Andrew is an expert on everything about Raleigh and made the information very interesting. I enjoyed the stories and the architecture a lot. It was a very worthwhile tour.
Arrive early to arrange parking.

Guide was excellent with thorough knowledge of Raleigh history. He spoke clearly and loud enough for our group of 12 to hear.
Walk was at a pace for all to make.

Andrew our guide was very knowledgeable. It was very warm the day we walked so one hour time was sufficient

Andrew is passionate about history and knows a ton. He is interesting to listen to and we could not stump him with any questions. I was accompanied by my 13 yo granddaughter who was engaged in the whole tour. We’ve lived in the Raleigh area for over 20 years. Just wish I’d done this sooner. He offers several other tours and I am anxious to check them out. We were with another couple who had done the black history tour before and they came back for more.

Andrew was knowledgeable and interesting! He clearly had taken a lot of time to research and refine his talking points. He was friendly and encouraged questions.
It’s a bit more than on hour but that depends on walking speed and questions.

Andrew was an awesome guide. Full of knowledge and a superb story teller. We wish it had lasted longer, but he packed in a lot in a little over an hour.
