| This is fun for ghost hunters and regular people looking for a thrill. I thought the guide was well informed and very funny as well. The locations on the tour were very interesting and unique. I would like to go back to those locations we visited and investigate for myself! |

| If I wanted to go on a tour of Richmond's most haunted restrooms, I would have gone to VCU. With s ghost tour, people expect a level of suspense and scary stuff- I thought thats why it was at night. You could have at least put red lights in a window and had them flicker (would have been 1000x scarier). The thing scary about the tour was the fact that we went north of Broad Street (I was more scared of getting shot than getting spooked). Thank god I was from Richmond- most of the history the lady told only people from Richmond would have known. Her stories were unimpressive, unprofessional ('my friend went to this bathroom.."), and a bit silly. "There is a blood spot in Laser Tag that wont go away but is covered by a coke machine." We didn't go into anything and were told silly stories that barely made any sense without historical background. Waste of time and money- overpriced. |

| Although our tour guide was mediocre, the tour itself was a waste of time. When we arrived, they could not get the door open to the Stone House and we had to walk into the back courtyard through the back garbage entrance past six, overflowing cans. We saw nothing on the whole trip, we were not allowed to go into any of the buildings (although most of them were public) so we overpaid $15 to hear about 3 ghost stories. I would have thought they may have used even the most primitive special effects or something to try and scare us a bit, but we saw nothing but cars and boredom. The tour guide said that she usually takes people to the Church Hill Tunnel, but that there was too much water. She then said that 75% of the tunnel is filled with water at all times, so one of those was not truthful. We could have saved ourselves an evening and just googled Richmond. |

| Our family, including the teenagers, really enjoyed this tour! It was time well spent and prompted us to do further research on the topics covered in the tour. Strongly recommend. We can't wait to do the Haunted Capitol tour. |

| Stories were interesting and entertaining. Learned alot of history through the stories, which is one of the main reasons we do ghost tours. |

| Our group was all over 21 and perhaps we needed more history specific to the characters in order for the tour to be more interesting. Two of the stories were better because of the content, The Tunnel Collapse and The Blacksmith Murder. |

| Too much info at each stop. A couple of details about each one limited to a total of 5-10 minutes per stop would be great. I saw a good deal of fidgeting and bored looks on some members of our tour group. |
