Very good tour. We enjoyed it. The stories were new to me and I grew up in the W-S area. They were interesting and well told.

Annie was well spoken, entertaining and very knowledgeable as our “True Crime” tour guide. We really enjoyed our tour and look to do more.

A lot of fun to be had on this tour, we loved it. We were a last minute building and just in town for the day, but the tour director and guide were both very accommodating and helpful.

Tour was very interesting! Annie was delightful and we are disappointed we don’t have time to do more tours with her. Will visit her again.

This tour was a lot of fun. I am a big true crime fan, and had heard of only one of the cases, and got introduced to a really cool look at Winston-Salem. Annie was the host and did great.

It was a great time and fun to learn more about the city. The host was great and the bar at the beginning was pretty cool too.

I had a lot of fun. Annie is a very smart and humorous host who did a great job, and I had a great time. The tour also ends right in the heart of downtown in the middle of many great bars and restaurants.

Annie was amazing!! She was a great storyteller and drew everyone in. She answered questions like a pro and really connected with the guests. My friends and I had a great time and would love to do another tour with her!
