    Fun and interesting ghost walk! Andrew was a great tour guide. Fun learning a whole different side of Durham.

    Andrew was a great tour guide and had a wide knowledge of the buildings and their history. The ghost stories were very entertaining as well. Our tour started at 8 pm and lasted about an hour. Very interesting and fun tour. We would love to do another one.

    Five stars for this ghost walk!

    We did the Durham Ghost Walk yesterday with Andrew Nason, and it was outstanding. Andrew knows his history inside and out, not just the ghost stories, but the real, documented history behind the sites. What really stood out is that he’s done his own research and draws from primary sources. Best-researched ghost tour we’ve ever done. Andrew is a great speaker, engaging, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable about Durham and the area. We went as a family — my wife, our 12-year-old daughter, and even our 4.5-month-old toy poodle — and all of us had a great time. Highlight of our weekend trip to the triangle!!

    Durham Ghost Walk: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Raleigh.

    How much does Durham Ghost Walk cost?

    +

    Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Raleigh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Durham Ghost Walk take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Raleigh is not rushed.

    Is Durham Ghost Walk worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Raleigh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Durham Ghost Walk?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Durham Ghost Walk suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Durham Ghost Walk?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Raleigh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Raleigh and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Durham Ghost Walk start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Raleigh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Raleigh?

    +

    Raleigh offers museum-heavy downtown walks, brewery and food tours through the Triangle, historic Oakwood strolls and short drives to Durham and Chapel Hill. On Outty we rank every Raleigh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Raleigh Historian-Guided Downtown Walking Tour, Raleigh True Crime Tour, Raleigh Guided E-Bike Tour: Tacos, Margaritas, and History. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Raleigh?

    +

    April to May and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Raleigh?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Durham Ghost Walk?

    +

    Included: Tour of Durham's ghostly tales of haunting. Not included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Durham Ghost Walk?

    +

    We meet at Fate & Folklore in Downtown Durham. For parking, we recommend the Corcoran Street parking deck nearby. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Durham Ghost Walk offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Durham Ghost Walk?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Durham Ghost Walk wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Durham Ghost Walk if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Raleigh. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Durham Ghost Walk?
