North Carolina is one of the most beautiful states in the country. It’s equal parts small-town charm and outdoor adventure with the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway and the Gray Smoky Mountains calling it home. We are also big fans of Grandfather Mountain, a monstrous 1,828-meter freak of nature with billions of years old rock formations. For a more coastal feel, visitors and residents can also head to Cape Lookout National Seashore, unspoiled barrier islands on the state's outer banks with extraordinary Crystal Coast views.
Some of North Carolina’s most popular attractions include Jockey’s Ridge State Park, Chimney Rock State Park, and the quaint college towns of Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh.

Here are some of our favorite reviews from two North Carolina residents:
“The buying experience from Tesco for our church bus was the best move I made. By choosing TESCO even though I found buses closer in proximity, the quality of the purchase was better, they delivered on every aspect of the sale and would recommend anyone looking for a van or bus to check with Tesco first. I had not heard of Tesco and search other dealers and there sales representation and inventory was the best that I found and they actually had the buses on site...” - Bob (Marshville, NC)
“Dan Myrice was the sales manager that I dealt with while purchasing my shuttle. The process went smoothly and all the questions I had were answered. Dan made the experience a great one and I look forward to working with TESCO again in the near future simply due the professionalism that was displayed. A very satisfied customer” - Dorian McCallum , Carolina Shuttle Services, LLC (Lauren Hill, NC)
