| I enjoyed it because I learned some of a different type of history in Richmond. When going through the widows house it was sometimes hard to hear what the actors were saying because the background music was a little loud. |

| The weather was much cooler than it had been It had rained during the day. This provided the right atmosphere for a Ghost Tour. Our guide met us as we werre completing a wonderful dinner just two doors from "Haunts". We were all impressed with this. We had checked in at "Haunts" early and said where we would be. We arrived on time to find an enthusiastic group anxiously waiting the walk. Our group and the others who joined us were all in a great mood. There were all ages in our group. One child who was scared but loving all. There were couples, the parents of that child, and the six of our group. Our guide was a wonderful story teller. Her stories were well researched, funny at times, a bit serious at others. The crown warmed to her instantly. My husband often has the complaint that he could not hear, when we are in a crowd. He remarked that he heard very well, and found the stories intrigueing. This is high praise from a man of few words. I heard a young woman say to her husband "WOW" after the story of the child ghost. The guide, was focused, didn't take herself too seriously but held out attention. We all agreed that this was a unique and totally fun night. We want to return and take the other tours soon. |

| I loved the walking tour of Shockoe Bottom, the tour guide was very informative and had great understanding of the area and the history. She was great to talk to and a very nice person to be around. I would tell you more about the tour itself but that would just spoil it for you. A must see and do in my book. |

| My wife and I attended the tour last weekend and loved it. The tour guide was well versed and demonstrated thoroughly a kean understanding of Richmond's history and the hauntings within. We were also blown away by the haunted house. Again the actors were very professional and extremely convincing. Though my wife and I were informed that we would not be physically touched while in the haunted house, the realism of the characters kept us second guessing the whole way through.
We also appreciated that everyone was polite. The two gentlemen working behind the desk were very pleasant too. It was comforting and reassuring to be treated kindly, despite being in a fairly sketchy part of Richmond.
Outstanding job!! We will definately recommend both the tour and the haunted house to other people and will likely reattend in the future. |

| We had a nice time walking around Richmond. The only "bad" part was the huge amount of walking, including up and down a couple of steep hills... so wear good walking shoes and be in fairly good shape!
Interesting tidbits of information, and cool stories to hear. Highly recommend the Widow's house to finish up the night! |

| I felt the tour was over priced for what we did, and the guide walked to fast, but other than that it was basicly interesting, She did do a good job telling the stories. however because of cost and the fact it was only outside( you should offer at lest one building that can be entered) and most orginial building were not still there I would not recommend this tour. One thing that I feel might offset this opionion happening with others is you might consider including the haunted house tour along with the walking tour at one price..then also offer a walk in price for people who just want the house..Hope this helps |

| My husband and i are from North Carolina and wanted something fun and different to do, i searched the internet for ghost tours and i found haunts of richmond. Although extremely hot that night i enjoyed every minute of the tour, our guide was very personable and very knowledgeable on the tour. The widows house was very interesting and the stories were great!!!! I highly recommend the tour for anyone who is into ghost tours!!!! |
