Enjoyed our tour by Beth. Very informative about parts of Shockoe history. Interesting info about some resident ghosts. Wished we could have seen the tunnel up close but skies were getting dark.

Thanks for joining us for a tour! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience. It can sometimes be difficult to get to the tunnel entrance given its distance from our other tour stops, but if we can ever help point you in the right direction so that you can go view it, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We hope to see you on another tour!

Wow, that tunnel was enough to convince me! This was a great experience, and mine being a bit more exclusive than most, I had both Chris and Beth to guide our merry band of miscreants about the Shockoe Bottom, filled with some wonderful architecture, incredible history, and more spooks than you can shake a dowsing rod at, some of these locations were really creepy and the Poe Museum was the perfect night cap! Take this walk and understand there is no haunt without the history. Another top flight local experience you simply cannot get anywhere else!

I'm a professor of history from Pittsburgh and have gone through several of these tours My sole problem is that the stops were too long. This meant that the stories went on forever. The best solution is to have more stops with shorter descriptions at each. Our guide, a young looking woman, was losing her audience not from lack of ability, but the length of each stop.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. I’m glad to hear that our guide’s storytelling ability met expectations, and we will take a look at the length of our stops for future reference. I hope you can join us again on another tour in the future.
