Had the best time on this tour. Very very informative and lots of history. Keep in mind ghost tours arent ment to be scary and theres never guarantees of seeing actual ghost. However, the tells of the past and the stories of those who lived it will give you goosebumps! Highly recommend! Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes!

It's just not a ghost tour. The guide was very knowledgeable on Richmond's history. I was shocked when I heard about Shockoe Botton's tragic history.
