Amazing and Informative Tour - Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and made our tour amazing. We had a great time getting to learn about all of the local history and lore, we never knew was right under our feet. If you have lived in North Carolina all of your life or it is your fist time here, I would recommend this tour to anyone as there is something for everyone.

Entertaining history tour for adults and kids 10+ - The presentation is very story-driven. It is well paced and a good length. It's great being outside and walking throughout the city. The guide helped us envision what the landscape looked like 150 years ago. The ghost stories aren't horrific, but they stick with you and help you remember the history. IMO it was a little too creepy for kids under 10, especially at the end when it was dark outside. But it's appropriate for older kids and all adults.

Fantastic Experience! - Great experience! It was fascinating to learn so much history in a short amount of time. The tour guides were knowledgeable and fantastic storytellers. Went home with a list of books and further research topics. Both my husband and I recommend it- go you will have fun and learn a thing or two!

Williams - Topher spoke in depth with his wealth of knowledge on the important impacts that directly affected the life and creation of Winston-Salem. He touched upon the main points and families as to who? The why? The where? And, the how? The what, though? Was kind of shocking. I think everyone who attended last night spent more time with their jaws dropped then, not due to the unexpected tidbits thrown in by Topher that shows how much time he truly spent into learning the grandeur History and including his own personal experiences while living and touring among those who once lived here in Winston -Salem.
