We were suggested to ask for Gary... We didn't but we got him anyway and he was GREAT! Very knowledgeable of the town, very funny and a great story teller! He was patient with the kids and encouraged their engagement in the trip. Everyone had a blast and he made us take funny photos after the event... Which we will enjoy for years!

Steve (the fellow on the left side of the pic) is a fantastic tour host and made us feel right at home. Very informative, friendly, and kind. We came during Mayberry Days and thought they'd be pretty full up. But they got us in to a tour in about 45 minutes. We'd read about Steve in other reviews before going so we were excited he was our tour host.Well worth the cost. We highly recommend taking this tour before anything else in Mt. Airy (other than possibly Wally's Filling Station and the Mayberry Courthouse which are right next door) so you get the lay of the land and have a better idea of what you'd like to do next.

We loved our squad car tour. Ray was a great guide to "Mayberry" and it was definitely the highlight of our trip to town. The folks in the gift shop were friendly, and there are some "must-sees" next door as well (such as replicas of Mayberry Courthouse/Sheriff's office, Darlin Cabin, etc.). Come, unwind, relax on the front porch with an RC Cola and a Moon Pie after you schedule your tour and enjoy the time with family/friends!

This tour was a real treat...riding around town with the windows down in a 60's squad car. Our driver was Gary and he was wonderful. Husband and I had my 2 grandsons- 11 and 12 with us. Gary was great with the boys, answered all their questions and quizzed them about facts from the Andy Griffith show. They really enjoyed it and excitedly retold the experience to anyone that would listen! I really think this tour should be taken, whether you do anything else or not!

This is a must do to see and hear the stories about Andy's life. Our guide was Larry and he is very knowledgeable. We had a great tour. We also loved his sense of humor and he answered all our questions. This was the best part of our visit. Once we were done with the tour we went back to the places that interested us. The old police car was perfect for the tour and added to our trip down memory lane. Thank you again, Larry!

If you are a fan of the Andy Griffith show - the squad car tour is a must. Heck, even if you aren't a fan, it's a must! What a fantastic experience with Gary, our driver. We loved riding in the old squad car and Gary treated us like we were already close friends. He gave a great tour and you could tell he was enjoying himself as much as we were enjoying the experience. He had some playful banter with his friend Donnie before the tour started - and it just reminded me of the playful banter Andy and Barney Fife would have on the show. It made me think these two guys could've been on the Andy Griffith show with their friendly teasing of one another. Mt. Airy is a great town and is definitely Mayberry. You can tell the people who live there are just like what you would see on the show - good, kind folks who know how to do hospitality. The Squad Car tour was a lot of fun. Do it before you explore the town so you'll already know about the things you're seeing and exploring afterward.

This was the coolest tour. Its cash or personal check ONLY- no credit cards! Before we started the young lady who takes your reservation and money, took our pictures in the squad car and beside the squad car with my phone. Then Don, who has lived in the town all his life, gave us a tour in the squad car. He was so animated, had us laughing and just told us all kinds of neat facts about the Andy Griffith show, the town of Mt. Airy and the cast. We loved it and would recommend everyone take the tour, its a MUST if you visit Mt. Airy, NC If you get to Mt. Airy early in the day and want to do a late afternoon ride, I suggest that you at least go sign up before you venture in any of the shops, the reason is, it was just a basic Saturday for us and they were steady busy with rides!! So get your name on the list FIRST and then go visit the rest of the town and museums! You won't be disappointed!!!
