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!

Excellent way to spend a free evening - Topher was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about the history of Winston-Salem. I had visited the Reynold House Art Museum that morning (highly recommend if you’re completely new to the area like I was) and a lot of the stories that Topher told expanded on what I had learned there. The tour went over a bit but I was having so much fun that it could have gone longer still.
