Haunts in the Neighborhood - Kim, our guide, did an awesome job! She was passionate about all the stories she shared. She had a clear speaking voice that was easy to listen to as well as be heard. There were hills but she was very respectful in traveling so all could keep up. Be prepared for hot summer weather. I was thankful I had my water bottle and fan. My sister and I really enjoyed our experience.

Informative and Interesting - The tour was both informative and interesting. I’ve lived in Winston Salem my whole life and still learned some new things about the history of the west end. It was very kid friendly, our preteens loved it. Definitely end your night with a glass of wine in the historic home at the end of the tour!
