Absolute must-do in Raleigh - One of the best tours I’ve ever taken! Tour guide was very passionate about history, I could tell he enjoys what he’s doing. I recently moved to Raleigh and couldn’t figure out if there’s anything to see at all, I’m so glad I found these walking tours, turns out there’s quite some things to see here. Also tour isn’t very difficult, even on those who aren’t big on walking. Totally recommend!
