These Streets: Tales and Tours

My husband and I took the The Cone Brothers Untold Histories tour during our recent trip to Greensboro. It was great! Lee did an outstanding job teaching us all sorts of interesting things. He is a great tour guide! Don't miss if you are in the area.

Greensboro is a city rich in history, where every corner seems to tell its own story. My wife and I discovered this firsthand during our stay at the Biltmore Hotel, a site closely tied to textile pioneers Moses and Caesar Cone. The Cone brothers left an indelible mark on the city, and much of their business unfolded right here and over the surrounding acres. We learned the fascinating—and sometimes scandalous—details from Lee, our guide on the These Streets tour. His deep knowledge of the Cone family and his passion for storytelling brought the neighborhood’s past vividly to life. Thanks to Lee, we now see these streets from a different, more historical perspective. If you’re a history buff visiting Greensboro, I highly recommend taking a These Streets tour. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how this remarkable area came to be.

Our delightful tour with Lee was quite serendipitous!! Little did I know my curiosity about the Biltmore Hotel's name would lead to such an informative tour of Greenboro's history from a very knowledgeable guide!! Lee's enthusiasm & passion to share these stories with my husband & me made our time with him a highlight of our vacation! We highly recommend Lee as a guide--you won't be disappointed.

I am usually not a person to leave a review but Lee was so impressive with his knowledge of the history of Greensboro and of the Biltmore Hotel. I had to write a review. It started out with a warm welcome with Lee meeting me downstairs at the hotel. As I was walking the streets listening to the history of places where we were standing, it was a fascinating experience. Lee painted a picture in my mind so vividly i felt as if we were back in time. I literally felt as if I could see the buildings and the atmosphere of the Era he described, even in the mist of the downtown busy streets. He was very organized and informative. Amazing experience, thank you Lee.

Highly recommend! It is very evident that Lee genuinely cares about the history of Greensboro and the Biltmore Hotel. His passion to tell the stories of everyone involved not only made the tour educational but also entertaining.
