Fun tour - Very interesting and fun tour. We had a group of 10, so we did a private tour. Leader was knowledgeable, engaging, and personable. The tour is as much about Richmond history as ghosts. Enjoyed walking through "the Slip"!

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!!! 😅🤣😅🤩

Came excited, left wishing for more Vim and Vigor - I was so excited to take this tour. I've been wanting to go since moving to Richmond a few years ago. However, while the tour guide was nice, the tour which has SO much promise. The guide's delivery was not unlike a book report. It lacked vigor, personal story, natural humor. It was rich in "um's." Sadly, the tour guide was guilty of one of the sin's of leading tours: telling people what the tour used to offer that was better than present (e.g. starting within the grounds of the Poe Museum complex). I would absolutely go on another tour with this company and would likely enjoy getting to know the tour guide as a friend, but as an experience, I was underwhelmed by the delivery and found myself looking at my watch.
