| The tour is a very interesting look at some of the history of downtown Richmond. It is not very creepy or scary so dont go expecting to be frightened. Make sure to where comfortable walking shoes as you will walk about 2.5 miles, a lot of it uphill. The tour guide was pretty knowledgeable but in my opinion let her interest in the paranormal get in the way. Dont expect much from the Edgar Allen Poe aspect. All around it was an okay experience. |

Historical info good/less emphasis on ghosts

| Our family enjoyed the historical info on this tour and would have liked more of it. It is interesting to see Richmond on a night walking tour as we would never do this alone. The children ranged from 14 down to age 6. They all felt there was too much to-do about "ghosts" etc. We enjoyed walking around the governor's mansion and capitol building. Our guide did not wear the widely-mentioned "white robe" and I was glad of that. I wish he had shared much more information about Edgar Allan Poe and other historical figures. There was plenty of opportunity to share additional info while the slower walkers caught up.
I don't regret doing it as it was interesting. But, I won't be doing another "ghost" walk for a long time. |

| The tour and the advertisement for the tour was very misleading, non-interactive and boring. Will not reccommend to any other individuals or groups. |

| I wasn't sure what I had gotten myself into but as it turned out, this ghost tour was really alot of fun! There is so much history to Richmond and this tour can really only touch the surface. Our guide, Marcia, was very energetic, personable and thorough with the stories she told us. In between stops there was a great deal of walking, even hiking up steep inclines and hills, but she was very patient and tried to stop occasionally to give everyone a breather as well as a preview of the next stop to come. Thank goodness it was not too terribly hot! We were encouraged to ask questions along the way and take pictures with our digital cameras whenever we wanted. And there were some moments when certain cameras wouldn't work! All in all, we were treated to a 2 hour tour in which we learned a great deal about haunted Richmond and got some great exercise to boot! Thanks Marcia! |

| Our guide was great. I forgot her name (So Sorry) She had a lot of energy, enthusasm as well as information. Which she presented it with out a lot of the fake theatrics. I would have liked to hear a little bit more on the history of the area but it is a long walk and fast pace so I understand it is hard to get it all in. Just know that it is a long ghost walk, ours lasting almost two hours. There are lots of hills and it can be almost too much if it is very hot like it was for us.( Mid July) I would highly recommend the walk to most people keeping in mind the length and hills. Ghost walks are a great way to learn about the area you are visiting. This one ranking 2nd in the ones I have been on. |
