5.00Andrew was a great tour guide and had a wide knowledge of the buildings and their history. The ghost stories were very entertaining as well. Our tour started at 8 pm and lasted about an hour. Very interesting and fun tour. We would love to do another one.
Excellent & entertaining time!

5.00We did the Durham Ghost Walk yesterday with Andrew Nason, and it was outstanding. Andrew knows his history inside and out, not just the ghost stories, but the real, documented history behind the sites. What really stood out is that he’s done his own research and draws from primary sources. Best-researched ghost tour we’ve ever done. Andrew is a great speaker, engaging, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable about Durham and the area. We went as a family — my wife, our 12-year-old daughter, and even our 4.5-month-old toy poodle — and all of us had a great time. Highlight of our weekend trip to the triangle!!
This is a nice ghost tour :)

5.00We went around to a few especially haunted buildings in and around Durham downtown. It was a really nice experience and our guide did a good job telling the stories.

5.00I have lived in Durham since 1983 and have just discovered this wonderful set of tours. I am learning alot about the history that happpened in the long ago past and then some that happened while I have been living here. There have been certainly no lack of stories to here. It was especially fun when folks on the tour happened to work in some of the focus spots. It is a 1 hour tour - my friends and I have enjoyed going early to get drinks and appetizers before joining the tour andLook exploring the downtown area.
Informative Storytelling!

5.00This tour was amazing! Our guide, Jackson, did an excellent job sharing about the ghosts and included details about Durhams history. I’ve lived in Durham my whole life and each ghost story was new to me, and much of the history I learned was a deeper dive into events I didn’t know much about. I would recommend this tour to Durhamites and tourists alike.
Excellent tour that accurately blends Durham history with ghostly tales

5.00I went on the Durham Ghost Walk this evening with Jackson who was an excellent guide, blending Durham history into every story. Our group especially appreciated that Jackson grew up in Durham and knew and appreciated the history along with the ghosts who still haunt the city. I’ve lived in Durham since 1980 and learned new stories and also connected the guide’s stories with my personal experiences. Thank you!
Fun experience!

5.00Andy gave our group a very fun and informative tour of the ghosts of Durham. It was a good mix of old and new stories. He was patient with us and answered all our questions (and he was spot-on as I verified his knowledge!😂). Highly recommend and will do some other tours in the future.
Thank you for this

5.00What a great way to experience Durham history...I learned a lot about the city while mixing in fun ghosts and other supernatural stories. I loved that David, the owner, was super flexible with our group and called us to help us find the spot when we got lost... we're not from Durham so it was really helpful. Anyways we loved it. The ghost tour was very good and the alley/factory/department store were our favorite spots. Thank you for putting this together
