Raleigh True Crime Tour

Beatrice_E, Apr 2026

Do it!!

This walking tour was so fun! Perfect little path around Moore Square and the information about each event kept us invested the whole time. Andrew is clearly passionate about his work and truly made the experience worth it. Can't wait to revisit with my bestie :)

Wilmington Coup and Massacre Historic Tour

Angela_M, Mar 2026

Great History Tour

Max is an articulate and captivating storyteller…and obviously a great student of history! As we walked (with timely rest stops along the way), he did a phenomenal job describing both the key players and critical events leading up to and including November 10th, 1898…while presenting all key points clearly, audibly, and in a logical fashion. In addition, he always ensured the safety of his group (there were 8 of us) as we navigated the historic streets of Wilmington. Highly recommend this tour if you enjoy history…you won’t be disappointed!

Blue Ridge Parkway and Waterfall Hiking Tour from Asheville

Hope_N, Mar 2026

This tour was AMAZING!...

This tour was AMAZING! Tony was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. His van was super clean and we felt very comfortable going through the mountains, which can be a little scary if you’re not used to it. The snacks and beverages he provided also came in handy as we didn’t get to eat breakfast at the hotel before leaving. The sites were simply breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour!

The deep dark secrets

Lots of great stories and a fun experience. The walk is great and the river had a spooky coating of fog to set the mood! Our tour guide was great and kept us all involved and had fun anecdotes from other tours that she gave in the past. Would definitely recommend.

Carolina History & Haunts Greensboro Historical Ghost Tour

Erin_H, Nov 2025

A fun, spooky time!

The history about Greensboro and the sheer amount of hauntings was really cool to learn about! Our guide, Oliver, was outstanding. He was not only knowledgeable, he seemed genuinely interested in the stories and questions from the whole group. The walking distance was not as long or hard as I personally expected, and it was cool to see my city from a new perspective. I highly recommend!!

Excellent Tour with Peter: Highly Recommend

Peter gave a very thoughtful informative tour covering the history of Asheville and more recent events. His background as a teacher showed as he kept a diverse group engaged. He also provided a list of terrific places to eat tailored to our needs. We love Viator Tours and this is one of the best we’ve ever taken.

Historical and paranormal events with Brian

Brian did an amazing job at sharing historical facts as well as paranormal legends and his own personal encounters with the paranormal. He made sure everyone could hear him and took time to answer questions. He took us to locations of places where the paranormal has been said to happen. You can tell Brian truly enjoys sharing this information by his high energy level and enthusiasm. Highly recommend this adventure for your trip to Asheville!

Asheville Historic Downtown Guided Electric Bike Tour with Scenic Views

John_M, Oct 2025

A great way to see Asheville and some terrific views a bit outside of town

The leader was very energetic, engaging and fun. The ride was easy -- partly on city streets, partly on bike paths. Some great views once you get out of downtown. The e-bikes make it pretty easy -- you don't have to be in particularly good shape to be able to handle this ride, as long as you're generally comfortable on a bicycle

Cheryl_H, Sep 2025

Historical events that are generally unknown.. ex: a Goldrush in North Carolina!

Elizabeth really knows the history and back story of the stops on the tour. Easy walking access to the locations we saw. My grandson and I both enjoy history and it always helps to understand ... "the rest of the story" and the reason that caused a particular event to happen.

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.
