Triangle Walking Tours

Triangle Walking Tours leads guided walks around Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill for people who want the stories behind the buildings. The lineup includes history tours, African American history tours, true crime tours and ghost tours.

It was founded as a way to share North Carolina’s history with anyone curious about it, from first-time visitors to people who have lived here for decades. Some of the subject matter is genuinely dark, and the guides do not soften it. Each guide brings their own skills to the route.

What to know

• All tours must be booked online in advance.
• Custom tours can be arranged by request.
• One tour covers a site that operated from 1856 until 2012 and the history of mental health treatment in America.
• Because each guide tells a route their own way, no two tours are quite alike.
