| We did not attend due to inclement weather (i.e. cold and heavy drizzle) . My in-law who is 80, didn't feel like she should go. I was disappointed . | ||||||

| I really enjoyed the stories I didn't realize the history of the train tracks in church hill... One of the friends in my group is a history major and she was expecting not accurate history of Richmond but she was highly impressed with the accuracy of the tour. I do wish that there could have been more on the tour but I understand time restraints and the location of everything. I was a little disappointed that we could not see the gardens and couldn't go upstairs in the house I think that would have made the stories a little bit more "fun" sense we would have been upstairs while they were being told to us. | ||||||

| I've been on Haunts of Richmond once before and thought it was really amazing so I was excited to bring my sisters along this time. However, out tour guide was so green that she did a terrible job telling even my favorite ghost stories and almost got us hit by a car on broad street. She spent the first forty-five minutes of the tour in the garden of the Poe Museum talking about Poe's life. And not interesting details of Poe's life, really mundane details that made me wonder the whole time if this was ever going to get better or if I should get my money back. It didn't get better. She spent the last five minutes of this talk sharing ghost stories about the actual building with us. Those stories were interesting, too bad they were not her focus. She was a very nice lady, but a terrible tour guide and with ticket prices set at $17 she was also a great disappointment. I know tour guides need to be trained at some point, but perhaps there needs to be a little more evaluation and a little more hand holding in the process. | ||||||

| As a local of Richmond for the past eight years, I had heard the ghost stories, but hadn't visited the sites. The tour was a nice mix of history , sightseeing, and stories. It's a fast pace though, so if you can't walk a good 1/2 mile at a steady pace, choose an alternate tour. Fun activity for pre-teen and teenagers as well. | ||||||

| We booked the ghost tour as everyone in our wedding party had gone on line and checked out "activities in Richmond" the ghost tour came up tops and our wedding party were very impressed and not dissapointed with the tour. We booked the tour for Saturday night as we were getting married on the sunday.....(I will explain why I've put that bit of info in later). Our tour guide was fantastic (and I am sorry I cant remember his name) he started to explain all the stories at Poe's and really got into his story telling part right from the start, he captivated us with all the tales of Poe's and it was brilliant. Anyway as he took us around town and explained everything that went on in times of old and you never felt left out or something was missing and when he did his rendition of the Shockoe train tunnel collapse...well I have never seen so many people hugging each other as they were gripped in both fear and joy at the whole rendition, you could feel the hairs on the back of your kneck stand up!! . This tour is well worth going on and I recommend it. Right I did mention the Poe's stories...... well we got married in Poe's garden on the Sunday and some of the wedding Photo's show some of the wedding party stairing into various corners of the garden looking for " the children playing " ......need I say anymore! | ||||||

| $14 was WAY too much for the Haunted Shockoe (richmond, va) tour. Just down the road is a Holocaust museum, which is free, and might I add, absolutely amazing. I could have walked around the downtown ghetto for free if I wanted to. | ||||||

| This was an overall entertaining night and cost seemed appropriate. It was not "hokie" and the guide provided good history on the sites we toured. Guide was friendly and pleasant. The only wishes were there was more information on the "ghosts" themselves and not so much of the stories of people who had the experience Also ,some of the areas we walked through were not safe. The company has not control over that, but wonder if there are better areas of Richmond to do this. | ||||||

Would Recommend!

| It was very interesting to learn about the local places that have had 'certain' things happen at their establishment. Our tour guide was informative and had a great sense of humor. Although the tour lasted two hours we technically only talked about and visited 5 places so I wish we could have learned about more places in that area. Most interesting was getting close to the area of the Church Hill Train -Tunnel cave in- that was the spookiest because it was by an abandoned building. One or two cameras 'decided' to have dead batteries at that point. There was also only one mention of a confederate type ghost. Odd seeing as how Richmond was the capital of the confederacy. Once again, wish we could have covered more ground. Great for all ages, my son is seven and he was excited. Walk was good, not too strenuous. I would definately take other family members again. We were one of the only local people, most others were from the north. Looking forward to downloading the pictures we took! | ||||||
