Great information and great tour guide - This tour was amazing and Andrew was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The tour and the walk are great and it was an assume experience to learn about places I have been passing for 6 yrs and some hidden gems I didn’t know about. This tour and Andrew’s knowledge are worth more than I paid. It was great to meet someone who is passionate about all the history of these local areas. I am definitely taking other tours with Andrew and his team. Highly recommend this company.

Learn as you walk - If you love history and want to learn about Raleigh, NC I recommend Viator. The tour guide was full of local and historical knowledge. If you like walking and history this is a beautiful way to accomplish both at the same time.
