I really liked this tour and I would definitely take it again. I had a lot of fun and I'm really into history so it was great to learn about buildings in the area! Definitely take this tour! You'll love it!

Just not believeable
Fri, Oct 13, 06   9:00 PM cgalasso Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
It was just too hard to believe the stories being told by our guide -- it looked like she didn't even believe some, if not all, of what she was saying. Her ghost stories, supposedly reported to her by people in the community, were pretty dull. It seemed too convenient that so many ghost sightings occured within a few blocks of their storefront haunted house! Definitely NOT worth the time or money.

It was very annoying on the walking tour when one of the other people in the group started smoking. The rest of us were subjected to his toxic fumes. It was terrible! I recommend the tour be made nonsmoking for the health and safety of all the people who are PAYING to be on the tour!!!!!

This tour was so boring I was hoping that I would get hit by a passing car, total waste of time and money.

we expected more

we thought we would have a little more excitement when we left. we got not as much info. as we thought we would. it seemed like if we were to go again we would here the same "story" over. we think it is something to expand on, but not quite thrilling. everyone was very nice and seems to like talking about the haunts of richmond...but maybe alittle change to make it more exciting.

Haunts of Richmond Review
Thu, Oct 12, 06   9:00 PM lbp5328 Female 20-29 Local Family Without Children
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.

It Was A Dark And Stormy Night
Sat, Oct 7, 06   9:00 PM JoAnnMc Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
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.

The walking tour was very interesting historically

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.

Great tour and Haunted house
Sat, Oct 7, 06   9:00 PM mwright5 Male 20-29 Local Family Without Children
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.

Fun way to spend an evening
Fri, Sep 15, 06   9:00 PM mcdeirdre Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
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

Fri, Jul 28, 06   9:00 PM deviant Female 30-39 Unspecified Family Without Children
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!!!!
