About this tour
When Alex from our team booked this private golf cart tour around Bentonville, we got a relaxed 90-minute spin through a city that's become a design and food destination in northwest Arkansas. The cart fits up to five, so it works for small groups or families. You're shown the Instagram-famous public art spots, homes from the HGTV show Fixer to Fabulous, and get the lowdown on local restaurants and bars from someone who actually knows the area. It's a solid first move if you're new to Bentonville and want the lay of the land without trudging on foot.

What to expect
Alex's experience was straightforward: you hop in a golf cart at the start point, your guide navigates familiar streets at a gentle pace, and you stop to admire public art, snap photos of the Fixer to Fabulous houses (viewable from the street), and chat through the restaurant and bar scene. The guide didn't feel rushed or over-rehearsed—more like a mate showing you around. Bentonville itself is tidy, walkable, and has that new-money energy of a place reinventing itself. You'll see why it's become a draw for design-conscious visitors and families relocating to Arkansas. The cart keeps you from melting in the heat whilst still getting a proper sense of the streetscape.
The 90 minutes is enough to hit the main spots without feeling padded. One thing worth knowing: you're basically sightseeing at a very slow speed, so if you're after an adrenaline rush or deep cultural dives, this isn't it. It's a scenic orientation tour, and it does that well.
Good to know
This is ideal for families with young kids, older visitors, or anyone who doesn't want to walk round a new city in the heat. A local guide beats a self-guided map, and you'll genuinely pick up restaurant and bar recommendations tailored to what's actually good. The private cart means you're not crammed with strangers, and the price works out well for groups of three or more splitting it.
It's a sightseeing tour dressed up as an experience—you're not getting hands-on, tasting anything, or going behind closed doors. The cart is open-air, so rain or extreme heat could put a damper on it. Fixer to Fabulous fans will want photos, but you're viewing homes from the street, not entering. The route is fixed, so if you want to linger at one spot or skip another, flexibility varies by guide.
Bring sunscreen and a hat; water's included but it's Arkansas sun. Casual clothes are fine. No hidden costs mentioned. Suits all fitness levels since you're sitting. Service animals welcome. Book early during peak season (spring and summer). Groups up to five.
