Halloween Happenings

It was enjoyable evening spent in Richmond, VA.Activities were fine. Smaller groups are always more enjoyable. Ghost walk 1-10. Haunted House 1-4.....each activity had too many people. Also non-smoking events are always appreciated.

We went early for parking. No where to set to wait. Tour was good but the walk (pace) was way too fast. Wear comfortable shoes. They should open 1 hr early.

Somewhat Interesting
Sat, Oct 27, 07   9:00 PM Magill Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
Not a lot of substantiated evidence of paranormal activity. The best stories were more historic in nature. The guide did a great job of engaging the group, though, and had a good sense of humor.

Poor tour
Sat, Oct 27, 07   7:30 PM janiceud Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Our group as a whole was too large, the tour guide was all about Poe, and I felt like we being rushed along. None of the stories were exciting, it was boring enough that we left the group and went to dinner. A different guide might have made a difference.... I don't know. I have no intentions of going back to find out.

Interesting but Pricey
Fri, Oct 26, 07   9:00 PM TashaBob Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
The tour was interesting, although the tour guide was a bit annoying, with adding little jokes that only she found funny. It is very much overpriced ($18 each ticket when all is said and done) and should be reduce to $10 each. Tickets were not even checked by the guide and it would have been easy simply to join the group touring for free.

Excellent guide, but not so excellent crowd
Fri, Oct 26, 07   7:30 PM jesslrob Male 20-29 Local Family Without Children
Our tour guide was fantastic. She was totally funny and entertaining and a had a huge knowledge of Richmond history. We loved her. The problem was our company on the tour... We went on a 7:30PM tour, and it was overloaded with noisy kids, who were constantly yelling and interrupting the tour guide, as well as two large wet dogs. I love kids, but I think the tours should be split into adult tours and family tours, because people of different ages definitely have different attention spans. Given the choice to go again, I would go at 9:00PM instead of 7:30PM, to end up with a more adult crowd. Also, I don't think big wet dogs should be allowed on the tour. Leave the big wet dogs at home, people. As much as they love to walk, they don't care about Richmond history. Walk your big wet dogs, THEN go on the tour. Just my opinion.

Comparison to New Orleans Haunted Tour
Thu, Oct 25, 07   9:00 PM noaccount Male 50-59 Local Individual
The week following my Richmond ghost tour I took a New Orleans French Quarter haunted history tour on the night before Halloween. The New Orleans tour was longer and about the same price, but the Richmond tour leader was a better, more serious story teller. My favorite ghost tour was in Las Vegas where the tour involved a short entertaining stage show and then a bus tour around Las Vegas to visit the few haunted sites available in the young city. The tour was conducted by a licensed undertaker and comedian and his stories were fantastic. It was well worth paying twice as much for the Vegas tour than was charged for the Richmond or New Orleans tours. Ernest A. Bachman Gum Spring, VA

Haunts of Richmond
Thu, Oct 25, 07   7:30 PM rmfjr02 Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
The tour guide was great she was very up beat and added a little something extra to the stories. However, we were hoping for something a little more “real”. I think if we had been able to go into the various buildings or if we had the opportunity to look around on our own, if only for a few minutes, it would have had more of a Halloween feel. As for the haunted house, just a tiny bit of light would have been nice. I know they were going for the ambience but you could not even see if someone in your group was right in front of you or if they had moved and because we did not know how we supposed to move through the house it made more annoying then scary. In addition, because we had no idea what was expected of us as far as navigating the house our timing was off and we would miss the beginning of the next story. The Actors were great however; it was hard to hear some of them above the recordings. Overall, our experience was okay but not really worth fifty dollars.

Learned Richmond Stories
Sat, Oct 20, 07   9:00 PM LilEeyore Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
I went on a double date to this. I am from Richmond & have always lived here. The tour was good. It would have been better had there been MORE stories. A few people were expecting it to be "haunted" like people jump out and scare you... I wasn't expecting that lol. I learned a few things & saw a few things I was u naware of... I was disappointed they didn't even touch on the "lady in grey" which is a HUGE part of Richmond history & why Richmond burned during the Civil war... she's still around they say. I just think that for $70 & change for 4 people there should have been more... or light refreshments or a water cooler or something else... or an offered "haunted house" in the building we all met at. But it wasn't bad.

Great Fun and educational too!
Fri, Oct 19, 07   9:00 PM jen71471 Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
First, the staff was very very accommodating and nice! The tour was informative. We learned a lot about Richmond's history that was new despite having been residents for almost 20 years! It was appropriate for children, our 9 year old had fun and wasn't scared at all.

Very historical
Fri, Oct 19, 07   9:00 PM Emerld225 Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
It was a great history lesson....not really as scary as I'd like though. It was interesting to hear the history of Richmond though.

Great history, not a lot of scare
Fri, Oct 19, 07   9:00 PM watsonjd Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
Overall my wife and I enjoyed the tour. It was a lot of walking, but on a nice night in Shockoe Bottom, it wasn't a big deal. The tour guide was very knowledgable about the history of the stories he told and was a good speaker. The tour was not very scary but if you enjoy the history of the stories and the old buildings than the tour is enjoyable. The other guests on the tour were the worst part. About half the other guests joked about the tour guide and the tour for most of the time. If the mocking guests were removed I would vote the tour with 5 stars.

Great Scare and Historical Entertainment
Fri, Oct 19, 07   7:30 PM Gadzooks Male 40-49 Local Other
The ghost tour was perfect for our group whihc included local Richmonders and family from Washington DC. Some in the group are related to Sarah Elmira Royster (she was a very distant great...great grandmother) so the focus on Poe and his past really hit home for the group. Great walking tour and ending the night with the stage event really set-off the evening. We recommend it to anybody who loves an old fashion scare with bit of southern history thrown in.
