Three tours down! More to go! - This is my third tour with Triangle Walking Tours and I always have such an awesome time. I love history and I have a deep respect for Andrew and the work he does to dive into old archives and really research what he shares on his tours. I also appreciate that he talks with guests as he guides you between locations- telling mini stories and answering questions. Looking forward to doing all of his tours over time! Highly recommend!!

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.
