Well thought out - A BLAST! I was convinced to take this tour by my girlfriend. I had no opinion on true before, but...I think I'm a true crime fan now? I loved that the tour was very accessible, fun, and detailed. The guide clearly had a genuine love for the topic. It was interesting, but not gratuitous. The guide/writer? even shared with us his rationale for how he writes about cases, and I was surprised about how much thought he put into something like this. I want to give Andrew a ginormous round of applause, and I hope to catch him on the next one.

A unique date night - Had a wonderful time and enjoyed the story telling experience. Not too gory or too much walking. Downtown Raleigh has its own characters but we were mainly left alone since we were engaged with the guide. I would recommend it.
