An unusual thing to do that’s worth doing! - A fun, out of the ordinary, memorable thing to do! We are a family of 4 with a preteen and teenager, and there was another family of 6 in our tour with 4 teen girls. Everyone seemed to enjoy- not many eye rolls and annoyed sighs from the teens, which is a win! Rachel our host is passionate about the town and knows her stuff. Our weather was also perfect, I don’t think I’d want to do this if it was raining or freezing. It’s definitely an excursion our family will always remember, and that’s what these experiences are all about! *wear walking shoes, may want to bring water.

Rainy Day Haunt - The tour guide was amazing, my friends and coworkers came for my bday. It was really cool to see little haunts in downtown Greensboro. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and so friendly. We all had a really good time!!! It was raining at first, so we all brought umbrellas and ponchos, it eventually stopped raining, but it made it more spooky and fun.

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!
