This walking tour was so fun! Perfect little path around Moore Square and the information about each event kept us invested the whole time. Andrew is clearly passionate about his work and truly made the experience worth it. Can't wait to revisit with my bestie :)

What a fun and informative experience this was! Andrew is an excellent tour guide who is knowledgeable and passionate about Raleigh, history, and true crime. He focuses on the victims of the crimes, which we really appreciated. All too often the focus is on the offenders. Andrew also shared his theories on some of the unsolved crimes, which were very thought provoking. Absolutely 10/10 recommend!!
