5.00This tour was amazing! Our guide, Jackson, did an excellent job sharing about the ghosts and included details about Durhams history. I’ve lived in Durham my whole life and each ghost story was new to me, and much of the history I learned was a deeper dive into events I didn’t know much about. I would recommend this tour to Durhamites and tourists alike.
Excellent tour that accurately blends Durham history with ghostly tales

5.00I went on the Durham Ghost Walk this evening with Jackson who was an excellent guide, blending Durham history into every story. Our group especially appreciated that Jackson grew up in Durham and knew and appreciated the history along with the ghosts who still haunt the city. I’ve lived in Durham since 1980 and learned new stories and also connected the guide’s stories with my personal experiences. Thank you!
Fun experience!

5.00Andy gave our group a very fun and informative tour of the ghosts of Durham. It was a good mix of old and new stories. He was patient with us and answered all our questions (and he was spot-on as I verified his knowledge!😂). Highly recommend and will do some other tours in the future.
Thank you for this

5.00What a great way to experience Durham history...I learned a lot about the city while mixing in fun ghosts and other supernatural stories. I loved that David, the owner, was super flexible with our group and called us to help us find the spot when we got lost... we're not from Durham so it was really helpful. Anyways we loved it. The ghost tour was very good and the alley/factory/department store were our favorite spots. Thank you for putting this together

5.00I took this tour with Andy and it was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about the history of Durham and its ghosts. I visited many cool places around the city that I did not know about. I've never explored the area past the Carolina Theater. I also saw some tobacco sites and hotels. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get to know Durham and explore the spooky side of its history.
