      Great tour! Even if your not a history junkie like me, anyone would enjoy this short, but fact filled tour of the American Tobacco campus and downtown Durham highlights. The guide is a local and legit historian with love and respect for the city's rich culture and history.

      Comprehensive review of the city of Durham. He went through the highlights of the history of the city, it was raining right at the end and really hot throughout, But the tour operator was energetic through it all.

      Great Walking Tour
