Andrew was a great host and guide! He was very knowledgeable and genuinely appeared to enjoy what he did. He brought a great energy and interacted with us the whole way through. I would recommend any haunted or history tour he had to offer.

Tour guide knows his subject matter, does his research. Some of the walkways were uneven surfaces, brick and cobblestones.
Definitely Worthwhile!

This was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Andy, was extremely knowledgeable and it was clear that he took pride in his work as an historian. The tour was engaging and provided interesting information that you probably would not get anywhere else. My spouse and I were still discussing the stories the next day and decided to drive by some of the sights in the day light. The timeframe and distance of the tour were perfect, and we felt safe the entire time. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys learning local history in a fun way.

We had such a fun time on this tour. Andrew was very fun to hang out with, personable, and knowledgeable. He was helpful in assisting others in crossing streets, and frequently ensured that my friend in a wheelchair was not left behind. The ghosts were very cool and had a lot of history behind them. I would recommend 100%.
Tremendous!

Andy was an amazing storyteller. I learned a lot about Raleigh and its history, and each site was very cool to visit. The walk was well-paced, well-planed, and really fun!! I will definitely be back for other tours.

My favorite ghost tour in NC. This tour shows a fun commitment to storytelling, history, and friendly atmosphere. Andrew was excellent at making Raleigh's history come alive. Also, I think we actually witnessed a ghost, when a pair of lights flickered in a building right after Andrew mentioned that the lights tend to flicker at night. Independently owned by a local with a lot of personal knowledge to draw from.
