while we were in the area and gave us directions. VERY enjoyable!! VERY informative. Ready to do the tour again! A must do if you're in the area.

Honestly the absolute best way to see Mt Airy! If you love the Andy Griffith show you will love this guided tour in a squad car. Our driver was excellent and very knowledgeable about Andy Griffith. They take you to all the hot spots to see. Make sure to do this first thing on your visit so you can get a feel for where things are that you may want to see while you’re in town.

My sister and I visited in September 2022 on our way down to a concert in Greensboro and this was the highlight of our visit to Mount Airy, NC. I wish I remembered the name of our driver, but they all seemed like gems. Very informative and interesting tour the entire ride, absolutely worth the price. Driver also gave us plenty of time before and after to take photos in and outside the vehicle. Will take this tour again when I bring my parents to visit.

We had a great tour of Andy Griffiths hometown with Squad Car Tours! Our Driver Steve was great! He told us all about the history of the town as well as Andy and the other famous folks from there, and his own stories were priceless, he should write a book!The car, a 1966 Ford was in pristine condition and my son in law got to work the siren. It was well worth it!

What an awesome way to see Mayberry. Toured the town with a very knowledgeable guide, saw the highlights and learned much of the history. Hearing the siren was an added bonus. If you’re going to visit Mt Airy this is an awesome way to get to know it. Starts at Wally’s Filling Station.

My husband insisted that I leave a 5 star review for this tour! I took him to Mayberry for his birthday and he was more than excited. Andy Griffith was his favorite growing up. We enjoyed the tour immensely. There was a lot of information about Andy Griffith, but also about the town of Mt. Airy! It was fantastic. We did the tour as a last minute decision because we didn’t know about it ahead of time, and we got in pretty easily. We did show up pretty early and it was starting to get really busy by the time we returned. Don’t forget to tip your tour guide!

Kenneth was our guide. He was great! A wealth of information. The Fall festival was going on,so we didn't get to ride downtown, but it was still a great tour. Just riding in a classic car was great! And don't think that the quick 5 minutes side trip to see and learn about the granite mine will be boring, it's not! It's actually very amazing!

Reservation was simple and fast. The lady that I spoke with was very friendly. The squad car tour is a must when visiting mt airy. Our driver was very knowledgeable of the town history, andy Griffith's life, each characters life and the andy Griffith show. He kept us laughing throughout the entire tour.

Nice tour in a vintage Ford Galaxie! Interesting to learn several fun facts about "Mayberry", for instance - Wally's Fillin Station is the original (1937?) and Wally was a relative of Andy's (second cousin?). Drivers are a wealth of knowledge. However, a few pauses in their talk would be welcome to facilitate passengers being able to ask questions.
