| I have been on many ghost tours and was looking forward to this one. I was very disappointed with the lack of history surrounding the ghosts, such as who they may have been. Also, the group we went out with was huge. We were constantly having to move for a better vantage point. Added to this was all of the noise that accompanies that area. Overall, it was a big disappointment and not something I would recommend to others, either from the Richmond area or visiting. |

| The tour was nice, but the group as a whole way to large. Over the downtown streets of richmond on a busy "clubbing" night we could barely hear our guide. The groups should not be any larger than 20 or so. It looked to have been 50-60 in our group. Our guide explained that the summer tour is longer, if you are paying the same price as the summer tour whether it's cold or not you should pay the same amount. I live around here and want to attend the tour outside of the busy halloween season but think the place should rethink their tour sizes!

| my family and myself were very disappointed. i didn't get the information i needed on the tour, the tickets were over priced for the activity. and i thought i would tour an actual haunted house. in addition i had to pay for parking. this was $72.00 too much. i would not recommend this tour to anyone. i would like a refund. (comment from a mother of two)
i could have seen a nice hot knock out gourges drama teacher perform at comady sportz. though MY MOM wanted to try something different my mom suggested this, we went, IT BITES!!!!!!!! waste of hour and a half.
i cant believe i stayed through the whole thing. (the comment from the youngest son 15)

| The most boring thing I have ever been to. The stories were NOT in the least bit scary, and really rambled. Our group left 20 minutes into the tour. A complete waste of $15. |

I would have like to be able to visit the interior of some of these building where the hauntings had taken place. The stories were entertaining, but need a bit more visual!!!
I am glad that I did it! |

| THE TOUR WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND WAS VERY BORING MORE HISTORY INFORMATION THAN CREEPY TOUR WHICH ME AND MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THEN ON TOP OF IT IT WAS WAY OVERPRICED FOR A WALK AROUND A BLOCK AND A HALF VERY DISAPPOINTING THEN THE ATTRACTIONS INSIDE WERE NO MORE SCARY OR FRIGHTENING THAN A SPIDER WALKING ACROSS FLOOR ALL IT WAS WAS A BUNCH OF ACTORS IF YOU WERE GOING FOR A PLAY THEN ADVERTISE FOR SUCH AND NOT OVERCHARGE PEOPLE FOR EVENTS THAT WERE NOT AT ALL SCARY OR CREEPY WE PERSONALLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE EVENT TO ANYONE |

| The lady that led the tour was very nice, but not the kind of personality that should be leading such a tour. She may have been better fitted to be a elementary school teacher, or a cheerleader.
The stories were just "OK", but maybe if presented in a different fashion, would have been fine. Must interject a little more of a "creepy feeling" into the talk.
Check out the Charlottesville "Spirit Walk" through the HIstorical Society, for some ideas. You have potential! |

| We enjoyed the walking tour of Richmond, but you need more than one computer/cashier in the line, it was ridiculous...the wait. Your tour guide was grand and we enjoyed ourselves. We got married the Saturday before, so this was a nice treat for the two of us :) |

| Being local, the thing that I liked most was the historical references and tidbits of information about the buildings that I pass so often. I would recommend going to the earlier walking tour because it was hard to hear the guide at the late tour because of the music pouring out of the clubs that are frequently near or actually are the building the guide is telling you about. I think the earlier tour would be easier to hear and enjoy. |

| The Walking Tour around the Shockoe Bottom area was fascinating and very well done. It's a history lesson of sorts with a "spooky" twist. Suitable for all ages but small children might get restless. |
