Excellent tour, rich with history and stories to bring everything to life! Topher was fantastic and he left us wanting to listen more!! Would definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back!
A bit disappointed
Mary_D, Dec 2023
We left early - 25 minutes into it hadn’t heard anything historically substantive. Need to get to the meat of the story quicker.
Great historical ghost walk

A Great Evening

My family, including our 11 year old daughter, greatly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Topher, was knowledgeable and a fantastic story teller. The tour included a lot of history with tales of hauntings sprinkled in throughout the evening. We have taken ghost tours through several cities around NC, VA, and GA, and this one is right up there with the best! Highly recommended!

The history of the town and the neighborhood was our favorite part of the tour. The tour guide was so passionate and knowledgeable. He made the tour fun and educational. Thank you.
Didn’t see “the girl in the blue dress,” but highly recommend anyway!
Megan_L, Jun 2023
Loved every minute. The guide, Topher, was fantastic! Great guy with engaging stories. He is clearly proud of his city and enthralled by quirky historical happenings of the area which made the tour very entertaining and interesting. It was the perfect mix of history (which I wanted) and ghosts (which made each story even more interesting.) The walk is not too long. We will do it again next time we are in town with others. Highly recommend. Thank you!
Awesome Ghost Walk

Excellent tour with good history review. My wife, mom and 3 kids all enjoyed the tour. It’s a beautiful small town too!
Great stories and fun history
Joe_D, Mar 2023
Topher was an amazing story teller and really brought the stories to life. It was a great tour and so much fun. He really managed to tie the stories in to the history of the area, so they weren’t JUST stores, they were relevant.
Will honestly bring others to do it again
Thomas_B, Feb 2023
The amount of history is amazing, and to add to it Topher clearly knows the history but more importantly is passionate about it
Full of history and...

In the park under the tree, peaceful under the tree but I can almost sense something just beyond where the branches end.
Must attend this fun tour!
Caroline_W, Oct 2022

Madison_S, Oct 2022
Topher was such a great storyteller! I'd recommend a tour with him 100%. My friends and I learned a lot of fascinating history and spooky tales about Winston-Salem. I'm looking forward to more tours with the company in other cities in North Carolina 😃
