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.

Great tour - Tour was very interesting! Annie was delightful and we are disappointed we don’t have time to do more tours with her. Will visit her again.

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.

Fun times for all - I had a lot of fun. Annie is a very smart and humorous host who did a great job, and I had a great time. The tour also ends right in the heart of downtown in the middle of many great bars and restaurants.

It is a 4 stop... - It is a 4 stop experience. The stories were not great and the guide had to stop multiple times to check his notes and he also didn’t know where he was going while we were walking. I would say skip this tour.
