Fun, informative, and thoughtful tour - What a fun and informative experience this was! Andrew is an excellent tour guide who is knowledgeable and passionate about Raleigh, history, and true crime. He focuses on the victims of the crimes, which we really appreciated. All too often the focus is on the offenders. Andrew also shared his theories on some of the unsolved crimes, which were very thought provoking. Absolutely 10/10 recommend!!

Great time, great experience, worth the time! - My friend and I were looking for something new and fun to do and came across this tour. Neither of us had ever done a walking tour. Andrew was engaging, entertaining and very knowledgeable about all the different true crimes that took place downtown. It is a must-do in Raleigh! He's very well versed and detailed in all of the content and is looking for other stories to research! Great story teller! Worth it!

Great tour - Great tour. The only downside was the temperature in the mid 30s, which was no fault of the tour guide. It would have been much more enjoyable in warmer weather.

Fun Night Out - This was a fun night out. We had dinner before and ice cream after so it was nice to get out and walk a bit. I grew up in Raleigh and had never heard of any of the true crimes. Our guide really did his research going into details of each of the crimes. He also answered any questions we had.
