Very cool tour - I loved the stories. The tour guide knew them well. He definitely made Richmond come to life. I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t realize there was so much history here

Loved this tour - This was a really fun thing to do! You get these cute glow in the dark rubber bracelets & a sticker. My tour guide was Jeff & he was awesome. Very knowledgeable & sweet. I’m not that big on history, but I really enjoyed this tour & I left with some cool information. Loved walking around on cobble stone roads & loved looking at the old houses. Such a cute little town too. Very nice place to visit.

A summer night, fun and learning - Our guide was a history buff so along with hearing the ghost stories, we learned some really cool things about Richmond historically. Also, having the starting point be a restaurant was a great idea!

Decent historic tour - More historic tour than a ghost tour. It would have helped if the tour guide kept his opinion of the paranormal to himself.

Not that great. We left early. - My husband and I love ghost tours, but we actually walked away from this one. The tour guide was entirely too long-winded and could use some practice editing down the stories. The first stop we had took 25 minutes alone as she shared entirely too many stories about people without tying them into the place she actually took us to. She lost our attention, and we noticed other folks getting anxious. The second stop was at a corner talking about a place further down the hill, so we didn't even get to see the haunted building on this stop. She blamed it on the hill, being too hard to walk. Then again, the stories dragged on and on and went into her own personal stories about the building. My husband and I agreed that if it didn't improve by the third stop, we would leave. And we did. The third stop was at least in front of the building the story pertained to, unlike the first two. But, again, the stories are just too long-winded. And the guide spoke more like someone talking about their Friday night out than a good haunted history guide. In 1 hour, we had only managed to do 3 stops on the tour... and only walking around one block at the time. So, we left. It just didn't hold our interest.
