I really had fun on the true crime tour - A lot of fun to be had on this tour, we loved it. We were a last minute building and just in town for the day, but the tour director and guide were both very accommodating and helpful.

True crime fun - This tour was a lot of fun. I am a big true crime fan, and had heard of only one of the cases, and got introduced to a really cool look at Winston-Salem. Annie was the host and did great.

W-S Crime Tour - Very good tour. We enjoyed it. The stories were new to me and I grew up in the W-S area. They were interesting and well told.
