I had a fantastic time on this tour with Andy. It was an informative experience, diving into the history and ghost stories of Durham. I discovered numerous interesting locations in the city that were unfamiliar to me, including areas beyond the Carolina Theater, as well as tobacco sites and hotels. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in uncovering Durham's spooky history.
Experiencing Durham's history through this tour was excellent. I gained a lot of knowledge about the city, along with entertaining ghost stories and supernatural tales. David, the owner, was incredibly accommodating to our group and even called us when we got lost, which was a great help since we aren't locals. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, especially the alley, factory, and department store. Thank you for organizing such a wonderful experience.
Andy provided our group with a highly entertaining and educational tour about the ghosts of Durham. He shared a great blend of historical and contemporary stories. He patiently addressed all our questions, and his knowledge was accurate upon my verification. I highly recommend this tour and plan to join more in the future.
The Durham Ghost Walk led by Jackson was outstanding, seamlessly combining local history with ghostly narratives. As a lifelong resident of Durham, I found new stories and could relate them to my own experiences. Jackson's deep knowledge and appreciation for the city's past made the tour even more meaningful. Thank you!
This tour was fantastic. Our guide, Jackson, effectively shared stories about ghosts while also delving into Durham's history. As a lifelong resident, I was surprised at how many new ghost tales there were, and I gained a deeper understanding of historical events I wasn't aware of. I highly recommend this tour for both locals and visitors.
Having resided in Durham since 1983, I recently found this fantastic series of tours. I’m uncovering so much about the history from both the distant past and my own lifetime. There are plenty of captivating stories to hear, and it was particularly enjoyable when some tour participants worked at the highlighted locations. The tour lasts an hour, and my friends and I have loved arriving early for drinks and appetizers before exploring downtown.
We visited several notably haunted sites in downtown Durham. It was a delightful experience, and our guide excelled at sharing the stories behind each location.
We participated in the Durham Ghost Walk with Andrew Nason yesterday, and it was exceptional. Andrew has an extensive knowledge of not only the ghost stories but also the verified history of the locations. His thorough research and use of primary sources made this the best-researched ghost tour we've experienced. He's an engaging speaker, thoughtful, and possesses a deep understanding of Durham and its surroundings. Our family, including my wife, our 12-year-old daughter, and our 4.5-month-old toy poodle, all enjoyed it immensely. It was the highlight of our weekend trip to the Triangle.
This was an excellent experience that provided a lot of interesting historical insights and fascinating tales about the ghosts in Durham. I would definitely recommend it for a fun time.
