| I really thought this was a really neat thing to do. Marcia our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Richmond area and had some pretty good tales to tell. Not to mention, we got to see all of the VCU students going to Hallowen parties all dressed up walking past us on our tour. Very cool. I recommend this tour for anyone curious about ghosts. I enjoyed it quite a bit. The museum was not hard to find at all. The directions were pretty clear. Hope you get to go next Halloween!! | ||||||

Misleading

| This tour was a huge disappointment. The stories were brief and convoluted, most of the tour involved walking in silence, and the sites were unimpressive. I wish that I had known more about the tour in advance. I brought my friend to celebrate her birthday, and we were very disappointed. | ||||||

Good Tour, Needs better presentation

| We certainly enjoyed aspect of this tour. Our guide was gracious and told us that if our little girl couldn't finish the tour and got cranky we could come back the next night with the same tickets. That was very nice. We especially liked the stop at the old train tunnel and the story connected with that. It seemed like the most "haunted" spot and no one would find it, much less know the story behind it, without something like this tour to direct them. Our one disappointment was that our guide was not the best storyteller. The historical aspect of the tour was well done, but when it got to the actual story behind the building/location, it seemed a little disjoint and anti-climatic at times. All in all, we got to see parts of Richmond that we would otherwise have not seen, learned more about the history, but thought that the suspense and excitement of the stories during the tour could have been presented better. | ||||||

| The tour was "okay." It could have been better. The tour guide/story teller, although very historically informative, did not present the stories with a scary undertone. I guess it was because of the atmosphere (traffic and drunkards). It would have been really nice if she told the same stories inside of the buildings of which they are associated with, as well as change the tone in her voice to "build" the story. That would have been a bit more interesting and spooky. I would only recommend this tour for its historical rhetoric. | ||||||

| The Walking Tour around the Shockoe Bottom area was fascinating and very well done. It's a history lesson of sorts with a "spooky" twist. Suitable for all ages but small children might get restless. | ||||||

Haunted Hike Rocks!

| My daughter, who lives in Richmond, and I were looking for something a little different to do while I was down visiting her. We decided it would be great fun to do the Haunted Hike on Halloween night. So at 9 pm we assembled in front of the Poe Museum for an entertaining evening of delicious ghost stories. Our tour guide was a great story teller and led us through the streets of Shockoe Bottom. We not only heard some great stories, we also learned a little more of Richmond's history. The icing on the cake was the inadvertent entertainment provided by the various, ghouls, ghosts, tarts and cross-dressers heading to the bars for their Halloween fun. It was a fun evening! Put on your walking shoes and DO IT! | ||||||

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

Poor tour

| 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. | ||||||

Great Scare and Historical Entertainment

| 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. | ||||||
