If you are going to Manteo you need to take this tour! So much fun and a lot of fascinating history. We learned so many things on this tour and heard some really interesting personal stories from the Chief about the people he's met and events that have taken place here. It's very family-friendly and is a slow-paced walk. We really enjoyed strolling around downtown Manteo on a beautiful night hearing all about its history and the Outer Banks. The Chief is a wonderful storyteller and very entertaining, definitely passionate about history and the area. He's very friendly and you will have a wonderful time and laugh a lot too.

You are extremely kind to say such nice things. We strive to entertain our guests from all over the world with the unique history that we have here in Manteo. I was privileged to have met and known some of America’s most beloved celebrities like Mr. Andy Griffith and other folks who have visited or also found The Outer Banks to be their home. There truly is no where else in America where so many “firsts” in American history has occurred from the 16th Century to the 21st.. It is truly am amazing place . Please remember that as part of our living history, you are always welcome home to The Land of Beginnings! Please have safe travels and come home soon! Chief D

Please don’t forget to visit us and see the migration of our Tundra Swan at Matamuskeet. It’s a sight you will always remember. Remember you are welcome home to Manteo anytime.

It's challenging to give a historical walking tour when a town has suffered multiple fires and hurricanes, leaving precious little "historical" places to see! The Chief does an admirable job, showcasing a passion for history and storytelling that serves him in good stead as a tour guide. I very much enjoyed hearing about the history and the effect of hurricanes on the area. In my opinion, he leans too had into 'local celebrity' Andy Griffin and especially the time Richard Gere stayed here while filming a movie 15+ years ago. We stood for a long time outside the (non-historical) hotel Gere stayed at, hearing a story that went on for far too long. I feel like most folks under 65 wouldn't engage with the Griffin and Gere stories. For this tour, I recommend leaving the kids at home, enjoy the guide's enthusiasm, and patiently wait out the Gere story because the final stop is a moving one.
