      Definitely Give the Ghost Tour a Chance!
      Great ghost tour! Chilling true tales that are backed up with historical resources. It was intriguing to hear about how much downtown has changed over the past couple of centuries. The tour does a great job of offering stories spanning from the Civil War to the present day. I highly recommend it!

      Best haunted tour we have taken.
      The tour was informative and fun for all the couples in our group. It was just dark and scary enough for a haunted tour. Oliver was an excellent tour guide and we will go back to the area again sometime soon.

      Worth every penny!!!!
      This was AMAZING! So much history learned. Topher was our tour guide and so knowledgeable is everything he spoke about, had great conversation and we felt very at ease walking around the streets at dark! The walk was easy. Would recommend 100% for anyone coming here!

      Well worth it…believer or no
      An outstanding tour! Our guide Rachel was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Greensboro, but her deep enthusiasm is what made this tour nothing short of delightful. We were engaged numerous times by downtown bystanders who added their own very interesting experiences while working in certain buildings along the route. Whether you believe or not…this was the most engaging and fun thing to do while visiting the city. If you’re on the fence…I’m here to tell you…just book the tour.

      Great Ghost Tour in Greensboro NC
      My family and I loved the ghost tour in Greensboro, NC. I forgot the tour guide's name but she was knowledgeable, entertaining and made us feel very welcome. I appreciate that even it was just the 3 of us, the tour operator allowed the tour to go on. I believe you need a minimum of 4 people. Sorry I forgot the tour guide's name, but I think it was Olivia. We toured the week after Easter. If we are in NC again, we will do the Winston-Salem tour. Thanks again for the great experience!!!

      History and Haunts was a hit!
      Loved the extra history of Greensboro in addition to the eerie stories that we learned about during the tour. It’s such a cute downtown area with a lot of interesting history. Our tour guide, Olivia, was a lot of fun too!

      If you want to know what you don't want to know, take this tour.
      We spent the walk with Rachel and it was amazing. She gave a little history mixed with a lot of great local ghost stories. The walk was just a few city blocks but took us through a bunch of little nooks and alley's. It was very informative and spooky.

    Topher was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about the history of Winston-Salem. I had visited the Reynold House Art Museum that morning (highly recommend if you’re completely new to the area like I was) and a lot of the stories that Topher told expanded on what I had learned there. The tour went over a bit but I was having so much fun that it could have gone longer still.

    The tour was an excellent mix of area history and paranormal story telling. Our guide (Kim) was a Believer who wove her tales of ghosts and lore so expertly we ended the night looking over our shoulders for spirits that might have decided to follow us home through the streets is Winston-Salem. We highly recommend this 90 minute experience!

    Topher spoke in depth with his wealth of knowledge on the important impacts that directly affected the life and creation of Winston-Salem. He touched upon the main points and families as to who? The why? The where? And, the how? The what, though? Was kind of shocking. I think everyone who attended last night spent more time with their jaws dropped then, not due to the unexpected tidbits thrown in by Topher that shows how much time he truly spent into learning the grandeur History and including his own personal experiences while living and touring among those who once lived here in Winston -Salem.

    My husband and I just finished this tour and it was great! Topher was our tour guide and he had the perfect personality for a tour like this.

    He asked a lot of questions that really got you thinking about the story he was telling and the location of where we were. He was able to add suspense making the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

    Highly recommend this tour for visitors and locals!

    Such a fun and informative night. We did the 9pm tour and it was a very small group, which made for a lot more interaction. Topher was great and gave us a great tour. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn more about the history of the area or just something unique to do.

    This is not your average ghost tour. The emphasis on the actual history of the area and people was the focus. The connections to reports of sightings and paranormal phenomena added to the stories told, but left participants to make up their own minds and come to their own conclusions. Topher, a 25 year resident of Winston-Salem, expertly led the group through the West End neighborhood, pointing out architecture, original homes and historic points of interest. I’ve done tours in Boston, Salem, Charleston, Savannah, Gettysburg, New Orleans and London, and this one was one of the best! You won’t be disappointed.

    My boyfriend and I came from out of town and wanted to explore some of the history of Winston-Salem. Tofer did an AMAZING job at not only meeting that expectation but exceeding it! Tofer’s tone, voice, and stories were all captivating and intriguing. I highly recommend this tour to not only tourists but locals as well! Don’t think about it too long… just book it! You won’t be disappointed :)

    Great tour and fascinating never before heard stories and history of the area. Our guide was great and an absolutely riveting story teller. She did an awesome job of making us fell like it was 1892 again. The history alone makes for great tales and you are left with the feeling of the spirits whose unfinished business keeps them close to home. Highly recommended.

    This tour was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. He clearly has researched Winston-Salem and the tour included as much history as haunts which we love. It was a beautiful fall night for a night time walk through the West End. We dined in the West End close by so we could walk to the tour. We have also been on the Charlotte tour which was equally enjoyable.

    Our guide, Topher was AMAZING!
    Our group age ranged from teen to 70 yrs and everyone was engaged and interested. So many interesting stories told by a person who was born to tell stories. I have a newfound love for Winston Salem.
    Highly recommended!!
