Very interesting and fun tour. We had a group of 10, so we did a private tour. Leader was knowledgeable, engaging, and personable. The tour is as much about Richmond history as ghosts. Enjoyed walking through "the Slip"!

I was so excited to take this tour. I've been wanting to go since moving to Richmond a few years ago. However, while the tour guide was nice, the tour which has SO much promise. The guide's delivery was not unlike a book report. It lacked vigor, personal story, natural humor. It was rich in "um's." Sadly, the tour guide was guilty of one of the sin's of leading tours: telling people what the tour used to offer that was better than present (e.g. starting within the grounds of the Poe Museum complex). I would absolutely go on another tour with this company and would likely enjoy getting to know the tour guide as a friend, but as an experience, I was underwhelmed by the delivery and found myself looking at my watch.

I’m sorry to hear that the tour was not everything that you hoped for. Regarding your comment about the tour differences from yesteryear to today, circumstances will sometimes change in 20+ years of business. While we enjoyed working with the Poe Museum in an official capacity over 10 years ago, we amicably parted ways and have engaged with them for special events ever since. The stories and experiences that we gathered during our official partnership remain as a part of our tour for their unique and personal value. I’m sorry if sharing these stories detracted from your experience in any way. As for the story delivery, we will have a chat with our guide to help them smooth out any delivery issues that you noted. We appreciate your feedback, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like to discuss this any further.
