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.

It pains me to say it because the guide was amazing and clearly passionate about the topic. But we stood mostly at a large distance away from the sites and it was stories that people told them. Or... stories that people didn’t tell them...? If you know, you know. We didn’t even finish the tour, but snuck off to walk back to the hotel. It doesn’t help that the area is apparently a party district. So, a lot of people cutting thru and trying to listen over music being pumped thru various vehicles. Takes away all the “magic”.

While I’m glad that you appreciated your guide, I’m very sorry to hear that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. We do what we can to mitigate disturbances from the bars and restaurants that are nearby, and I’m sorry to hear that we could not do a satisfactory job of that on the night of your tour. If you visit us in Richmond again, I hope that you might give us another chance and perhaps join us on one of our other tours.
