Highlights of Raleigh
The audio tour was very informative since my family and I knew little of the history of Raleigh. We were glad that we took the tour on Sunday since it wasn't very crowded. It was easy to follow the instructions and listen to the audio.

Venture20432138483, Sep 2026
Amazing experience!
Omg what a fun experience!!!! I've never been to nc but my bf has family here. We seen a more expensive food tour but then came across this and it just sounded so much better and it was cheaper. Our guide, Brittany was excellent and it was really cool that it was just two other couples. Kind of perfect honestly. Then after the tour, we walked with Brittany a bit to get back to our car and she was still so very polite but seemed more like a friend we were chatting with. She was really cool and we enjoyed her. We wish her lots of luck with the future!

Bull City Cocktails Guided Tour of Durham’s Best Drinks

A must-do for cocktail lovers
This tour was a blast from start to finish. The guides were fantastic — knowledgeable, funny, and clearly passionate about Durham's cocktail scene. They kept the energy high the whole time and made everyone feel welcome, even in a group.The drinks themselves were the real highlight. Every stop had something creative and well-crafted, and it was a great way to sample spots I probably wouldn't have found on my own. Perfect mix of good drinks, good stories, and good vibes.If you're visiting Durham (or even if you live here) and want a fun night exploring the local bar scene with people who really know their stuff, this tour is a must. Already telling friends they need to do this one. Highly recommend!

Interesting Local Lore
We had never done a tour like this one. Typically we have taken ghost tours, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Our guide, Andrew, was amazing! Clearly he had done his research, was a captivating storyteller, and was open to questions and any additional dialogue. We learned a little history I cannot imagine we would have learned anywhere else.The only thing uncomfortable was the heat. If you decide to take this tour in the dog days of summer, bring bug spray!
