Williams - Topher spoke in depth with his wealth of knowledge on the important impacts that directly affected the life and creation of Winston-Salem. He touched upon the main points and families as to who? The why? The where? And, the how? The what, though? Was kind of shocking. I think everyone who attended last night spent more time with their jaws dropped then, not due to the unexpected tidbits thrown in by Topher that shows how much time he truly spent into learning the grandeur History and including his own personal experiences while living and touring among those who once lived here in Winston -Salem.

Lots of great history! - I enjoyed learning about the hotel that burned down and why people came to Winston Salem for the cool breezes.

One of the best - This is not your average ghost tour. The emphasis on the actual history of the area and people was the focus. The connections to reports of sightings and paranormal phenomena added to the stories told, but left participants to make up their own minds and come to their own conclusions. Topher, a 25 year resident of Winston-Salem, expertly led the group through the West End neighborhood, pointing out architecture, original homes and historic points of interest. I’ve done tours in Boston, Salem, Charleston, Savannah, Gettysburg, New Orleans and London, and this one was one of the best! You won’t be disappointed.

A bit disappointed - We left early - 25 minutes into it hadn’t heard anything historically substantive. Need to get to the meat of the story quicker.
