Amazing history

5.00This was such a fun tour that I would recommend to everyone. While we didn't have any supernatural experiences just the amazing history provided to us on this tour was amazing. Our tour guide was Topher who was so knowledge about the history and any question we asked. I could have walked around the city all day just to hear the mass amounts of history he knew on all of the different locations. You could tell he really enjoyed what he did. The price is unbeatable for what you get. I will 100% use this company if I ever return to the area.
Great tour

5.00Great tour with interesting history around each location. Peyton was hilarious and really put her spin on the stories, as well as her experiences with them. The lantern is an added plus on their part 👻👻

5.00My experience was quite a pleasurable one. The haunt expedition was great because I learned some historical facts that involved the state of North Carolina that I wasn’t aware of. The tour guide was quite entertaining and attentive to her observations of the group and what we wanted to know.
Great evening out
