Pub crawl company outing - We had a company outing for a ghost tour/pub crawl and it was so fun! The guides were knowledgeable, great storytellers, and really nice too.

A Ghostly Good Time - I went on the tour with five friends. Our guide, Zoe, was amazing. She was engaging and fun. We had a fabulous time and learned a lot about the history of Richmond. I highly recommend this tour.

Definite To-Do in Richmond - Fantastic tour. Our guides Beth & Chris wove compelling stories around the sites we visited in the historic area. They were easy to understand and the narrative flowed seamlessly from site to site. Our group included both families and older couples. Everyone seemed to enjoy it equally. Definitely a top recommendation in Richmond.

This is for the Poe Fans - If you're in to Poe conspiracy theories, ask for Olivia!!! She was a treasure trove of interesting information! My 9yo was so engaged and you should of heard the questions he was asking!!! So deep!! She blew his little mind!! We had perfect weather for it, too, which was the cherry on top! We had dinner just around the corner at the Proper Pie beforehand, which made for a really great family evening!!! Would highly recommend!!! Just FYI, there's no sign at the meet up location. We met them in front of Richbrau Brewery. If you go the the bottom of the hill on 20th St, there's a fenced-in lot for the Holocaust Museum that you can park in!! Hope you see some ghosts!!! 😅🤣😅🤩

Excellent - The FreeMason building was amazing to see. I absolutely loved learning about Edgar Allen Poe. The beautiful house the corporate man owns was nice.

A Wonderful Walk in Richmond! - Wow, that tunnel was enough to convince me! This was a great experience, and mine being a bit more exclusive than most, I had both Chris and Beth to guide our merry band of miscreants about the Shockoe Bottom, filled with some wonderful architecture, incredible history, and more spooks than you can shake a dowsing rod at, some of these locations were really creepy and the Poe Museum was the perfect night cap! Take this walk and understand there is no haunt without the history. Another top flight local experience you simply cannot get anywhere else!

Very interesting tour with historical facts. Learned about parts of Shockoe I’d never known before. Missed the tunnel - Enjoyed our tour by Beth. Very informative about parts of Shockoe history. Interesting info about some resident ghosts. Wished we could have seen the tunnel up close but skies were getting dark.

Needs More Stops - I'm a professor of history from Pittsburgh and have gone through several of these tours My sole problem is that the stops were too long. This meant that the stories went on forever. The best solution is to have more stops with shorter descriptions at each. Our guide, a young looking woman, was losing her audience not from lack of ability, but the length of each stop.

Boring... - It pains me to say it because the guide was amazing and clearly passionate about the topic. But we stood mostly at a large distance away from the sites and it was stories that people told them. Or... stories that people didn’t tell them...? If you know, you know. We didn’t even finish the tour, but snuck off to walk back to the hotel. It doesn’t help that the area is apparently a party district. So, a lot of people cutting thru and trying to listen over music being pumped thru various vehicles. Takes away all the “magic”.
