My friend and I love true crime so this was the perfect friend date! Andrew was warm, welcoming and engaging. He was ready to answer any questions we had and was very knowledgeable about each true crime case he regaled us with! We highly recommend doing this tour if you're interested in a little of Durham's true crime history!

Great experience. This tour was fascinating even for those of us who live in Durham. The tour focused on about 5 different stories described in relevant sites located in downtown. The stories were well scripted but our host also could respond to multiple questions as we walked along our route. The events described were still timely. He spoke loud enough for all in our group of 6 to hear. It was a total pleasure. I would definitely take others to it again.

Traffic noise made it difficult to hear the stories as the guide's mic/speaker was not functioning. The stories were very interesting and the guide was a local with quite a bit of knowledge. Quite a bit of walking, but nothing extreme. Overall a fun and interesting experience.

This is for all of the true crime fans out there! The opportunity to hear the stories and visually see the locations of some of the crimes was interesting. Andrew Nason was a fantastic tour guide with extensive knowledge of some of Durham's infamous true crimes. The tour was engaging and had me thinking for sure. Andrew not only tells the stories, but he actually follows up and researches the case outcomes and can tell you the current status of the criminals. That was cool to hear! If you are into true crime, I would highly recommend this tour!

Very fun tour, but also had a great and respectful message. The last stop really gave me a lot to think about. Andy was very knowledge heavy and thoughtful.
