Tobacco Road Tours

We had a great time​ ​Friday night! Maxine, our tour guide was very willing to deal with 13 raucous people all night long. She's a great storyteller and was very patient with the group. The stories were great, the places visited (especially the vault) were neat and t​he bars were fun (we even visited a bar none of us had been to before - Atomic Fern!) We love Durham and now we know a little more about it!

This was an excellent choice for us to do outside the box! We had so much fun! I highly recommend the pub crawl and haunted tour. Ghost stories, history about the capital, great drinks and awesome atmosphere... What else do you need?!

Born in the area...and still learned a lot of history. A great tour well worth your money!

This tour was so much fun. We got a few spooky stories and introduced to some fun new bars we would have never found normally. Our tour guide had a great personality. I would definitely recommend the ghost tour and bar crawl. However, if you're looking for young party bar hopping tour, this isn't for you. This is more of an adult date night kind of thing. If you go, ask for Dave as your guide! He was seriously the best!!

Went on the Haunted Footsteps Walking Tour. My husband and I were on vacation from out of town, and I really like learning the history of wherever it is I'm visiting. While your level of belief in the paranormal or supernatural may vary, the real draw with this tour is the storytelling ability of the guide. If I recall correctly, our guide's name was Jean. Jean had an incredible talent for storytelling and our tour was more like a walking performance. I don't mean this in a hokey sense. The stories were told with fervor to really get you interested, but Jean was also very personable and humorous between stops. She even made sure to look out for magnolia blossoms along our walk since she found out neither my husband nor I had ever smelled one. I would certainly recommend this tour and especially this guide. Be warned that there are graphic depictions (verbal and pictorial) of multiple deaths, so the tour may not be suitable for children.
