Great Haunt Tour for Halloween! - This tour was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. He clearly has researched Winston-Salem and the tour included as much history as haunts which we love. It was a beautiful fall night for a night time walk through the West End. We dined in the West End close by so we could walk to the tour. We have also been on the Charlotte tour which was equally enjoyable.

Amazing time! Highly recommend - Topher gave us an excellent tour. It filled me with so many different emotions that it made me think more about Salem’s rich history. I loved that he gave us historical context before jumping into the ghost stories. Definitely a fun event to do with a group of friends!

Great story telling and historical tales of Winston-Salem - The tour was an excellent mix of area history and paranormal story telling. Our guide (Kim) was a Believer who wove her tales of ghosts and lore so expertly we ended the night looking over our shoulders for spirits that might have decided to follow us home through the streets is Winston-Salem. We highly recommend this 90 minute experience!
