5.00The Haunts of Richmond is a must do for the family! Martha was our tour guide and she intermingled historical facts with the ghost stories. It was nice to be outside on a walking tour with the fmaily. We all enjoyed it!

5.00It was our first tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We weren’t ready for the walking but that was our fault not theirs 🤣. Great presentation and humor as well. Will definitely do another tour.

Major Disappointment

1.00We had high expectations for this tour. We love ghost tours. There is so much history to draw from in this wonderful city. You expect a guide to have command of the basic facts of the city, events, and people they are talking about. Our female guide was all over the place when attempting to present the information at each stop. She actually admitted she couldn't remember dates blaming severe dyslexia for not being able to recall the dates needed to give historical context to her stories. Rarely did she mention names of the people in her stories. She even stated she had forgotten to write down the dates or numbers saying we must think she was unprofessional. She was right on that regard but so wrong for this job. There were nearly 40 people on this tour and she completely dropped the ball. The ghost stories were just that with little historical content or much to make them feel real or interesting. She stopped to tell one story on one of the busiest streets in downtown so it was very hard to hear most of what she said there. Our $20 was a waste of money. Avoid this tour to avoid major disappointment!!
Not haunted...just stories. Not like a haunted house or anything like that at all

2.00This is not a haunted tour..its a tour where they tell ghost stories. If you want to powerwalk through Richmond at night and have someone tell you ghost stories...this is the tour for you.
Best Haunted Tour in Richmond!

5.00Phenomenal tour. We have been on two od their tours now and thoroughly have enjoyed the blend of history and hauntings. This is hands down the best haunted tours of Richmond. Normally we save ghost tours for when on vacation, but decided to go on Haunts of Richmond tours, and very glad we did! Highly recommended!
